Does anyone have a exact measure of the thickness of the watch? Such as a in hand measure? I’ve seen some QC pics stating it as 9mm or 8.8mm and around those figures which doesn’t align with the original factory pictures from this thread

Ah thank you! So not far off gen then! Do you have any pictures at all? I wonder what the reason for all this variation is ?

Variation in thickness like 8.4mm instead of 8.7mm or so for example ?

Two reasons : measurements accuracy (you can easily squeeze 1mm or more with a vernier caliper, not necessarily because of the operator but also the tool itself, ) ; machining tolerances, even the gen suffer the same variations, but they don't care lol, only us rep guys are obsessed with such details

Ahhh you a gentleman and scholar, I wouldn’t have considered the equipment being the issue.

We do seem to care more about that level of “perfection” don’t we!

I decided to order the ss but with a rubber bracelet. Eventually i'd like to get a green rubber one on it as I think the green/black combo looks great. Anyways here are my QC backs from Andrew. Currently awaiting shipment. A few of the QC pics.

How bracelet close to this genuine https://www.chrono24.com/patekphilippe/braceletstrap-aquanaut-bracelet-5167--id9985312.htm

Well, the price difference should tell you something :D:D I think the gen is overpriced but having compared a gen Nautilus bracelet with PF Rep - the gen has no sharp edges (chamfering is amazing), midlink mirror like polish is superior, bracelet is buttery smooth when it folds/adjusts to the contour of wrist and finally the clasp logo finish is top notch and fold/unfold is effortless.

Hi Guys, did someone of you tried to change the datawheel of the 3K Aquanaut? If yes, could you suggest me a datawheel in order to fix the flaw of the 3K?
many thanks!
