old thread, but i would just like to point out, the biggest tell on ALL of these Aquanaut patek rep's out there, is on the front dial. You can spot it right a way, if you know a little about the gen.
Here's a picture of a genuine Patek Philippe 5167A
The real deal would say Swiss Made at the six o'clock position, also the lume on the hour markers should be completely white, and not the greenish that the reps has.
And here's a picture of the V3 version Jumbo (why do they call it jumbo?)
where do you guys recommend for purchase these days?
Had this watch - it was a GEM - real treat however it didn't fill the void of having a nice chunky watch on the end of my arm.
Lovely for some but I sold it on as it was very slim line.
Excellent with a suit for formal occasions or dressy situations.
Diff Strokes for Diff Strokes I guess.
Thanks for Reviewing a nice piece.
