Thank you..
No, that's a true picture...
but shot with the 'tony box'...
So a big halogen, in a white paper box...
I'm sad I do not have any macro....
PS : Canon 5d with 24-70 2.8 L.... So quite good camera...
By the way, i love your 5712..
It's in my wishlist... (which is quite long..)

Nautilus vs Aquanaut......
Hi... which of the two would you prefer? Granted, there is a price difference but they are the two sport watches by PP.... Thanks..... Cheers
None of them...
as the so called "sports watches" of PP have been an error in the PP product line... IMHO It is a clumsy effort to also provide sports watches - which are not "real Pateks" concerning the aesthetics They are not my taste! I know that there are quite a f...
Not to offend either...
I am afraid I simply do not understand why it is necessary to be a dress watch in order to be a "real" Patek. I personally do not live a daily life that is really compatible with a dress watch. Must I be foreclosed from Patek quality? No offense meant. Gl...
Aquanaut for case design and dial.
I would have pulled the trigger long ago if the hands weren't so clumsy on the Aquanaut.
The Aquanaut is so comfortable
and low key with the rubber strap that I find it much nicer to wear although I love the 5712 in rose gold. In a perfect world PP would make the 5712 in SS on a rubber strap with a ceramic bezel. I would be first in line
It's a matter of personal taste
The watch has an interesting case and dial design. The stick hands seem like an after thought. I hope that this is not offensive to anyone. As stated, I like this watch and would like to own one, once I get past my issues with the hands. Cheers Joe
Aquanaut
Aquanaut is my vote, especially with the synthetic strap, very comfortable, comparison with my IWC XII below. This message has been edited by captain-winters on 2010-01-09 20:27:50...
I have tried on....
and it is quite comfortable... I think, though, that the Aquanaut is even more comfortable.... Cheers
The both
There both are aliens in the PP collection... There really so comfortable.. The steel strap are amazing, so comfortable.. and the caoutchouc is perfect for summer... Very thin pieces compared to other diving watches (Sub, 50, ....). So many people disagre...
Wow, Terrific pic, Nikolo
With what I perceive as a nice patina... A trick of Light, or reality? Yours? Best, Nicolas

Both watches, in this configuration is Best of Both Worlds.
But, the outcome may be a bit ...Let's say...Expensive. Best Nicolas
Very true....
tempting but expensive.... Cheers This message has been edited by PinkPanther on 2010-01-10 12:07:43
Nautilus all the way
Love this watch and very comfortable This message has been edited by buscemi4 on 2010-01-10 04:09:19
Well, I'm totally biased.
I love a lot its weird look, typical of the 70ies: But, as with the Aquanaut, I don't see myself practicing any sport with. I would be too afraid with the Micro rotor and the scratch catching bezel. In both cases, lovely watches! Best, Nicolas...
Yep...I never put watches which don't belong to me on an Italian Roof.
It is a question of principle... Best, Nicolas This message has been edited by amanico on 2010-01-10 13:41:55
Both!
I'm frankly delighted that Philippe Stern had the b@lls to ignore all they naysayers back in 1976 and launch the Nautlius liine. Without doing something like that to challenge the status quo Patek would have become like Cadillac and Buick - appealing to h...
Although...
I would disagree that without the Aquanaut and the Nautilus PP would only appeal to "old men'....... I do agree with all else..... Thanks for sharing your thoughts.... Cheers
natutilus for me
i had the opportunity to choose and went for the 5711. that said, the aquanaut is beautiful too. i disagree with previous post where he/she doesn't consider these two models as pateks. i am not sure this is in line with the company's ethos. all watches be...
Tough choice...
...I coudn't choose...so I had to have both ) And I am sure one day I will learn how to make photographs... ;-)...
Your friend's.....
boat is the best boat.... lol Cheers This message has been edited by PinkPanther on 2010-01-11 10:37:49
I also vote for both...
I have a 5711J and a 5167/1a. Although similar they are vastly different in practice... gold case, white dial on a leather band as opposed to stainless steel, black(Ish) dial on a bracelet. I love them both. It's a lifestyle and taste choice. I have basic...
Nautilus without any doubt.
For me, the Aquanaut is just a "missed" evolution of the Nautilus even if the latest version has improved it a lot. Fr.Xavier
My tool watch ...
The Aquanaut ... . By waiting one day ... The Nautilus, two watches very different IMO ;-) Best Patrice...
nice to see some H2o
patrice , quite refreshing to a see an aquanaut in water where it belongs , i certainly swim with mine. regards darren
