Aquanaut 5168G Blue / Green by 3KF

The green is better than I had hoped. Not the dull creamy khaki of the gen but close.
Looks lovely. Can you take a pic of the underside/ clasp closed too if you get a chance. Thanks.

That green looks great. Might have to pull the trigger on that one as well....

Can’t wait to get my hands on that new 5712 as well. I would definitely say the 3K strap is on par with the ZF one. It has those subtle curves and feels more quality. Much better than the first 5167 strap.
Thanks mate
will post a few more tomorrow once I get the strap cut down

Very nice bro! The green dial does look good. I think if we can a solid khaki strap substitute it would really pop

Doesn’t Rubberb now make a good strap for these?

While I am very impressed by the color of strap/dial from real life pics, that obnoxious DW is killing me. Can't wait for keylog or legend project to finish sooner

Is there any noticeable rotor noise??
What's wrong with the date wheel? I mean, to me it looks pretty good. Not perfection to PP standard, but the date windows are so small anyway. Seems good enough to me.

Yeah fair enough, but doesn't seem like a deal-breaker. Anyway as you say, maybe a new date wheel mod comes out and it'll look even better. But I think I could live with that very easily.

If you don't compare to gen, this DW is decent (in fact better than their 5167 release). But given the "nit picky" LOL people we all are in this forum, it is hard to unsee the font after seeing gen pics. Anyways, I feel this release is better than their 5167 (DW, they have fixed the lume mismatch between hands and markers and the rubber quality seems improved)
Its only us who are this picky - the chances of bumping into someone wearing the gen are slim to none!

Hello to all,
here are some QC of my 3k 5168.
The numbers "11" don`t seem to be parallel and in the same hight. The right "1" seems to be a bit lower than the left "1". What do you experts think?
What I also saw is that the date of "6" is not centered in the middle of the date window to up and down. It seems to be more located to the bottom.
Otherwise I think watch ist o.k. but the position/ mismatch of the two II at 11 doesnt look very good.
