[TKS factory] Patek Philippe Aquanaut 5968A-001

[tosoboso]

Guys, all jokes aside, you realise that the gen is 12mm thick (11.9 to be precise). The gen movement is 6.63mm high, meaning that this little fellow here is actually a pretty good candidate for a well proportioned rep, especially knowing that OMF have achieved a feast in itself where the datewheel is not sunken and the 6 o’clock subdial is the only working chrono mechanism (just like ARF’s daytona). So we may for once have a not too bad chronograph based on the disliked A7750

Just bug ZF or JF - puretime, Sir?)

Shape of the case look more like AP Royal Oak than Aquanaut.

Looks like a fitbit blaze.

wtf is this...

 

[Fat Dave]

wow wow wow.

What they got right:
- colour scheme is basically accurate
- orange ticks on the dial are of a pretty reasonable shape and layout.

What they got wrong:
- every other thing

The dial, the brand printing, the markers, the numerals, the hands, the datewheel, the case shape, the subdial shape... not even close.

I mean, it looks like it was built based on someone describing what the gen looked like over the phone. By someone that said "PAT EK PHILIPPE", apparently.

That would be epic. Imagine a Calatrava Submersible.

I can see that. 48mm Gondolo, manual wind, 18mm thick, lol. Obviously priced at $52,000 or so.
