Hehehe, "uncool charm" -

Do the 5066 and 5065 have dials of the same size?

I love these old ones.

Charming original Aquanauts.

I think these look better than the Nautilus

After having owned a Nautilus, I kinda regret I didn’t get the Aquanaut instead. That is a beauty and I kinda like that older style bracelet.

Lovely duo ! You should be
