Pp Aquanaut travel time 5164A incoming

[Nivka]

Actually the skeleton hand is the home time and the solid hand is GMT (because you can move the latter with the pushers at 8 and 10)

Hmmm, I know what you mean but I would still call the white skeleton hand the GMT hand: the movement works in a similar way to Rolex' (true GMT) and also in that case the GMT hand is the "other" one not the regular hour hand, even though the latter can be moved indipendently

Found the pics posted by reppists in this non-TD website. PLEASE BE AWARE THIS IS A NON-TD AND SUSPECTED SCAM SITE, BUY AT YOUR OWN RISK:

Factory appears to be MP (same one as the green Aquanaut which recently came out), price is on the steep side, but again this is not-TD so probably with TDs price will be cheaper.

Unfortunately still no info on thickness...

 

[damocles]

any follow up on this? when is it releasing?

btw the blue dial doesnt seem to exist, they only have the skeleton blue dial

Blue dial is fantasy. I'd say if a non-td has it already, it must be a matter of days until our TDs have it as well

I hope they, MP, release other aquanauts, with less complication and more accurate thickness.
geen one is nice but those CG are totally messed up and travel time looks as thick as AP Diver. It has pretty accurate dial.
Im waiting to see more releases from this factory.

Other non-TD has it listed as 12.5 mm thick, which would make it around 2mm thicker than gen...

[mskwatch]

still not bad, considering you don't see the gen around often

Looks good but thickness is a deal killer for me.
This looks as thick as JF AP Diver.

Yup. I would rather take an undecorated movement and shave off 0.5-1mm.

Tim (Fat Panda) has this on his site (he is a TD here IIRC). It looks really good, I'm tempted

5164 is a stunning piece, gen that is.

This rep looks very thick and the crown is like a penis sticking out.

I'd rather have a non-working traveltime function and a slim(mer) case...

Agreed. I don't understand why they try to rep the complications et al and deco movements. Give me a basic albeit thinner piece any day of the week.

It's out also with TS watch:

Now I'm a bit confused: they say it's a Miyota 9015 (not an asian lowbeat like Tim wrote) and that the white skeleton hand is actually a power reserve indicator??

Im in the market for an Aquanaut and really love the gen version of this watch. But this version of the rep is not cutting it for me. Way too thick, the case finish/crown guards are wrong and missing the date pusher. Personally I am sticking with the normal Aquanaut for now. Hopefully another factory will give it a try down the road.

Same here. Case is way out of proportion. Too many flaws.

Also Trusty has it, and now it's 10mm thickness, LOL

Gen is 10.2mm, I highly doubt this is 10mm....
Thickness is one thing, but that crown is sticking out like crazy!

 

[The Rod]

Trusty has uploaded also the video (see link above)...I find quite strange that he would state thickness at 10mm if the watch is actually 12.5mm or thicker. For all I know he has always been quite precise with the measurements, maybe 0.5mm here and there, but not 2.5 freaking millimiters!

It is also clear from the video that the skeleton hour hand is actually a power reserve indicator, so there is no GMT function at all . I am guessing the pushers do nothing.

I guess the trade-off was between a movement with GMT hand and fake date at 6 o'clock and fake GMT with working date...probably the right choice
