wisrep2010 Posted May 8, 2010 Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 I just received a PP Aquanaut Jumbo V2 from Joshua - Overall I am very impressed with the watch, unfortunately there are 2 little nicks in the bezel from pressing in the crystal - at least that's what I assume. The movement seems to be a Sellita SW200 and not as advertised an ETA 2824 - not that it matters since the Sellita is a Swiss Movement and a clone of the 2824 :-) Here are some quick pictures that I just took - sorry forgot to remove the movement sticker on the back ;-) And here are some wristshots and pictures taking outside :-) cheers WisRep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krpster Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 Pretty! Your judgment is correct concerning the movement, still very nice though. SW is a solid movement. Enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear you - I am also used to wearing bigger watches - but the PP is actually perfect in 40mm, I don't think it would look good any bigger than it is :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nakortheblue Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 I have the MBW version. This is one 40mm watch which fits me to a T, which speaks volumes on the original Patek design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeff g Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 Nice photos of a fabulous watch. I too own an Aquanaut, and I love the size. IMO it is close to the perfect watch for daily wear. Super comfortable and light weight. A Genta design, and classic looks. Wear it well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Horologium Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 I Definitely have to agree ! Very nice watch and very nice pictures. Any of you guys know how this version compares to the MBK version ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flilow06 Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 (edited) I have the MBW version. This is one 40mm watch which fits me to a T, which speaks volumes on the original Patek design. The MBW is not a jumbo, it's the 38mm. I get so confused with PP sizes. Some say they measure their watches diagonally instead of across (I think?) actually making what they call 40mm, a 42mm compared to the standard. This makes sense as everyone seems to believe the "40mm" is large enough... Awesome watch btw! Edited May 10, 2010 by flilow06 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As i asked my dealer regarding the Sellita in the V2 Parek Aquanaut he told me the factory can swap it with the movement from this Tag rep instead (supposed to be a Swiss ETA). Would you do it - or stick with the Sellita ? Thanks !! Edited May 24, 2010 by et-roni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no reason to switch from Sellita to ETA in particular considering the the Swiss ETA you will get will likely be of the lowest ETA quality + the Sellita's finish is actually nicer than ETA's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybertek Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 The pics looks really sharp and well shot.. but am I the only one that sees some chips in the slots on the caseback where the wrench goes. I realize $400 bucks is a lot less than the 15-25k for the real one. Is it unrealistic to expect something a little closer to perfection? My friend just bought the real thing.. and I wanted to get one to bust his balls a little for spending what he did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
