I am going grey :( no luck to get any aquanaut from AD , I didn’t get the chance to try both in person. Would love to gauge the community preference between these two beauties . I like the green but worried that it’s to big of a watch , the rose gold looks classy

If you can wear the green, it is probably stunning. Trick is finding one to try on. Most people who order them from ADs, I would think order them sight unseen, unless they get lucky and get invited to some sort of showing and one is there.

IMHO one of the best aspects is the shiny sunburst dial of most Aquanaut models, including the warm brown hue of the 5167R. While the green is definitely cool, I think the matte finish of the green dial takes away an important aspect of the dial.

5167r without a doubt. The proportions are spot on.

I've seen both and tried on both multiple times. I much prefer the 5167R. Stunning on the wrist and the proportions are on point.

The R is stunning, I love mine.

I have the 5167r and 5968g green - both are spectacular. If I am choosing one Id go with the 5968 - out of your options, id go with the green also. Very unique and fun...

This one imho

I had the 5167R and sold it to get the 5168G . I find the size perfect for my 6 3/4” wrist and the white gold is beautiful.

5168g gets by far the most wrist time and I rarely put on my 5167 anymore

I find 5167R prettier and more versatile than 5168G. With its flat empty green dial I also expect 5168G to look even larger than 5968A which was borderline too large on my 6.6 inch wrists already. That said, when I saw 5167R in the wild I was less impressed compared to the gorgeous pics on here.

It doesn’t get much warmer in watch-land then a 5167R!

Im biased and own a 67R and it is the only time only Aquanaut that moves the needle for me. The SS version for me is boring and the WG versions wear big and flat unless you have a big wrist.

I love chocolate…to eat and to wear. An alternative would be the blue dial which is also very nice.

I think this one comes down to wrist size and preference for size in a watch. I have a 7.5” wrist and can tell you that I found the 5167 to be a bit small. The 5168g might be my favorite watch in terms of sizing and feel in the Aquanaut line up.
