Nah. This looks like a calatrava that's trying too hard to be an Aquanaut. I don't think the Calatrava is never going to be "cool", nor should it try to be. I don't at all hate the collection but if I want something that looks like the shown watch I'd get an Aquanaut or more likely a Rolex on an Oysterflex.
This or the AP is what I’m reading. And I’d take the AP
Don't like black dials or numerical indices that suddenly flip their radial orientation.
Yes, but because I dislike it less than the other two..
Nop, you can get this model pre-owned for a lower price.

That's right. Go pre-owned.
I’d buy a Calatrava instead for 20ish
It is a yes for me. If I had that money for it that is.
Yep

Sure go ahead to patek and buy an aquanaut

I am not sure what to make of this comment because I can't do that, obviously, thus the Oysterflex inclusion in the statement. Does that mean I have no right to criticise? Yeah, maybe... but you did ask by making a poll of it on a public forum. In fact, I doubt Patek Philippe, as things stand in the current market, would sell me a glass of tap water let alone any of their watches and for that reason I am not drawn to them. It is perhaps also why I don't like any of their newly released models.
I am not kidding myself. If I was financially more successful and willing to spend more money, and thus worthy of their "club", I might feel differently... or maybe I wouldn't, hard to say. As much as I would like to think that I can judge a watch for what it is, there is certainly a chance that whatever PP came out in the current climate would cause an equal reaction on my end and I am just looking for justification within the product instead.
So, should you care what I think? No, I don't think you should. But, for reasons unknow to me, you sampled the internet so you get my actual opinion along with my best guess for why I feel that way. Perhaps next time add that you only seek comments from people who like the watch, or are regular participants in that market 😉
