In this day and age any man and his dog can research anything. no amount of research will change the fact that the aquanaut is an entry level piece designed to attract younger customers, inspired by the nautilus. Its become a great success no doubt. When I bought my 5712 back in 2015, all nautilus and aquanaut references were readily available. The aquanaut even more so. People have moved over to the aquanaut due to the skyrocketed popularity of the nautilus.

Yes and the sub was inspired by the turnograph. Doesn’t mean the sub is any less watch.

Myself, I’ve never seen a nautilus I like better than an aquanaut. Not everyone wants the 70s look and not everyone thinks genta was a genius. I certainly don’t. Let’s set the bar higher than drawing 2-3 watches that all look similar 40+ years ago
