Incoming Aqua 5065!

Not the most popular, but I am really really pleased with this reference.



I have come very close to buying it a few times this year, but finally took the plunge yesterday.



Condition looked excellent, the patina was very striking, I simply could not resist.

I did not like the bracelet through the pictures I always saw, however in the flesh I must say it is growing on me. Came with a rubber strap as well, however I will probably wear it on the bracelet for a while longer before changing it up.



Hope you guys like it! Thanks for looking, and have a nice weekend.

Awesome watch, love that dial and I also agree with others that this bracelet looks much better than the one from the 5167

Prices for these are only going one way - it seems like it is virtually impossible to find them for sale

This one was sold in 99, and yes it is tritium.
The lume fades relatively quick once shined with a UV.
I am not sure what the cutoff is, have been trying to look more into it.
Recently asked another owner, and his was luminova, from 2000s.
