3K Aquanaut review

[nobigdeal2010]

I emailed to Andrew at trusty and he said he could get one for me. I honestly have not seen one on the forum of any factories green rubber bracelet so I can’t attest to the accuracy.

Color looks too green to me but could always be the lighting

On ordering with Andrew @ Trusty, has anyone recently got their QCs from him yet? I've been waiting 5 weeks now for the 3K.. seems a bit on the long side as others in this thread got theirs ~3 weeks

I got mine in 2 days back in April. There must be different batches from the start of May and onward.

For those that need to replace 3K's terrible rubber strap or you need a strap because you got the stainless steel version (w/o the gold engravings) - I have a spare ZF strap and extra clasp I can sell. If interested, please PM me. I sourced a gen strap for my 5167 but TBH the difference in quality is pretty negligible. Comparison of gen vs. ZF below.

Sounds good, but remember, all sales go trough the M2M sales section

Will do, thanks for the reminder!

Just received it and I must say that the date font is even worst in real than on pictures, I remember reading that SpongeBob was working on a replacement DW, do someone have any news about that ?

Otherwise once the strap and buckle changed it is an overall nice watch but I'm not sure I can live with this date.

have you checked in with your TD yet? Could you order get lost?

Patience is an essential virtue in this game.

Yep, followed him up yesterday, awaiting a reply. Haven't had QC pics yet, so, can't be 'lost in transit'
Oh well, be more enjoyable when it arrives haha.

I bought mine on a bracelet. This is because stupidly for some reason all of the non bracelet SS models have gold markings in the lug backs , the bracelet version doesn't. I hate bracelets , so put it straight on rubber when it arrived .

Are there any pictures of the aforementioned 'gold markings in the lug backs'? Does this make the rubber strap version not worth getting at all?

It will cost you probably 150 USD to get the additional strap and clasp if you want to keep it on rubber but don't want these marks. Alternatively you can consider that these marks being on the inner side of the watch will never be seen by anybody else than yourself. Your choice

Thanks for the response!

Does anyone have any pictures of the gold markings so I know if they are bearable?

There are some earlier in this thread if I recall

I guess I at first have never noticed there were gold marking. When I noticed them after a few months of wearing, the gold already peeled, leaving just some minuscule engraving
