New Arrival

Following up on my prior post regarding a preowned Aquanaut, picked it up today, all fitted and papered. Love the feel, the look, hard to resist staring at it on a NYC Subway.
AD is ordering a deployment clasp, have always preferred bracelets on sports models, but it should look good. And this bracelet feels great, the case sits so well, should ride under most cuffs.
Can't believe I've got one of these things!

Nice. That's the first PP I ever tried on. Even though most people prefer it on rubber strap, the bracelet is in a different league than most other manufacturers.

Congrats, you got an awesome price, but I think you will rarely put the bracelet once you get the strap, it's really made for this watch, as a Nautilus bracelet is made for the Nautilus case, on strap it just isn't the same

Many congrats! A first Patek is always a great thrill. Enjoy it no matter if it's on a strap or bracelet!

Good price. The bracelet makes the watch look quite different. Growing on me!

Congrats :) It's a beatiful watch.

Tried it on bracelet recently and I actually prefer it to the strap.

Very nice and a big congrats! If you don't mind, would you let me know which dealer you bought it from. (PM probably best to avoid sidetracking conversation here) I remember you saying you were in CT. (I have a secondary residence there.) Always good to know about reliable dealers in the area that seem to offer very reasonable prices. I bought the 5167 recently on rubber from an AD I have bought a lot from and I feel I got a good price but the amount you mentioned in the other thread for yours seems very reasonable. Thanks and enjoy the wonderful piece! My rubber version says hello.

Love it! Think I'll switch the strap to the bracelet on mine for the weekend.
