Although I have a 5711 and I'm waiting for a 5980/1r, I still don't think that the Nautilus is the pinnacle of watchmaking or some kind of horological genius.
They're nice.
And the 5711 was especially nice at some £18,200 or so, list, that I paid for it in 2017. I mean a rose gold Daytona on a strap was more or less the same price - so why not?
But I've said it before and I'll say it again, these Nautilus watches are nice but just not THAT nice.
If you compare some of the timeless style, complication and engineering that goes into something like a 5270/5370 and so on - it's another planet.
This hype will lessen. They may still go for "overs" in the secondary market but eventually the social media losers will move onto something even better suited to signalling status.
