One thing concerns me with this watch is that the lume in the hands does not match the lume on the hour markers. It seems the lume in the hands is a lime green and the hour markers are predominently a white colour.

Great photos, they do show this watch in all its glory.
The dial almost has a carbon fibre tint to it's coloured crosshatched appearance. A perfect watch....almost.

wait wait wait, does the face REALLY change color depending on angle?! Is it a noticeable change? Or just remarkably subtle and brought out only in still photos?
Beautiful. I may have just found my next grail. |

The colour of the dial itself doesn't change, but depending upon lighting conditions and angle the dial can appear black, chocolate brown or a metallic grey.

Mate thank you for the reviews and congrats on your new watch! Looks amazing with jeans! I am now interested to get one for myself! ;)
(Btw the DSSD on the last pic looks so thick!!) Sorry to hijack this tread a bit but anyone know is there a PP Aquanaut 5167R (18KPG) brown rubber strap with diamond bezel? I saw someone wearing one in the wild but I cannot recall I ever seen one in the boutique nor in the catalogue. I am sure it is not a lady size. It is a men's watch. Thank you for your kind feedbacks. Cheers!! |

Great watch and thanks for the short review. The Aquanaut is marketed as a young professional's watch. I am not sure what PP's definition of "young" is though. I am leaning towards the Aquanaut over the Nautilus at this time. I will post pics of my final choice.

Can I ask what size your wrist is Puffy ? I've been meaning to try one of these on for a while.
Great review and pictures. |

not sure mate... the strap can be resized to the biggest or slimmest wrists. plenty of slots to cut away at

I'm more worried about it being too small on my wrist. I like the watch to cover most of the surface of my wrist and don't like it when too much wrist is showing.

The diameter is 40mm and it has fairly long lugs, so for my 7 1/4" wrist I find it works fine for me.

Why do my hands look so much more lime green?
Its O.K. but why?

Lovely looking watch. I prefer it over the Nautillus. Seriously considering selling 3 x Rolex to buy one of those.
