I appreciate everything about the Nautilus except the looks. I know this might upset some but Genta designs don't usually appeal to me.
Would I own one? Absolutely! In a heart beat.

But... if I had that disposable income, that would not be the watch for me.

I know, I am strange...

I feel the same way about Ferrari. Can't find a single thing wrong with them but for some reason very few appeal to me.
Did I mention that I am strange? lol

Bingo! 

However, a plain ole 5711 would be preferable for me

Those pieces really lived up to the expectations in my books! Not sure I would buy one either but they're tough not to admire!

[takuya]

is that too much? i have to wait to see them in the person first!

That Stainless 5960 is just something else! Historically as well the Stainless Patek's have become really desirable. I think if I were in that league the bracelet would be off in a heart beat and a nice strap put on in its place!

Glad someone said something that I didn't dare say.  

I am really strange though.

I'm not a fan of the Nautilus either. It's too boxy for my tastes.

OK, how about this Tudor! I reckon this is going to divert a few $$ away from potential Expy1 purchases! Love it on the Bund!

As a vintage watch wearer I love smaller cased watches, seems the watch industry is getting back to their roots and producing traditional mens sized watches again, I love it!

This is gorgeous from Longines, 35mm case, probably a movement inside that fills the case, just exquisite!

I think Longines are looking good, I think this is stunning.
