Gorgeous one that we don’t see so often!
Thanks for sharing; it is a gorgeous chrono that we don’t see so often. It also comes with a orange strap as well, isn’t? Jérôme
Thanks Jérôme, yes it comes with orange strap too.
but I think I will leave that for after the winter ...
Congrats on a dream piece!
Enjoy it in best of health, really a dream! Ps: would love to see some more wrist-shots when you get the opportunity as we do not see so many of these Cheers! J.
Many thanks Fab.. the London salon has always been very kind to me!
Can't fault their service and friendship..
No kidding.
Great piece. In my humble opinion this is currently one of the best configuration of the aquanaut second only to the travel time. My humble opinion of course. But getting allocated this, you must be royalty or have already spent a Royal fortune there😊
Thank you Roger... neither royalty nor spent a fortune..
They are just very nice to me like a member of their family..
Many thanks ZSHSZ!
I wanted this for a while... good things come to those who wait I guess..
Congratulations …
It certainly looks good on your wrist and I hope you make some great memories with it. Enjoy !
London’s calling…awesome piece and huge congratulations 🍾
Such calls are always welcome, any day any time 👍🏻
Big fish - congratulations!!!
Waiting for mine but I guess it will take some more months as I ordered only in June... Enjoy!
yeah, i was offered its blue wg brother in June by the AD
but declined - i just have too many blue precious metal watches. so he promised to organize the steel version, let's see... very glad for you
Good watches don't agree with me..
Too clumsy I guess.. If only they did a platinum Aquanaut ))
Lol I wish ....but there are a lot of
Pieces out there we never get to see....some not allowed for social media publication
That may be a blessing in disguise..
What the eyes don't see the heart doesn't want ;-)
Thank you! I was torn between this and the 5168G in blue...
Historically I don't get on well with gold watches and ruin them in no time... So I went with a steel one
Dear Centurione, as an humble owner of the same amazing piece, only two things:
1) enjoy at max, this is this is the best Aquanaut in the range (but unfortunately for me and my bank account… I developed in the last months a love for the 5168!!! But the green grenade…), so huge, huge congrats for the massive addiction to your already ...
Grazie mille!
I agree orange strap is lovely but summer is over and I don't want to stick out like a sore thumb in grey British weather ) As soon as we have some semblance of summer I will make the changeover
Did you give them a talking to that you wanted this at the beginning of summer not the end? Kidding!
What a great and happy surprise. It looks great on your wrist. Congratulations
Thanks again
This was the worst summer I remember in England. Let’s hope 2022 fares better 🤞🏻
You are too kind Bill 🙏🏻❤️
We do have a nice relationship and they are really lovely and accommodating at the salon, I can’t say the same about some other brands 😉
Many thanks
Quite an attractive dial for me too. Like the fact that despite being a chronograph it is uncluttered
Thanks darrony !
No, just this one. I would have loved to have paired it with the new 5711 🤣
LOL bundling with the 5711 wouljd have been
Mind blowing! Congratulations again! I absolutely love this reference
Feel so lucky to have a salon in the city where I live
Don’t think I could deal with A.D.s and their sales techniques, buying directly from PP is a wonderful experience
Agree, though honestly, from my own experience with multiple ADs (many of whom are also friends now), I was never asked or even suggested to "bundle" in order to receive certain watches...and I'm sure other folks can attest to a similar experience.
But it's true I also regularly hear reports of requests (even very explicit) to "bundle," especially from certain markets. My best suggestion has always been very simple: if a certain piece isn't available, either wait or run! ;-) To the extent it's possi...
Totally agree!
As a matter of principle I would never buy a watch on the grey market no matter how badly I want it. If it’s not available being on a waiting list is fine. After all it’s not life saving medicine , it’s just a timepiece and we have already several. Puts t...
Congrats and a warning….
If u have the orange strap fitted later, DON’T use the brown leather travel box… it bleeds color onto the back of the strap… pretty nasty! ...
Many thanks for the warning !
I never use the travel case anyway, always wear one watch at a time. Having said that this really shouldn’t happen, hope you raised the problem with them and got a replacement strap and a case 🙏🏻
5968A is an awesome watch, many congratulations
I am hoping to add either a blue or green 5968G soon
Thanks buddy! ❤️
I had dreams of owning the green Nautilus but it wasn’t meant to be . Very happy with the new addition though 🤗
One of the best aquanauts in my opinion.
The practicality, ruggedness, and don’t get me started on those chronograph hands! Many congratulations!
Thank you so much ! 🙏🏻
Ever since I had my first Aquanaut back in the late 90s I always loved it and thought it was special. Since then the reference has gone from strength to strength and I am sure that there are more surprises in store for us 🤗
