Well, if I would ever sell my house... it would be for this

An interesting point, Mark...

...maybe I do not like this case shape as I have never been a fan of GG's designs!!!

don't think so...

The AP RO and IWC Ingenieur are nice, but just aren't a suitable replacement of a Nautilus... so I guess I'll stick to writing about it. Wearing seems no option until I win the lottery.

Monochrome I'm sure you also do like

IWC's Ingenieur and AP's Royal Oak then ?

Like it... a lot!

And thanx for the explanation Mark :D

I also like this new Patek and hate them (the company) for limiting it, overpricing it and not bringing it to my door (or local dealer). I was prepared to sell a kidney, but that isn't enough with the current street price for kidneys.

The looks of it are just awesome and I dare say this is one of the most beautiful, timeless Patek's I've ever seen.
Maybe my ancestors (the square heads) are also responsable for being madly in love with the Nautilus 5980.

LOL

LOL, Dzie crazy French have no taste at all >:D<

This is logical Alberto

You're more from the Latin part of Europe while Bruno and I are from the Teutonic part.

I always refer to my ancestors as "square heads" and this must be the thing which makes me like that shape.

Humm, not sure I would follow you on that one...

Humm, not sure I would follow you on that one... If I had to sell my house to buy a Patek watch (which I probably would have to do, given the ones I would want!), it would not be for that one. Don't get me wrong, it's very nice, but I have never been a fan of that case shape/lug combination. It looks too "stamped out" to me...

I'd queue up with you Bruno for that one

Have you ever thought of starting a B&B ?
True, it needs a lot of guests until you cash in what you need for that one but it is a beginning.
I'd be a potential client B)-.
