Diver all the way
I was torn between the 5167 and the RO 15300. Eventually i got the RO.
As much as i like Patek, i think the diver is a very successful interpretation of a modern dive watch.
It achieves to keep the original RO DNA and being contemporary in it`s design. In a way that it will still look fresh
for a long time to come, IMHO. It does not scream as loud, as some of the other offshore designs are doing.
And it`s wearing very comfortably, although it`s heavier than the Aquanaut. For sure the 5167 is a great watch, but it does
not have enough autonomy next to the Nautilus. For me, a world timer or a Calatrava is much more what Patek is all about.

AP ROO Diver or Patek 5167A stainless steel?
I have narrowed my next watch to one of the two I am heavily leaning toward the AP Diver so a bit biased but am looking for an honest comparison since both are terrific watches. What are the pros and cons of each model? My current watch rotation is 1) AP ...
Diver all day, any day..
I am a patek fan as well but never had a thing for the Aquanaut......

I like both...
Well since this is the AP forum I guess it's not a surprise that the Aquanaut doesn't get much respect here. After all, even over on the PP forum the Aquanaut doesn't doesn't seem to get much respect. But I have a different opinion. I have used an Aquanau...
I quite like the aquanaut......
But I love the diver! It is a cool watch in its own right. I would not buy an Aquanaut as I would always see it as a poor mans Nautilus, however I know someone with an Aquanaut (he could probably afford any PP) and it looks cool and understated on his wri...
"There's no accounting for taste."
" I would not buy an Aquanaut as I would always see it as a poor mans Nautilus…" This discussion probably belongs in the PP forum, but here goes anyway. While I appreciate that everyone has a right to their own opinion, I couldn't disagree more. AFAIK the...
Sorry, no offence intended....
I obviously did not make it clear enough, I was not suggesting that others would see the Aquanaut as an inferior watch as both of these watches fly under the radar anyway to anyone other than a watch nut. I just don't like the design of the watch as much ...
