Compare/Contrast: Aquadive BS100 vs. Eterna Kontiki 1973 Reissue

I own a BS100 (BTW on WUS - FS: Aquadive Bathyscaphe 100 1000m Diver on Mesh) and thinking about picking up a Kontiki.
I've not seen the Kontiki in person but was advised that it's a 1:1 match to the BS100. (Yes - No - Sort of ?)
I like the look of both divers but not so much as to want to have both in my collection. So if similar in appearance, how do their pedigrees / dive watch histories compare ?

The Tiki is a slightly larger rendition of the original, but I have no idea how it compares to the Aquadive. I would be surprised if it was 1:1.

I haven't owned either, but my understanding is the Tiki is decently larger than the AD.

Owned both and they are definitely not 1:1. The BS100 wears smaller physically and visually. The KonTiki has a much bigger presence on the wrist. Both nice pieces but very different.

I've had a look at your sales ad on WUS, as I've been looking at getting an Aquadive recently.

I don't wish to be weird, but under your signature is a list of watches, usually this means watches you own. The Eterna Kontiki 1973 Reissue is listed in your signature.
