Time capsule - second Patek
Fortunate to acquire an Aquanaut Travel Time.
What an awesome piece! I wasn't sure about the strap going in, but wow is it ever comfortable. Quite a contrast from the 228206 I had.
I often cringe when seeing the two (or more) on a wrist shots, but I couldn't resist. Great care was taken to avoid the dreaded touching...

Congrats

Never been too sure of the Aquanaut, but this looks great on you.

I wasn't sure either but when I bought one I began to understand the subtle allure.

Nice pair! I have the 5164a and hope to add a 5711a. But I can equally appreciate what a great pairing your two make. Well done!
