Steelman argument for the Cubitus

[L_S_SHOE]

TS can say he doesn’t want the Nautilus to be the face of Patek, but he’s kidding himself. It already is.

He stubbornly refuses to increase the production of steel watches. Instead of listening to his would-be customers, he introduces a half-baked substitute that no one asked for and will consume limited production capacity, making the Nautilus/Aquanaut even harder to get.

It’s a joke, and a slap in the face of anyone who ever wanted a Nautilus/Aquanaut.

i simply do not believe it.
IF the intent of this collection is to give if to young first time buyers...no young first time buyer will ever get that stainless steel with the green dial. they wont.

Where did he say this?

Maybe people who only want an Aquanaut/Nautilus are not the customers PP wish to acquire.

In that case, it makes sense that PP does not adapt their strategy to these persons.

Agreed. I don’t know if this is a stroke of genius from TS who didn’t want PP to be simply known as the Nautilus company, but ultimately what you say is essentially what it all boils down to.

Jedi mind trick: “You will like the Cubitus.” j/k :)
Honestly, I am liking them too. I’m just waiting for the initial picture of one on Mark Wahlberg’s wrist.
