I don't own any colored metal and I'm not sure that sports (real sports watches) should be in precious metal. I got my Aquanaut in ss with the tropical strap, but partially broke my own rule by buying a 5712G.

I would save my precious metal money for something that feels appropriate for a more special occasion.

I purchased one approximately two years ago. I was concerned about how I would use the watch...but I was drawn to the rose gold with the chocolate face. It is very functional for travel...especially to warmer, more humid climates. It dresses up but I am n...
5167r after two years
By: Da BaBa : May 24th, 2012-12:18
The rising temperatures and humidity where I am, provided good reasons for getting my 5167r out. After two years...the watch and the band look great. This watch does have a feel on the wrist that is unlike anything else I own....
