So my 5968 has arrived at my AD, I’m collecting it tomorrow.
Would you go for orange or black strap? It comes with both options.
(Pic from internet for reference)
Thanks 🙏

Congrats!

Looks like an Black option for Winter and a Orange option for Summer.

Congrats,

Have not seen any posts for this watch incoming yet. Look forward to the pictures.

Are you based in the North or South of U.K?

My AD sent me some pics but I cannot get them to upload. I will when I take some of my own. Yes I believe it’s one of the first released. I’m in the south.

Bearxj86 · 14 September 2018, 11:25 PM

Congrats. Black for me. Orange is a bit flashy for my taste

Codik · 14 September 2018, 11:29 PM

Black if I had to choose, but to be honest, I’d switch AD if he doesn’t throw-in the orange one as a freebie.

Plastique999 · 14 September 2018, 11:30 PM

Orange is the new black....
Someone had to say it

If possible I think you should get both colors.

Congrats OP!

ap1 · 14 September 2018, 11:36 PM

Agree about seasonal - it’s gonna be awesome.

mineral · 14 September 2018, 11:39 PM

I suggest to get both strap too if possible. This reference is highly on my list.

mdtddd2007 · 15 September 2018, 12:07 AM

Awesome!!! Big congrats!!!

Easy choice on black strap!

Hendrikus · 15 September 2018, 12:23 AM

You’ve done well getting this! I want it but my AD in the UK said no chance.....!

uniqueMR · 15 September 2018, 12:43 AM

Fantastic, awesome.
Congrats, beautiful piece.
Go with orange, something different :)

Vipes · 15 September 2018, 12:51 AM

Very cool Aquanaut. Congrats and always bet on black!

AK797 · 15 September 2018, 01:02 AM

I'd get the black but would also have the orange for fun times.

Flying Clog · 15 September 2018, 01:09 AM

Lovely piece. If you couldn't get both - I would get orange just to be different.

tonupbklyn · 15 September 2018, 01:24 AM

congrats on the incoming!

Rrpdc · 15 September 2018, 02:32 AM

Don’t like the orange hands at all.

incontrol · 15 September 2018, 02:38 AM

Congrats! Best with both straps as the orange will be fun at times.

Congrats, look forward to the live pics.

And just to avoid some confusion on the straps in this thread - it comes with both as standard.

peterlicht1 · 15 September 2018, 02:55 AM

Love the orange one. It's something way more special than the ordinary black rubber.

tyler1980 · 15 September 2018, 03:00 AM

love the watch and i want it, minus the orange strap. I said the AP funky diver collection was a bit tacky outside of beach wear and i have a feeling that orange strap will be the same. I haven't tried it on with orange though, only black.

Its a Patek... on an orange rubber strap

Congrats

Thanks for all your opinions.
When I try to post pics it says they’re too big and I need to shrink them manually, can anyone help? I’m a bit new to this forum sorry.

Just use the Tapatalk app instead of your internet browser.
