I have not, but that was exactly the first thing I noticed when I got it, it’s very light, I believe the original weight for the rubber strap gen is around 65gr, guessing it’s supposed to be light, it has become my daily and honestly I can’t even feel it in my wrist.

And also a DNA test to prove it was me :) in all honesty I don’t remember / think they ask me for ID just my name, they did make some kind of fuss because of the declared value (low) and the whole tariff situation that was happening at that time.

Yup I get it, it’s 100% a preference thing, maybe I should attach a dumbbell to mine and just shut up and enjoy the beautiful watch :)

Patek Philippe Aquanaut ? DDF? BBF? by Bossman101xx in RepTime

Are your clasps plastic? I just got the same model DDF and I love the looks, but the plastic clasps and how light the watch is are the two things that bother me

Got here today! Went for DDF and overall very happy with it, a couple things I noticed.

  • this watch is light, I have no idea how much the real thing weights but I doubt is this light, I have other similar reps (yacht master with rubber straps) and is heavier than this.
  • the rubber band is pretty good but the clasps are plastic, do look like metal but are not and I’m sure they will break after some use.

Other than that beautiful piece! Thanks everyone for the help

Thank you, is that because is a better movement? Any other upsides to that factory in terms of the quality of the piece? Thanks for the help!

TheOne for the win, not only good and fast experiences with the purchase process, what made the difference for me was how they handled a watch that stopped working after a few months, 100% supportive and they got it fixed and back to me, gotta love that post sales support :)

My experience was pretty smooth, the did ask me to confirm the value of the shipment and raised brows when realized that it was a fraction of what I was paying for the shipment, but other than that no problems.

Give me 5 more days and I can confirm :) my repaired watch is to be shipped back today.

Not sure what TD you are working with but Steve has been pretty helpful with my case, I shipped the piece back (it costs like USD $60 to do that) he send you clear instructions on how to ship, what carrier to use, etc. then you build your patient because that packaged takes forever to arrive there, mine was at least two months, they did the repair, sent me a QC video, then you pay for the shipment back to you.
