Great review and stunning pics. You've captured the dial beautifully. Can't wait to see more pics when you get the bracelet!!
Congratulations on acquiring a cracking piece.

hi mel, i'll post a lume shot when i get a chance to set up my tripod
And UPDATE.... three months on with the Aquanaut and it is by far one of my favourites. the dial is unreal, featherlight, nothing i can't say i don't like about it. only problem is, i'm looking for more pateks! a few wrist shots of the Aquanaut... thought i'd be appropriate seeing this is a 5167 thread

What does your fellow passenger think on the tube when you keep taking photos of your watch? :-)
Great photos, as always. I miss mine. As said, once you play in that division, there is no turning back. |

the good thing about the Tube in London is that people have their mouths shut, if you talk you're either: a. on drugs b. escaped from Nightingale c. pissed up everytime i wear the Aquanaut and put on the DSSD it's like going from fine dining to greasy spoon

Thanks for the review.
One of my favorite watches, i had to sell a couple of AP's and some other last year to settle a divorce, one of the was a diver. But then I tried the Aquanaut on... The diver didn't stand a chance! I read many comments about people looking down on the Aquanaut, escpecially when compared to the Nautilus, I don't agree at all. To me the Aquanaut is much better looking and it feels a lot better made (the Nautilus felt super flims compared to my AP 15300). All I can say is enjoy, hope I one get to own one. JC

Very nice indeed!!! I'd like to pull the trigger on a PP too, but at the moment, I yet unable to convince my brain to spend $20-$30k on a SS watch when I can get a gold Rollie for a similar price. Heart says PP but brain says go for gold lol ...

Great thread, one that really changed up a lot for me. Great pics, too. Thanks for putting it together and for the update, too.
If anyone out there likes the "look" of this watch then they'll go over the top meeting it for real. IMO it has a few things, good things, in common with a yellow Livestrong wristband, as in totally non-invasive. Just crazy-cool... |

I think there's only 3 Aquanauters here in TRF.
It's my favorite and if it came down to just owning 1 watch, the 5167a would be THE ONE for me.

the Aquanaut made me realise in detail what i don't like about my other watches. Take the DSSD for example, all the writing on the dial makes it so cluttered. so it's up for sale i can't fault the Aquanaut in the slightest, it's the perfect watch! Quote:
if I could own just three i'd have Aquanaut Red Sub GMT 16750
