Excellent point as GS is top-line for their timepieces. In turn, they use their best staff members to create each one. This results in excellent dial and finishing work.
PP's Aqua is just their typical modern bottom line basic stuff for the 'entry-level' production staff to make. If you want quality, consider spending at least $100k (preferably $200k on up) for something crafted by more longstanding, highly trained staff members.
Another option is to consider F.P. Journe or the many other independent brands that carefully craft each mechanical timepiece to very high standards. There's also the possible benefit of modern innovation as well, plus longer warranties and shorter service times.
