For me it's not as much as me disliking it. It is more that it makes Thierrys statements on not just being the nautilus company a bit disingenuous. Talk about lazy design use the same dial, same strap attachment, same ears. At least do a different stamp pattern like the aquanaut did.

Not to make this an AP vs PP discussion, but I do appreciate AP's coordinated messaging (i.e. they are all-in on RO) even if it's not to one's taste. |

I share your frustration at Stern’s disingenuousness. But let’s hope PP never succumbs to AP’s model of being a one-line brand. PP still has many vibrant and distinct lines. |

That to me is what makes it even lazier. Rolex puts everything in an oyster case. AP essentially has 3 cases with the royal oak, concept and code. Patek has so many variations with clou de Paris case, shaped cases, double step lugs, triple step lugs etc etc and they recycle just about everything for this line.

Usually browse the forum without logging in but no photos, so logged in and disappointed with how this looks.
Hopefully people want this instead of a 5167A so that call comes sooner than later, only been waiting 6 years anyway.. |

Patek are trolling the watch community!
How did the wonky 8 date wheel pass QC? |

You don't see the Octo FS on a leather strap that often in pics.... yet since I am a strap whore....
Ok, not quite, yet an Octo FS with Big Date, and PP may as well forget about trying to develop a new ultra-thin movement and 100M WP.... So PP's thicker, lower WP rating.... this new release might be right up Kid Strern's modern PP's territory. Bvlgari_Octo_Finissimo_S_blue_leather.jpg PS: I still have hope that after years of me suggesting it, PP finally up-rates to modern high horology standards and launches their much-anticipated Conneseur Series on mechanical movements.

They don’t feel the need to upgrade to higher standards because their core customer base does not care about such trivial things like WR, power reserve or those stupid pushers all around the case to adjust the calendar.
