If it’s a quartz like the FPJ I’d be down for that

possibly disconnected from this cubitus launch (but maybe not) i feel that PP pieces lower than 100K usd are—-hmmm- i have to be careful now- not a native english speaker - insignificant. it starts to get interesting beyond 100K. this comes from someone who owns 10+ PP lower than threshold:::))

Came here to say this as I just read this article from Revolution Watch - all still speculation though.

PP could try to get it featured on the comedy tv series Dubai Bling. Lots of marketing opportunities on that series.

I’ve been speculating that it might be quartz ever since Stern said it would be a cheaper, introductory line. That would be a freaking disgrace, but I think that’s the only way the Cubitus may become a “first Patek” as opposed to another unobtainable sports line. Ugh. |

That was a good read, thanks! Yeah I noticed that Revolution tend to have these "prediction" articles a few days before any official announcements and it does turn out they are mostly accurate. No doubt here too I bet |

Assuredly some journalists/publications have already been given the inside scoop. They gotta press the button on the 17th to publish those articles (or really PR communications) asap.

It's funny to think of Stern running Rolex like Wilsdorf, creating a less-expensive brand called Cubitus (a la Tudor). Then we'd be seeing lots of Cubitus models coming out, maybe a cobranding with SpaceX, and lots of brand ambassadors, too. Imagine the Boutique only Bronze Cubitus... |

Not a bad take actually. If they make this quartz and affordable per Patek standards this will see a resurgence of high-end quartz. Really curious if Rolex would be bringing back the Oysterquartz then. If it's and around 20-25k, this is going to break the internet.
I have a Quartz GS and love it. Don't love the design based on the pictures, but who knows how this is going to look in the flesh. Quartz would actually be a very TS thing to do. |

Pateks sell to me because of the design, mechanisms, quality, and then the high horological brand reputation with guaranteed repairability forever.
A quartz in gold - 5269R - at 30k is taking the p along with the pod IMO. I am not against quartz but that is not why I buy PPs. Agree the £100k + PPs are divine but when could I wear one without employing a security guard and chauffeur? Slightly above my wallet’s capacity. Pateks sell to me because of the design, mechanisms, quality, and then the high horological brand reputation. I also prefer the stealth wealth watches. Showboating is not for me whichever pop star wears one that’s a turn-off. I do lust after the 5178G but … |

If reputation factor is of concern, I think there is nothing to worry about the probablity of Cubitus being quartz. Any person who judges people by their watch would have to assume the possibility that a person rocking a Cubitus wears the watch, not because he can only afford a cheap quartz model, but because he has a substantial spending history with a Patek AD, probably including a grand comp.

The quartz argument is well reasoned.
For me personally that’s a nonstarter. Once upon a time ~1988, I was excited to wear my “good” watch for a special occasion. Sadly the battery was dead on my precious quartz watch and I decided at that moment that I would only buy a mechanical/automatic watch moving forward. I have never looked back.

If quartz I'd find the effort a little less lazy but the rest remains a slightly more square strap Nautilus. Not pretty in my eyes but I don't like the Santos either.
