No worries, to each his own. That being said I am amazingly unimpressed by Patek's current offerings. All they did was look at all models and reissue them. Where is the innovation? Where is the modernism? I feel as if they simply copied what Roger Dubuis tried to do 15 years ago, but are doing it now, with a different market (read: economy) that isn't willing to pay for such offerings (the current price tags for Patek's, to say nothing of most of the industry has gotten insanely out of hand).

The original Patek Nautilus and the Royal Oak were both designed by the same guy - Gerald Genta.

Indeed, although I agree that it looks better like this:



The Nautilus design isn't really meant to work as an overly complicated watch, especially a chronograph, which is painfully evident by the incredibly awkward pushers.

Blue face perhaps.., the rest are unimpressive overall.

I'm a PP fan, but the Nautilus watches don't excite me at all, they never have.
