Right, and it’s the same lesson here. Verdict first: ask for a side photo, always.

- **Thickness** : the genuine case is notably slim. A rep that’s even slightly thicker looks taller on the wrist, especially on a strap.
- **Bezel shape** : the rounded octagon should look soft, not faceted or flattened on the sides.
- **Crown** : should sit snugly between the case flanks.
- **Finishing** : brushed and polished surfaces should meet in clean lines.

How integrated designs wear in general is covered in the [Royal Oak and Nautilus wristshot thread](https://superreps.net/t/integrated-bracelet-on-the-wrist-royal-oak-nautilus-37-39-41-mm/342), and the Aquanaut follows the same logic.
