Nautilus aren't really that big of a case, they're 40mm? The Santos you wanted are a lot bigger than those PP.

If you want any watch coated in PVD/DLC, you're much better off buying a grey market or used watch and paying to have it coated by a third party...there are a couple of 'boutique' DLC watch re-sellers (Bamford is one) and they are horribly marked up.

Love those Lange pics...and I clicked my way onto the European-model Memovox Deep Sea, damn good looking, I need to start saving $10.5k:

Then again, Patek makes quartz watches - who would know enough to buy a Patek and then go and buy a quartz is beyond me.


This is exactly the kind of thing my aunt would do, and she did.

The AP is 39mm and the Pateks are 40-40,8mm, so they are actually small by modern standards, Hublot are 45mm and up, from what I remember.

The Patek designs are really a like it or not kind of thing, you have to like square watches, to like them, personally I love them.

I have never been a fan of AP's, I would rather have a Vacheron Constantin Overseas instead. It has the same movement and is better look, but for some reason I like the black AP.
