I took a macro shot today. Just got the macro lenses and was playing around with it. Thought I’d share. Also, put it on the rubber strap.

Clasp is really nice with the insignia, was meaning to take one with my cufflinks.

Thanks for sharing that excellent shot!

Love the clasp on the Aquanaut. Only thing is that it's kind of a scratch magnet... I have a few unexplained hairlines on mine even though I know it has only rubbed against my clothing a few times.

Great shot. I'd hate to take a macro of mine with the swirls and hairlines on it that would light up. Anything will hairline the bright polish parts of Nauts and Aquas. Oh well wear and enjoy.

great pic. My clasp doesnt look like that anymore, that made me a bit nostalgic for the early days.

Passionata · 11 January 2018, 06:07 PM

Grear shot love that logo !

1William · 11 January 2018, 10:07 PM

Very nice.

brandrea · 11 January 2018, 10:08 PM

Cool shot

I’ve always liked their logo

Flex368 · 11 January 2018, 10:23 PM

I doubt that I want to see a closeup of my clasp as it doesn´t look as flawless as yours anymore.

CRDMMW · 12 January 2018, 01:10 AM

Thanks guys!! Yea the clasp is nice and crisp. I’ve had the rubber strap for about 2 weeks. I’m sure it’ll look far different very soon! ROFL.

The buckle is a scratch magnet. Good that you managed to capture some beautiful shots of it before the scratches develop.

kilyung · 12 January 2018, 01:15 AM

That won’t look like that for long.

tng11 · 12 January 2018, 02:35 AM

This is what my well loved 5167 buckle looked like before I sold it off for the 5164:

Can't help wondering if the buckle face could be either made of a harder SS or simply surface treated to make it harder to begin with, but Im sure there are complications in doing that too.

Also wondering what it would look like if the buckle was a brushed finished (to match the bezel) and the PP logo polished or inlaid. It might hide the the scratches for longer and easier to polish out than a high mirror finish.

I dare say they won't be cheap to replace either.

LPPP · 13 January 2018, 02:19 AM

As long as owner is the one making the scratches, no problem at all.
That’s for me.

Cheers!

WAK4 · 13 January 2018, 08:19 AM

Nice shot! And good move putting it on the rubber strap

My clasp isn't quite in as good shape either...

Vegan · 13 January 2018, 09:34 PM

beautiful

kronomentro · 23 January 2018, 02:46 AM

The Deployant clasp is certainly one of the best parts of the Aquanaut collection!

I agree. Probably not a popular opinion but i think the nautilus could do with a better clasp. Its my only issue with them.

I think the Nautilus clasp is cheap and not befitting of such a high quality timepiece... the Aquanaut clasp is well finished and sturdy, though I guess it may be a bit thick relative to the size of the watch.

What's interesting to me is that the ladies Nautilus references have a buckle that's more similar to the one found on the Aquanaut bracelet (i.e. with push buttons.)

didn't know that. It would be better for sure. Yeah the aquanaut one is a bit thick, but one like an AP RO would be great. I still cant easily take off my 5712 and im use to it at this point.
