I totally agree. I think the days of any Nautilus on a leather strap are numbered. Patek may have done that originally to keep the prices down versus full PM bracelets on a "sports watch." It was one thing to have full PM bracelets on the 5711 because the total cost was still around USD $50,000 whereas the ones with complications would have been USD $65,000+. But now that prices are insane and Nautilus is the "it" watch, no need to worry about that in the future...
