The Aquanaut has a better case design and is cheaper... Either way I'd rather have a World Timer 5230P in platinum for way less than a steel Nautilus, and still have enough money left over to buy a Submariner or GMT Master and more
Congrats, love Panerai, I have the Luminor PAM1313 44mm. When I first bought it I went nuts on straps, they are so fun to strap swap and so easy. I bought a couple OEM straps and extra thumbnail bucks which are really expensive and really nice...
One of the best straps that I wear the most with it is DaLuca, they make 2 peice NATO straps that are so rad and US made, I probably have over 10 in different colors, they are like $35 but so much better than the cheap Chinese $10 ones.
I always hear people whining about the 30m water resistance on the Luminor Due, but that's all BS, your not gonna dive in it but you totally could. Panerai tests every watch to triple it's rated depth, so 30 meters is plenty for anything you would ever do including beach and swimming.
