Rubber vs stainless steel
It is a tough decision...the photos others have posted show the tropical strap to be beautiful and sporty.

The subtle beauty of an Aquanaut
Thanks for the photo, chickenceo...the Aquanaut makes my heart race, even if it does remind some people of a porthole on a ship! To me, it evokes all the best characteristics of the 20th century. It's modern, stylish but not overly "precious," with a shap...
I Couldn't Have Said
it better myself. This model of a Patek that I keep coming back too. The pics are just great.
Agreed
When I first saw the Aquanaut some 13-14 years ago I simply said "wow" and fall right in love. I didnt have the money to buy it until 1999 and I bought a pair (the large auto and the ladies quartz for my then gf, now my wife). I have thought about buying ...
