Papa stern would be ashamed to see where the company is heading.
Papa Stern is still alive ;-)

I can't blame you as I've made the exact same mistake before

Yeah, FHB sincerely believed in the product and the vision even with all the backlash. TS response is really immature and leads to a company culture that doubles down on their mistakes instead of trying to improve.

The code has gotten an update nearly every year since release to make it an amazing watch that can stand next to the Royal Oak. I highly doubt Patek will iterate on the cubitus in any meaningful way.

Code will never be royal oak in near future but the potential is huge. The biggest problem with RO is that there are so many of them that Code is starting to be something different and really cool. Looking to biy first one myself, they just ended up in trap and inflated price idiotically, I mean 20+k for basic steel model but grey is viable option.

40k for an entry level 3-hand steel Cubitus makes the Code look like a bargain to me.
