Aquanaut
There's been lots of discussion of the Aquanaut recently as its popularity seems to be continuing unabated. I purchased the first version, the 5060A, several years ago which has a solid back and came only with the rubber strap. When it first came out there was much debate about the dial. Some referred to it as a "tire tread". But it carried through the pattern on the strap to make it look integrated, and therefore had a reason to be. Subsequently a bracelet was offered, but the dial was never changed. I'm curious to know whether you think Patek should now release new models using a different dial design, and if so, what that design should be.
