PP Jumbo Aquanaut? Any problems

[cincinnatipaul]

Going to check out a 2007 Aquanaut, haven't found many comments about it online, save one fellow who said it was JUNK, kept lousy time, stopped working, three month repair time. Is it an inferior watch for the money. In general, are low end models from high end companies a waste of time. This may be the pinnacle of my watch buying and I don't want to waste the cash on something that looks great to me but is a problem to own. Thanks

there may be some problems with the other guy's watch but honestlyits not a general rule with such a high-class manufacture...PP watches are very well made and I am sure your experience will be very good :) the lowest end of PP in most cases is still higher than 90% of the companie's higher end...dont worry about such things :)

I believe you meant 5167. I have one with a rubber strap and its a GREAT watch. I wore it at all occasion and it always rises to it. I'll admit that it is very different from your normal PP but PP's intention with 5167 is to depart from the norm. But it has done it so well that it stand with a class of it own. The movement was effortless and very very accurate (I have 3 Rolexes and it puts them to shame). Value for money (no pun intended). In some market, it is very hard to come by and they sell it for full retail price. Much sort after.
