Aquanaut 5167 Strap Experiment
so a couple of months ago, i picked up my first Patek, the Aquanaut on a rubber strap. At the time, i was going back and forth between the 5711 and 5167, and ultimately decided to get the Aquanaut because I prefer leather straps, and figured I could ditch the rubber once it arrived and replace it with a 21mm black croc. To my surprise, I found myself very happy with the rubber strap...its comfort, the way the rubber pattern complements the dial, the curved ends that hug the case, and its overall durability were very impressive. Despite being pleasantly surprised by how much i liked the tropical strap, and being very hesitant to scratch up the back of the lugs when removing it, i couldn't shake the urge to at least see what it would look like on something different. I contacted a custom leather strap maker, and gave him the measurements he needed, and the final product was sent to me today. let me know what you think...i really like it, the comfort rivals the rubber, and i think it

Thinking about a 5711, but tried on a 5980...(ruined?)
I've been eyeing a Nautilus for a little while now, focusing on the 5711, doing my research, etc. This past weekend I went down to Shreve and tried on a little bit of everything, trying to finalize my decision. In addition to a variety of other brands, I tried on a Nautilus and an Aquanaut, the Nautilus hands down my favorite. A little bit about my watch history for reference. Daily wearer is a Exp2, occasionally I wear a vintage Tudor Sub, have had several Pams and a few IWC's, and selling my BP5002 and Pam368 to fund the PP. Moving towards keeping everything at 42mm and under. Not a wrist size issue (7.5) just a taste thing. For the next watch, I'm looking for a dressy sport watch on bracelet.But back the issue, I was trying on a 5980(since they didn't have the 5711), and it was perfect, but way out of my budget. My concern is in the differences in feel between the 2, as far as I can tell the 5980 is a good bit thicker as well as heavier, which I liked. I'm concerned that t

Dilemma, what to do??
Recently the 5980 has been giving me an itch, especially the grey dial version, (though I have yet to see one) which as hard as I try to resist it, is a persistent little sod.Now unfortunately funds is a little short at the moment. But would you consider doing the following trade?My 5205G against the 5980A? Now I understand that they are two very different watches and complications, but I would very much appreciate your views and comments.Thank you.RegardsTony
