I’ve been a fan since the launch and I’ve only gotten more excited about it. I’m expecting an early one. I would say the platinum is my number one, two tone is second and green is third. I’d be happy with any of them.
I like the platinum because I think it looks great, I think the dial layout is neat, and have they ever done a platinum nautilus or aquanaut?

Sure there was a platinum 5711, actually two of them, the 40th anniversary one with diamonds and tombstone on the dial and the rare "standard" one which had never made it into the catalogue. There are also a few platinum 3700 out there and there was a platinum 3800 which shows up for sale quite regularly.

The dislike is not about the watch itself.

It is about setting expectations for your first new model in 25 years sky high and then trying to sell a slightly more square Nautilus with a silly new name as a totally new watch and the best they managed to come up with after 4 years of work. SMH

Had they released the same watch simply as a new (square) Nautilus without all the build up and fanfare people would be more forgiving.

I would have found it interesting if they had launched the same square watch w/o the Nautilus ears, a new dial pattern, and possibly a new bracelet. But all they dared to do was making the Nautilus a little more square. Same brushed bezel, same ears, same dial, same bracelet, same round movement in the three handers.

+1

It's the worst release ever - worse than the Code

Were you at the Patek event yesterday held by your local AD, all 3 were on show.

My vote is for the Pt on a strap, prior to trying them on I was expecting to prefer the SS

Looks just as tragic as I imagined on those 6 inch Insta wrists.

Very hard pass.
