Picked this up yesterday and very impressed with the quality. Surprised it does not 'hack' however it's easy enough to set the time with a bit of practice.
Found this review also. The guys bonkers. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6Uedx8p-amY

Very nice.

Thanks for your input Tony. If its good enough for PP I'm cool with their design.

Very nice indeed, a versatile watch that is as much at home being a sports watch as it is being a dress watch. I couldn't get over how light it was, you almost forget that you are wearing it.
A lovely clear functional dial that really pops in strong sunlight, recommended for those who wear glasses.
Enjoy.
Looks great congratulations.
Have my name down for one and should hopefully pick up later in the year - this has heightened my excitement.
Looks like the same movement as the 5146

Stay patient it's worth the wait.
Great piece. I miss mine a tad.
Thanks for posting your pictures Geoff. I pick up mine next Saturday and I was already looking forward to it, your pictures make me even more excited!
Counting the hours!

Me too. I think the Travel Time variant might be my favourite watch in production (but that seems very rare in these parts).
Wow nicecongrats!!! Looks really nice.
The Time Travel version was not on my radar until I saw one side by side alongside the 5167.
I am patiently waiting for a Nautilus at the moment, if it comes off I was going to consolidate two divers for a 5167 however im very tempted to also put my 116520 on the chopping board to attain the 5164
There was one on here on the Friday threads a while back, a guy in Scandinavia as I recall, I haven't seen it for a while though. Personally, I prefer the normal 5167.
Anyone showing any interest in the new blue WG version - that looks a stunner.
Initially I liked it but not so much now for some reason. Think its just that I associate the Aqua as classic black like a Sub
The travel time is my unobtainable grail. Although I could get the cash for it there's no way I could justify a purchase to SWMBO unless we won a lottery
Out of interest what are the AD prices for the Aquanaut and Aquanaut Time Traveller?
I'm guessing that discount is a dirty word in a PP AD?
I think its £13,750 and £24,700
I hear some discount is poss on the Travel Time but not sure if thats correct. I guess the standard 5167 is impossible since "hot"
I got an 8% discount from the Aquanaut Travel Time when bought it.
Many thanks :-)

Many thanks :-)
Cool - Was that in Finland?
Out of curiosity do you still own one?
Not in Finland.
We don't have Patek AD here.
And now we have also lost the AP dealer.
I bought it from Milan, Italy.
And yes I still have it. One of my favorite watches.
And it was also my wedding watch so not going sell it that easily.

Lovely watch Geoff.
What a cute puppy!
Just ask for a free service instead. Our friends will oblige, in my experience.
Congratulations on the Aquanaut, it's a lovely looking watch. Although I'm not that keen on haute horologie steel sports watches, this is no nicely executed I could make an exception. Enjoy it.

I should hope so!
Looks good, and much sought-after.......
You'll need to stay out of those dodgy bars!

Beautiful watch. I'd love one of these! I'm a recent convert to rubber on a steel sports watch and these have to be the ultimate expression of the type :)
Love that!
Good on you mate.....
Thanks Simon, I'll certainly ask if and when I get the nod.
Do, I have precedent!😉
No chance whatsoever of a discount on the 5167 - even the Bangkok AD that was selling white dial 5711 for £13k a few years back wouldn't budge on the Aquanaut (or the blue dial 5711). Basically the less popular models that they need to shift in order to get more quota of the popular stuff they will discount on. In this vein you can get 10% off the travel time version but no more than that as its still quite popular. They will drop their pants on a Gondolo or one of the blingy ladies' Nautili as they don't sell many.

Love the 5164 but price and discounts now are awful, a few years ago you could get them for under £20K.
