I would probably go with green on rubber ZF then, little tired of black watches want to add some colors to my collection https://trustytime.shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=39_200&products_id=20755 

@TheGingerFerret yours looks very classy! I like aquanaut for being delicate and not oversized. 

Welcome. Take care, speaking of oversizing, that the Green aquanaut is 42mm (standard one is 40).

There will not be a decent RO chrono, the movements used in the reps are too thick for that watch. But you can go for a classy JFactory 15202 39mm: https://www.intime05.co/audemars-piguet/5186-royal-oak-39mm-15202-ss-jf-1-1-best-edition-blue-textured-dial-on-ss-bracelet-a2121.html that is a beautiful watch...

@GenTLe you are right, I just missed its 42mm assuming all regular aquanauts are in same sizing (

I have gen IWC Mark 18 which is 39mm and its damn comfortable, so now I prefer smaller sizes. 

I found this piece PP Aquanaut Travel Time its 41mm, but not sure if its worth going into complex mechanisms on replicas https://trustytime.shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=39_200&products_id=19652 look

It's not a really complicated movement, it's a 9015 with a couple of gears more. The size, on this one, is correct too, 11mm thickness like the gen: before there was another one but was much thicker. So... Why not? Just beware that you'll not be able to adjust the 2nd time: the GMT hand works but you can't change the timezone.

@GenTLe I would appreciate if you could recommend good option for HULK, really lost with all the factories and movements( 

what would you say about this one https://trustytime.shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_7&products_id=20936

i dont really care about engravings in the movement just need serviceable/reliable movement with overall good quality of the watch.

cheers

Definitely some great Aquanaut advice throughout this thread.  Especially on the bracelet unavailability.
