Enjoy as I'm sure you are ......

Absolutely beautiful watches.

That's cool too.

I just couldn't help trying to enable you.


I'm a rookie but these Big Bad Men here have corrupted me something terrible.

They are both incredible watches. For me divers are the watch for me. So the Aquanaut, but that is me.

I made a mistake of telling the wife on the weekend, No PP for me this year

I stopped by me AD today and I got my cash back. Next year I will have one

[Wristmaster]

Nautilus!!! Jumbo nautilus with white dial is just out of this world..

[Jassen2270]

I like the Aquanaut 5167SS on rubber, But how could you really go wrong with any PP?

[randyyeap]

I would go for 5167A 1st for entry level (for comfort and young)ultimately u will upgrade or get your second Patek then you can consider a more complicated or gold version of Nautilus.
Just my opinion.

That's a heck of a first post! I love that 5712R.

Thank you

[Rolexavidfan]

Nautilus 5711/1a gets my vote. Go for the iconic Nautilus model, the rest will follow.

[z32turbo]

Congrats on the Nautilus!! Can't wait to see the wrist shots.

[cgjane]

Bought it at 34! Of course I am only keeping it warm for the next generation:

Very nice, I really do like the dial on this one and the fact it's on black rubber I think it goes real well together.

[2ar2c1]

the new white dial nautilus is quite nice.

[eric23]

I have been thinking about it and I am now leaning towards the Aquanaut now.

[SubmarinerMariner]

I love the Aquanaut, but also really like the Nautilus. I guess for a first PP, the Aquanaut is a good entry? You really can't go wrong with them...I've had this one for a few years (I think I got it from an AD in Bath in 2010?).

I think the RG goes well with some skin tones and the SS goes well with others. Tis totally up to you and what your tastes are I'm sure.

Good luck!!!

I have never taken a wrist photo of the SS Aquanaut, but here is a wrist shot of the RG;



Here are a few of the 5711;

Either way you go, you can't go wrong.

It just depends upon what you are looking for.


Good luck with your choice Eric.

[kilyung]

A Patek is a Patek. Get what makes you smile, Eric, there's no wrong choice.

Dang...that RG is shiny!!! AND no scratches (sigh)...oh well, the risks of wearing your watches constantly, eh? Hope you get the PP5167R, it is truly eye catching and very sturdy...Moreover, I've found that alot of people in NYC have the 5167A or 1A. We've been able to share and discuss our love for Aquanauts, but I haven't found too many people (read 'none') walking around with the 5157R yet.

Patek did make a White Gold Aquanaut with a purpley strap and I saw one of them being worn courtside at the US Open last year. Haven't seen anymore of those and am now wondering if it actually exists!!!

[jay1988]

My best friends Dad has an Aquanaut, a Nautilus and a Calatrava.

The one thing that surprised me is how tough the Aquanaut is. He's gone swimming in the sea with it, rock climbing and even wears it to work in the garden. At first I thought he was crazy but when I looked at the watch it looked great.

I'd like to own both but I'd say considering my sub, those two would fight for the same occasions and the Nautilus would win.

The Aquanaut has to be seen to be appreciated. Don't think I've ever seen a picture that does it justice.

i prefer nautilus
