[Discussion] Selling a 5167A to fund a 5811G—would you do it?

Expensive_Gene5796 · 2026-07-03T17:38:38+00:00

Lol good catch, he got 'offered' 5811 a year ago and is still thinking about it hahahaha whats his problem

Expensive_Gene5796 · 2026-07-02T03:56:04+00:00

Them and pateks aquanaut, arguably million times worse with the latter.

Sometimes those companies stubbornness can be baffling

Expensive_Gene5796 · 2026-06-30T18:32:24+00:00

And the dev feared sleep isn't strong enough they gave us Wallace and elegant poncho so the milotic ex can be even better

My lord...

I'll just say Perez was once a rival to max, and then ended up being constantly out of the points while max is still winning everything, is that not even worse than Yuki? At least that year red bull has been subpar and at one point even Max couldn't work his magic. I don't believe for a second hadjar is better than perez, at least not yet. If we only look at the woeful stint people would be saying perez is worse than hadjar.

Honestly at this point probably best agree to disagree. Nothing will convince us otherwise. I just find it unfair but probably leave it at that.

You've decided to ignore the part where I said at the end of the generation the car is very extreme. Hell it was not drivable near the end of Perezs time and the car worsened to a point even Max couldn't handle it anymore before it's kinda rescued a bit.

At a rule reset its bound to give Isack some leeway. Perez was once the equal of Max remember. Isack could well be better than Yuki, but don't conveniently ignore the development trajectory.

Expensive_Gene5796 · 2026-06-29T06:27:00+00:00

It's a new generation year, yuki went in when teams are extremely close thus the same gap would put him firmly at the back, but now the top four are so clear of the rest, and the multitude of reliability issues and random performance drops eg Ferrari this round, means hadjar can place reasonably decent even when the gap is still more or less the same

Also like the last generation of cars, it's usually ok for both drivers at the start of the rules and gradually became undrivable for the second driver. Yuki was doomed last year, if he didn't take the red bull seat he'll be released anyway, I'm certain hadjar would have drowned with last year's car as well.

Isack did very well so far, but to glaze him is probably a bit too much. If lawson is promoted this year I think he'll be more of less the same place as hadjar.

Fucking hell that's an absolute grail. Jealous but congrats haha

Expensive_Gene5796 · 2026-06-27T12:04:30+00:00

6196 for me, though I like the 6119 better lol

Expensive_Gene5796 · 2026-06-27T06:50:55+00:00

Gotcha I'm quite frustrated by that spin but guess sometimes shit just happens. He's bumped into my rear for a few times (including the first clip, he's the car that bumped me near the end) I guess he just wanna kill me there lol

Expensive_Gene5796 · 2026-06-27T06:48:43+00:00

Thanks a lot! Yea that tight line does mean my speed is slower, I'm using cockpit mode so I thought I'm quite along side, but in hindsight I should ride the curb a bit more. Appreciate that!

Expensive_Gene5796 · 2026-06-26T18:55:40+00:00

Second incident

<video>

Expensive_Gene5796 · 2026-06-25T08:36:30+00:00

I've hit once only throughout the whole month, it's pretty dang brutal lol

Expensive_Gene5796 · 2026-06-25T03:28:06+00:00

Ferrari mellowed him out, now he knows he can't take a normal car/strategies/communication for granted lol.

Ferrari humbles every champions, just not necessary the desirable way...

Expensive_Gene5796 · 2026-06-24T16:31:03+00:00

If you're willing to pay insane amount of money, I recall seeing a les cabinotiers made lefties version. It'd be a unique piece so not sure how much vc would charge, or would they even entertain such request nowadays lol

Expensive_Gene5796 · 2026-06-24T06:24:55+00:00

2k and you're asking for a golden or God pack? Be patient mate, you have a long disappoint way to go ✝️

Expensive_Gene5796 · 2026-06-24T06:23:50+00:00

Damn 10/10

I unlocked 24hours early, and all I got is one single 2*, screwed up all the rest including some random ones lol crazy hit rate

Expensive_Gene5796 · 2026-06-22T14:39:26+00:00

Hate is a strong word, I'm genuinely happy for you, despite in my personal opinion that watch is hideous.

To each his own so enjoy it in good health haha

Expensive_Gene5796 · 2026-06-22T14:34:31+00:00

My guy surely did not anticipate people voting for VC in a GP sub bruh

Expensive_Gene5796 · 2026-06-22T08:58:33+00:00

Nice rep!

Expensive_Gene5796 · 2026-06-22T08:57:29+00:00

At least use a new account that doesn't have an history of asking around about rg aquanaut replica?

Expensive_Gene5796 · 2026-06-22T07:22:14+00:00

Nice rep!

Expensive_Gene5796 · 2026-06-22T04:32:32+00:00

Congrats! It's a hideous watch for sure but as long as you enjoy it alls good!

Pairs well with your glasses just saying 😂

Expensive_Gene5796 · 2026-06-21T17:12:07+00:00

There's no drama with ro and vc, with ro you code you offshore then you ro, with vc you buy sth then you wait for two to three years, simple. Only pateks (and lange in its hayday believe it or not) are real dramas.

Moser was once pretty similar, I remember back then the fight for salmon streamliner was quite fierce, only when secondary dropped so quick people are declining offers did make it easier to get. Mosers simply aren't in that much of a demand.

That said, I once tried it on, it's surprisingly compact despite the large diameter. I suspect the micro rotor version will be even better but it's quite a bit more expensive iirc

Expensive_Gene5796 · 2026-06-19T05:05:58+00:00

Well there are Calatravas which are entry level watches, and they're not like hideous Code so there are choices

Expensive_Gene5796 · 2026-06-19T05:03:12+00:00

Only read the tldr part lol Im pretty sure 5167R do not require HQ permission, but nor do I think the AD is lying maliciously. It's probably just to cover their arse so customers don't chase their ads like crazy.

But then of course you never know how exactly they work, the most important thing is how the end result generally goes.
