Aquanaut 5165
The 5165 is the 38mm rather than 40mm version of the Aquanaut with the same style integrated rubber strap. I think this was only produced for about 3 years. Given its relative rarity should one expect it to have higher values in the open market? I'm looking at a potential trade and have no idea what to expect.Any thoughts would be welcomed!

Dress Casual PP 5205r/g vs 5712r?
I had previously expressed a lack of enthusiasm for my 5167r. After more time and a Christmas week at the beach, swimming, riding waverunners, etc. I realize it is a great casual watch - beautiful in the sun and tremendously comfortable and can work for going out to dinner in a resort environment.As a next PP I'm thinking about a 5712r or 5205r (cream dial) for dress casual situations - this would replace a rose gold IWC 3904 chrono classic in my rotation. Am leaning towards the 5205r but wondering if this is too dressy and I tried on the 5712r yesterday and it was very nice and more different from the 5167r than I expected. Also saw the 5205g-010 (black dial) and thought it was striking and with the matte black strap/gray stitching a perfect dress casual piece. However I wear a gold wedding ring and my wife notices when I mix metal. Also wonder if the two tone dial will stand the test of time.Would appreciate thoughts/advice. Happy new year to all.

Incoming - Custom Ceramic Daytona
Last August, I purchased a black face ceramic Daytona from an AD after a year wait. Beautiful watch but to me could be better. I contacted Les Artisans de Geneve to customize it, with a 6263 hand made face, vintage polishing, and new vintage hands. The goal was to keep as much as modern as possible with a vintage flavor. I understand many of you may have your own views of customizing an already fine time piece. The result though to me is stunning and I wanted to share it with the community. Les Artisans... is a company to work with. Currently, the watch is not in my hands yet but here are some pictures of the completed piece on its way. Sent from my BBB100-3 using Tapatalk
