Godfathar's Advice On Which Is The Best Aquanaut Jumbo Out There
- Thread starter Godfathar

For the last time lol: the lack of Swiss Made on the dial is not a tell.
It has changed over the course of the years, I believe pre-2008 do not have it, post-2008 do.
If you don't believe me you should check www.patek.com/en/collection/aquanaut

No, PF aquanauts are not great. For 40mm, contenders are also ZF and KMF. There's a thread comparing them in details here, search for it it should give you all the information you need

The Blue PP Aquanaut is post 2008 and it is missing the "Swiss Made" on the PF version.
The 40mm version is the 1998 version and there are 2 stick markers at the 12'00 postion. I haven't seen a replica of this yet.
Not only is that incorrect: https://puretimewatch.io/aquanaut-5...-dial-on-blue-rubber-strap-a324-clone-v2.html
It would probably be the last tell anyone would notice anyways. PF's case and dial colour are quite far off.
I don't understand why anybody would choose PF over ZF or KMF when choosing an aquanaut.
Ok will do I am getting conflicting statements on the PF case size. I measured the Case with calipers from the 10 to 4 position and it was 42 mm and the thickness was 8.75. I checked purtime and its listed as 40mm 9.5mm thickness.

I understand that your are new, but it would be great if you did a bit more research, especially before stating things as true when they are wrong. There's people who will read what you write and get completely confused.
The 40mm is the 5167, it's the current and most common aquanaut in SS. Some have a Swiss made at 6 and some don't
The 42mm is the 5168, that's a rather new and different model, only in white gold. To my knowledge they all have a Swiss made at 6
PF is not the best choice for an aquanaut.Zf and KMF are as of today.

Thank you your are absolutely correct I will flip my PF and purchase a KMF problem solved.

The stock crystal is very close to gen spec. X2AR “missing” crystal looks far from gen spec and not in accordance with Patek design aesthetics - but if that’s what you like then PM ProfS. He should be able to help.

Instead or asking the forum (who can’t tell you what a TD can or can’t get) why don’t you contact the TDs?!?
