The "grey" is the black metallic dial. The one pf sells as black is like matte black , I have no idea if they ever sold it with a dial like that though

That crown is a joke.

Do you think bro?

You know I am hopeless at comparing pictures but put this together...eitherway it’s getting ordered as soon as my TD gets back to me.


The gold case is presumably gen (from internet):

Disclaimer: I have no idea if that RG case is actually gen and whether the RG case should look similar to the SS case. Also I have no idea what different CG versions exist in gen over the years

Of course the crests are not exactly the same but there is no reason for every PP crown/crest to look exactly the same.

Look at how many Rolex coronets we have seen over the years (fat coronet, thin corronet, service coronet etc)....same variations exists in all Swiss brands.

therefore there isn’t enough data/knowledge to prove beyond doubt that the rep crown/crest is not a gen variation.

The main thing is for the quality to look good and small differences here are not too important for me

Here are pics of the gen steel crown. Doesn’t look that different to my eyes.

Maybe the inner circle should be slightly bigger. Doesn’t bother me enough to prevent me from ordering one.

I don't think the crown is that much of a tell. And the dial doesn't look that bad from the first pictures; grooves look quite accurate except for the 5 and 6 o'clock marker where it's cut too far down. But I'm curious for the first QC's.

I agree.

There’s usually 5-10 crown/crest variations with most brands over the years.

Sorry but I am not going to let some of you guys scare me of this rep with hyperbole LOL

This movement and this thinness in a rep? if you don't buy it chances are you were never going to in the first place!

I can't wait for them to drop this movement in a nautilus :)

Movement is the same miyota as on the nautilus...

Real question here who’s more overpriced this zf aquanaut or the pf nautilus?

For me personally I don't see much of an upgrade from my V6F. If I didn't have one I'd probably pick one up however

It's too soon to tell without an hands on review of the ZF Aquanaut. Both are overpriced IMO, including the PF Aquanaut. The similarly priced ($478.00) PF Aquanaut will never sell now that the ZF Aquanaut is out. Look for drastically reduced prices for the PF Aquanaut.

Well it's thinner and has a much better looking movement, if this is not an upgrade...

Less than a mm does not bother me in the slightest and I don't wear the watch back to front. I couldn't care less what the movement looks like. So no, for me, not worth it
