Beautiful shots in the sunshine, Ken.

You see a hundred threads about travelling with one or multiple watches. For me, the Aquanaut is the perfect one watch travel choice. It is so easy to wear, and completely flexible to use for different activities and dress. People seem to read "rubber strap" in the spec sheets, see a simple three hand/date arrangement and then fail to really appreciate how fantastic this watch is. I didn't expect to love my 5167-A nearly as much as I do, and of course your rose gold just takes the whole thing to an even sweeter level. I love my complications, but if I could only have one watch, the Aquanaut would be a contender. I understand that it doesn't sing the same to everyone, but IMHO, it is a real winner.

Thanks and I agree Chris...Perfect travel watch for me as well. Also most comfortable watch I own and have ever owned. I could also own this one and be quite content as an only watch!

My thoughts exactly. As a 5167 owner I wonder if I would ever be content with another piece. The rubber strap is the most comfortable ever. It's as if the watch isn't even there. Add in the dress / casual compatibility, water resistance, thinness, dial contrast in different lighting, amazing lume and legibility (esp. at night after a few scotches) I really can't see any downside here.
