Crystal is very clear. No need for mod. I do not like x2AR on Royal Oak because the missing crystal look is non OEM.

Every time I have had a relume, the thing comes back with scratches on hands/hour markers

Agreed, the Cristal is nice. I wouldn’t bother with mods, this is a fun watch.

One thing about this watch is it's rarity. I wanted to view more pictures and get more information so I did some searching. I checked Ali Express, DHGate, RWI TDs and RWG TDs and found absolutely nothing. The only one that came close was a model from Kuvarsit, a RWG TD. That model is probably an older model or from a different maker because the background of date is different from the one that Sead offers. So the date background, date window location, marker at 3 and Kuvarsit's price of $198.00 are the only things different that I could spot. Kuvarsit's model comes with sapphire crystal and a swiss quartz movement (Ronda) which is stated in their description.

I'm just glad that Sead found this for us.

I should ask Sead for a quartz Aquanaut.

Not a Aquanaut fan but I've actually thought about a quartz Nautilus 5711 instead. The ones I saw on DHGate are too thick and cheap looking. A properly designed Nautilus with a high stepper quartz movement would fix the thickness issue and also provide a sweep second hand.

That would be cool.

But Good thing about Aquanaut is that it’s on rubber....so it’s easier to rep than a Genta watch that is essentially designed around the integrated bracelet and associated quality.

The upcoming ZF Aquanaut should interest you then. The case design is more gen-like from what I understand and I'm sure ZF will do a better job on their rubber strap compared to what PF did on their version. Should be due out next month according to InTime.

The Aquanaut does look better on a rubber strap than the steel bracelet that they also offer.
