As much as I appreciated this, it still doesn't show us whether the pushers function.

Though it does seem to hint at the Day / Night being somewhat functional... at least in that it transitions, though not necessarily that it is coordinated with the actual local / home times.

In regards to the pushers, the small pusher for the date looks like it works, but the two pushers for the GMT portion may be "clicky" but they aren't connected to anything, so wont advance/ recede anything.

Very disappointing. I won’t be buying as this was the one feature I was looking for.

Unfortunate. Great eye, though.

Great catch .. What a shame though!

I will probably pass as well. I knew it was a long shot that the pushers would function, but that would've been the selling point for me.

If you like the watch for the aesthetics and basic time keeping is it a disappointment still? Looks nice to me and an upgrade from GRF

Whomp whomp. For $50 more than the 2 year old 5164 from GRF, you'd expect a little more functionality. SMH

I don't understand this functionality for price talk.

If ZF had the right complications this would cost way more than 478. 478 is what their standard 5167 Aquanauts cost and this is giving you the same properties for the same price but with a different aesthetic for those who prefer the look of the 5164.

The reason it costs more than GRF is because ZF generally has higher quality and fit and finish in their models. Nobody puts the GRF quality for their 5164 on the same level as the ZF 5167 so you should reasonably expect the same from ZF here. Not to mention this is also apparently gen thickness, which GRF is not, so there is another advantage for the extra 50 more USD.

If this actually did have gen complications this would be 100-200 more dollars than it is now, much like the pricing of PPFs 5712 and 5726 over their 5711 model.

If ZF charging 478 for their 5167, it is acceptable to charge the same for a basic function 5164 IMO.
