Any Pics Of Aquanauts With Wear?
All the torture with these beautiful incoming 5167a's has me wondering what a well-loved/ scratched up/ worn Aquanaut looks like.
Now I accept that most owners are fairly careful with their $20k wrist adornments, but I have seen such 5711's. And honestly a worn and scratched 5711 is not a pretty sight in my opinion. Does a worn and scratched Aquanaut look as bad as that 5711 I saw? |

I have hairline swirls on my clasp but that's about it so far. Only had it a few months though. Seems they would be impossible to avoid.
I never understood the whole wrist awareness thing until I bought my first patek (5167). Now when I wear it, I magically keep my wrist in line and have been able to avoid the pitfalls of walking around like a chimpanzee. ![]() |

From Hodinkee (watch belongs to Alen Maleh). I think Aquanauts look amazing worn in. A true tool watch.

I learned about 8 yrs ago to turn the face of my watch against my hip going through doorways, its 2nd nature now.

+1. Wrist awareness comes with practice. Then I went back to the chimp walk

Doorways can be lethal for your watch.

If you wear it you will get scratches on it. The hardest one to deal with is the first one. Those doorways are lethal!!

This one is one year old and I love wearing it a lot. I thought when I dropped it I dinged the edge of the bezel near 12, now I can not see it!

Same here, as well as when you are in a crowd, the potential shock with another person's watch is quite high, it's probably even worse than doorways...
