15703st vs 5167A

[JorgeCCW]

I think there are several points where these pieces crossroads and several where they diverge.

AP Diver/ PP Aquanaut Cross points

-Rubber Strap
-Entry level (similar price )
-Swim adequate
-Comfortable to wear
-Good Resale (it might be better for PP, don't know)
-Great Lumen
-Bezels are prone to scratch (not sure if one is more prone than the other)


AP Diver/PP Aquanaut diverging points:

- One is obviously a Diver with more WR
- AP has more weight/wearing presence vs Patek is more elegant
- PP has transparent case back to see the movement, AP not
- AP has an inner rotating bezel to measure time elapse, PP not
- AP has 60 hrs power Reserve vs PP 45 hrs
- AP case size is bigger (42X13.8 mm vs 40X9 mm)

Not sure about replacement rubber price but I think Patek strap might be cheaper. Also 3120 movement has history of running fast but from what I heard is not an issue anymore.

But at the end of the day which one would you take home
