I actually disagree but we are entitled to our opinions. I myself have a 3970 and no one can doubt movement finishing and complication. However- the finishing, concept and design of the Nautilus case and integrated bracelet is simply elegance personified. I saw a IWC Perpetual Calendar Chorograph Tourbillon in full yellow gold for $20k the other day. Are you really paying $130k for the "complication"?
To me the nautilus can be worn anywhere, anytime. It is the perfect watch.
To make steel (a much harder metal and harder to work with than PM) feel like silk on the wrist is no easy feat. To tone down the aggressive design of the Royal Oak and make an even more superior design (arguable I know) is a piece of design and horological history.
