Not a fan, I think those pushers ruin the overall look.

Wow looks amazing! Now I need to wait for the rep to come out before buying any Aquanaut

Hopefully they manage to make the rep less than 14mm thick (including deco plates), otherwise it would be the same as the 5980: great looking from the front but unbearably thick

11,9mm thickness - lets dream on and brace yourself to see a fat chunky 16mm burger refined with some delicious deco plates and fake screws like on the BP Nautilus chronograph hahaha :D

Was a little bit shocked by the orange strap at first but realized that I'd actually prefer that model over the also newly released "more classic" version with the orange details on the dial.

And let’s not forget about this bad boy..the 5740G

Kinda busy that dial... liked the non symmetrical appearance of the 5712... too much information on this small dial... But maybe its just the fonts or their thickness that are not the best option.

Anyway - i still prefer the 5711 :D

I love everything about that dial and the 5711 dial as well. Can’t wait for the rep.

This was the Patek release that really got me excited (this and the salmon dial 5270 of course).

The Aquanaut travel time was ok but a chronograph is such a perfect complication for this watch, sporty and cool!

Fingers crossed for a rep, maybe utilising some version of the noob column wheel chronograph movement used in the new Daytona, this would be perfect for both Aquanaut and Nautilus chronographs!!

let's see if Noob is selling its new "technology"...

On watchbus it said that this year some factories have to work together which never happened before because of the circumstances of competition (maybe Noob/ JF? Or some other daughter companies from JF like V6F?) who knows what that means....

However 11,9mm in hight are freaking crazy and will be hard to achieve with some of the standard chronograph movements...

the slim A7750 from IWC/ ARF Daytona won't work because of the missing date complication, am i right?
