Rolex 126655 vs. Patek 5167R.

Which would you pick considering only the design and aesthetics (of course the Patek is much more expensive)?

I think both are very nice, casual rose gold options on rubber.

jamieroop · 11 December 2021, 09:56 AM

I prefer rolex

joejet · 11 December 2021, 09:58 AM

Patek

A lot more I'd think...but if I had the money I'd go Patek. If I had the money...

Yes money is in this

RJRJRJ · 11 December 2021, 10:05 AM

Full disclosure..I have the RG YM. It's a touch question, but the PP is brown, which is not ideal. When you add in the cost of either one, I would go with the YM.

CoveWatch · 11 December 2021, 10:27 AM

aqua for me, slim and easy wear

JSol1 · 11 December 2021, 10:27 AM

As an owner of the YM I have to say a very tough one. I love my YM, but have no Pateks and love this example. I know the Patek community tends to look down on Aquanauts, but I love them…

Jackie Daytona · 11 December 2021, 10:30 AM

I would go YM easily. It’s such a cool watch. Especially for the price difference. I feel it was cooler to start with, but comparing the prices it is a much easier choice, being in my opinion the better for less.

Ohiorolex · 11 December 2021, 10:33 AM

They are both beautiful watches. The Rolex is certainly going to be more robust

GoingPlaces · 11 December 2021, 10:36 AM

At retail PP all day. Although not a fan of the 5167 in steel, RG is beautiful.

Both are beautiful watches. If you made the Patek a 5164R it’d be an easier choice for me.

Schmed · 11 December 2021, 11:08 AM

I'm not a RG fan, but that Yachtmaster..... that one gets my vote

JodyHighroller · 11 December 2021, 11:14 AM

126655 has a much better clasp in terms of adjustment.

enjoythemusic · 11 December 2021, 11:22 AM

Ym

epicurus · 11 December 2021, 11:41 AM

Patek

Ichiran · 11 December 2021, 11:47 AM

The RG Aquanaut.

rM3panno · 11 December 2021, 11:03 PM

Maybe I’m partial because I’m awaiting the next 126655 from my AD but I say the YM by a mile. There are some APs that catch my attention but the 5167R just seems off to me. The look (colors and lines) doesn’t seem as “classic”

I prefer the YM by far based on appearance.

uniqueMR · 12 December 2021, 12:58 AM

Patek

JayHantz · 12 December 2021, 01:09 AM

I personally am more of the Yacht-Master fan on these two.

www777 · 12 December 2021, 01:31 AM

Hard to say no to a patek but for me I would rather have the yachtmaster.

quantumdna · 12 December 2021, 01:53 AM

126655 all day every day for me.

ap1 · 12 December 2021, 03:26 AM

Ym for more worry free wear. I have one and despite the lack of hype it’s one of my most worn

amitgv1 · 12 December 2021, 06:21 AM

I have the YM. I thing it has a younger look. The Patek has more formal and less younger look

fsprow · 12 December 2021, 06:45 AM

Sorry, I don’t have a yacht nor am I its master. Terrible name.

noshake · 12 December 2021, 06:48 AM

Skip both and buy the 5164a...

I don't dwell in the sea, yet here I sit with my 116600...

JR16 · 12 December 2021, 08:02 AM

Price aside, 5167r for sure - more comfortable, slimmer, better dial IMO. Not a huge fan of how the OF bows out at the lugs. With that said, I’ve almost bought the RG YM several times . And for full disclosure own a steel 5167 and a blue YM.
