Oh wow thanks! Didn't know that could be done haha. Anyway it cost me 348USD. I have attached the website below if you're interested. I got the Undecorated movement as recommended by Godfather. I'll definitely post a wristie after receiving it and sizing it to my wrist

No Problem... I am still amazed how nice this community is. Everybody is so kind, my faith in humanity is restored ;)
Thanks for the link, really thinking about it and you Sir just got me a little closer to finally pull the trigger.

Hi, these gorgeous pictures make me want to join the bandwagon. :)
I'm considering SS version with SW200 not the RG one. Guess I'm not the golden type. I found it on toro bravos but haven't history with them. Do they ship fast to Europe ? Any experience to share ? TY mates.

5167 Aquanaut SW200 V2 from V6F factory is by far my best version, and it is what I recommend without thinking..

Toro is a great TD, he's my only one TBH. I use the EU to EU shipping, it takes a week longer, but then I don't have to worry about confiscation. go for it, you won't regret it.. the SW200 is the Aquanaut to buy, all others are not close to gen in my opinion..

Good luck mate :D

Hey mate,
Thanks for your message. Actually I didn't get any interest in this watch til I read your opening post. Tbh I didn't even consider any PP rep as I thought there weren't any good ones. So kudos to you. Speaking of Toro, how much (average) time did you wait between ordering and getting a watch ? I'd like to order right now but since I'll go abroad for holidays by the end of the month, there's a chance not being at home when it will be delivered. Man, I'd hate to leave the parcel in the mailbox during 15 days.

[MENTION=3857]Godfather[/MENTION] , would you happen to know the correct stem length on a Nautilus Jumbo sw200?

I need to do a repair but cannot find any info regarding measurements. Your help is much appreciated

^^ I definitely would update it if there was what I believe a better version out there. But I still believe it's the best version out there today.

As to keep it sticky. It's not my choice :D

Hi all,
I've bought so many reps in the years ive been a member on RWI but I've never thought of buying a Patek rep until I read this thread.
The RG 5167 looks really good but I'm swaying towards the later version with the deco plates.
The date font is a bit smaller but is this noticeable at wrist distance?

Also it looks like I'll have to source a gen brown strap as it seems the factories have stopped making it.

Lastly, is the rotor noise very loud on the 2824's v the deco plate version?

Kudos to Godfather for compiling this info....
