MrAP 0 Posted July 28, 2019 My first post. I just wanted to share my recent purchase of my Aquanaut 5968 Chrono and get your opinions. This is my first automatic replica! The dial and casing looks great to me. Maybe the only thing is the date sizing? But I think it looks ok. The rubber strap feels great! What are you guys thoughts on the movement? I’m clueless! Be interested to see your photos of this model! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Really love the sporty yet classy look. The rubber strap is incredibly comfortable too! The chrono works as original which is great! My limited knowledge of replicas tells me that often cheap battery movements mean the chrono works and some auto movements (on cheaper models) render the chrono useless? This Swiss movement, however, works flawlessly! In terms of waterproofing the seller said that it’s sealed and shower etc will be completely fine and it should be pretty waterproof. However they wouldn’t advise submerging for a long time. Potentially a stupid question... but can these things be properly sealed?

MrAP 0 Posted July 28, 2019 Nice. What factory?Guilty! This was actually purchased in Bangkok.. it was obviously much more expensive than most of the cheap crap they offer in those places. But this watch blew me away so I was happy to pay! I used to read this forum a few years ago but after purchasing a Gen Tag my interest in buying a rep subsided. I am, however, now very interested in getting a high quality rep from a TD here. I’m thinking maybe the “classic” black sub to start me off? Thoughts?
