Even ladies Nautilus have premium at greys?

I am looking for the new ladies Nautilus 7118/1200a and seem to have premium at grey dealers. Is that difficult to get at AD?

I bought my wife a 7118/1200R recently. The Patek salon in London said they would try to get me one this year (I asked in March I think) but no guarantee as they had people on the waitlist.

I was never going to buy from them anyway. I went to my trusted AD who sorted me out with an allocation before my wife's birthday. They did have to pull a few strings. Not easy in this market.

Same here, 7118 incoming but required some efforts from my AD especially given the limit on SS models.

Speculative bubbles are always "gone crackers."

Look at this lovely chart: https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/ar...-and-it-popped

When it was happening, everyone was saying it's not a speculative bubble. FYI, that's the key characteristic of a speculative bubble. :)

Sounds like the SS watch market to me.

See the article linked above for a famous quote from John McAfee:

Bitcoin now at $16,600.00. Those of you in the old school who believe this is a bubble simply have not understood the new mathematics of the Blockchain, or you did not cared enough to try. Bubbles are mathematically impossible in this new paradigm. So are corrections and all else...
Lovely charts (also in the article) show that this was completely wrong.

Not even close to being back up. :)

Peak was above $17k right before it burst.

We're hovering around $10k right now: https://www.coinbase.com/price/bitcoin

And when the bubble burst, it plunged to around $3.5k. Bubble burstings tend to over-correct on the negative end, so it's normal that it's improved a bit since then.

I guess not all the way back up...

Indeed. <$10k is still a painful way away from peak. That bubble bursting hurt a lot.

Males are now buying dd36, dj36 and royal oak 15450. Don’t worry it’s possible to wear the female nautilus as a male watch too. After all, one would do anything to ride on the hype train, right?

I think the DD36 and DJ36 are classic rolex proportions and are marketed to both genders...and males have always worn these watches... the trend to 41 mm was more recent. I actually like the DJ36...

The 15450...it fits me perfectly but the manager of the store told me it was a girls watch so I didn’tt buy it


As for the 7118 it’s a girls watch and is marketed as such.

The femine components of you look at the picture above.
1) wave dial
2) the 12 and the date window
3) the first polished center link goes into the case. Helps soften it...




I said it before.. one Could wear women’s underwear but should you?

Agreed it's all about marketing. I don't see what's wrong with the shape or details you mentioned above for the women's nautilus. It would be wearable by men if marketed as unisex.
