Which white gold Aquanaut is more thought after the most blue or the khaki

I think they’re about the same, with the market tiebreaker going to the Green dial one. I’ve seen them both extensively at a boutique. They are both great. I am really hoping I can get the Green. In part, depends on preference for matte versus gradient dial.

What do you mean matte versus gradient dial

Do they have different finishing ,I mean do the blue dial have a different finishing from the khaki

The green dial is flat matte, which I personally love. The blue dial is more of an ombré dial that is darker at the edges (almost black) and then has more of a blue sunburst look (as opposed to a flat matte).

So you were speaking about the dial not the finishing of the case

Yes, that’s correct. Exact same case.

Good to know, I hadn’t really noticed this in pictures

Tried on my buddies green one this week. Pretty cool. Haven’t seen the blue but I’d probably go blue.
Made me like my orange even more to be honest.

Neither color by my eye.

To me, glacier ice has both beat.

I think about them both often

Glacier ice is the clear winner.

Since you tried both of them @APhound (chronograph & non chronograph versions of Aquanaut)

How do you describe the difference in size & thickness between them

Don’t know about sought after, but I went with the Blue 5168 and absolutely love it. Was worried about the diameter initially, but the overall design of the case makes it work..

I’d say the chrono wears a lot bigger. The base model seems very flat on the wrist- not saying that in a bad way- just competitively.. I’m used to bigger watches and my friend who has the 5168 likes smaller watches and he’s very happy with it. The 5968 doesn’t have that flat feeling to it

Thank you for the clarification

Both are hot, but the blue seems to edge out slightly in popularity. Either way, you can’t go wrong—just depends on your style!
