I didn't know that they let people over 50 use the internet. ?

Didn’t your Grandma tell you?
Don’t make fun of old people. If you’re lucky you’ll be one yourself one day.

I have a fake driving license that says I’m 21.

My humble submission. I can finally post here after 8 years or so of being on SF.

Don't be afraid to change the look of the watch by putting it on a strap.

I'm looking at straps as we speak!

I liked this watch until I learned the retail price. It should be competing with the GP Laureato and Chopard Alpine Eagle, not the holy trinity luxury SS sports watches.

4 out of 5 of the letters in Patek*, with the same dial positioning and colour scheme as the Nautilus, and the bracelet a hybrid between the Nautilus and AP RO bracelets (superimpose one on the other kind of thing). The hands are quite Nautilus-y. Minute and hour hand are closer to AP RO.

Well, don't change a winning formula, and all that.

* I'm aware of the history of the name and link between the two Patek founders, but this brand was "revived" in 2011 by a "marketing consultant" making the decision rather purposeful.

Agreed, not a fan of the design

Way too derivative of the APRO IMO.

@CollingsD2H congrats on the Speedy.

so the strap qualifies as conspicuous consumption but the watch doesn’t?
