Patek Philippe Aquanaut 5167A - V3 with swiss eta rep.

Recommended Posts

What a beautiful watch!

 

I went to the OP's link to Josh's site and saw that there was a V2 for $100 more than the V3, both with the same movement as far as I could tell.

 

So I am really confused - did the V3 take a step backward compared to V2 to warrant the price difference?

Just joined the forum and this may not be the right place for this question but I have searched and this seems to be the best string for it. I have had my replica aquanaut for several years and it has always worked perfectly and still does. The strap broke after a lot of use so I replaced with a croc leather band. But now the rear glass on the back fell out and I was wondering if anyone else has had this happen and any suggestions as to where I might be able to find a replacement part for it. Thanks for any help.

Repress it with a crystal press

Will this fit a 6inch wrist? Also, has it been waterproofed/pressure tested?

 

 

I have a 6" wrist and wear one.

 

They are smaller than they appear.

 

Am considering a 40mm case because of this very issue.

Thanks for the advice but if I still had it, that's the easy part. Somehow it fell off when I didn't notice, thus the need for a replacement. Any suggestions would be great.

About the strap odor- I looked at this watch at two different AD's and both sales clerks spent time emphasizing that the genuine straps had an odor of vanilla specifically built in so that the rubber would have a pleasing smell. Just saying.

Note: This is the nautilus 5800/1a so is smaller in size

I love the look of these but I realise that they're far too small for big wrists. Bugger.

Hi guys,

 

Rep rookie here about to pull the trigger and purchase my first rep! I've had my eyes set on the Aquanaut for a while now and would like to kick off 2014 with an order placed and enroute to me! But - I am still very confused about the difference between the V2 and V3 (the former of which is considerably more expensive). I've trawled through forums here and on other sites, asked the TD's but I still don't understand what the difference is. Any wisdom at all would be greatly appreciated!

 

So hopefully this bump blows the dust off this thread and someone could help me out here.

 

Thanks,

Digi

AFAIK, V2 and V3 are from different makers.

Not sure you can still get a V2, but if you can source one, go for it! The dial is much better....

I have a 6 inch wrist and it wears beautifully.

Beautiful watch, I´m considering also the aquanaut, still not sure about the size, and probably end up with a Nautilus.

Any comments regarding size or they are too similar to notice a difference wearing them on real life and caring less about specs?

Their bezels are identically proportioned, if anything the dial detail and lugs make the Aquanaut wear slightly larger, but you wouldn't notice the difference unless you wore them side by side..........

Needless to say I love them both too, here very different watches though. I think the Aquanaut has a wider more "mainstream" appeal, whereas the Nautilus is a bit of an aquired taste for most people. I prefer the beauty of the Nautilus if I'm honest, but the rugged sportiness of the Aquanaut is an easy choice with almost any attire!!

I agree, I'm more inclined towards the Aquanaut, I was seeing a gen Brown Dial, Rose Gold, Brown rubber strap. Do you know where to get this rep? Ive only seen the one like you have.
