Thanks mate I thought so too, was really wondering if it was me going crazy or....
Well they did make a full yellow gold a few years back, not sure if it was under the 5711 ref though. About it coming back you are sure? I know that AP launched a few RO in YG, not sure though if other brands are doing the same, I prefer white metals, and like RG, because it is quite a soft color, I find YG too bright for my taste, it seems I prefer it more on strap watches than on bracelet ones, just too much yellow on bracelet ones for my tastes

Some people act like children and post the same way. The victim mentality is alive and well. More people should take advantage of this feature (please use it on me as well) and drown out any excess noise if your daily read of TRF.

Martin I appreciate your actual insight and comments, as you are a real Patek advocate and owner. You may get snarky comments from some here, but applaud you for taking the high road...Bravo.

Back to Patek talk...hopefully....
So this is clearly the way to go for the guys who cannot stand other's peoples' posts, and what is worse cannot refrain themselves from answering to them, I just ignore the posts I find stupid and certainly don't respond to them, but I do when I am attacked, this is for me the high way, different values... About the victim mentality is there a bully one as well?
In any case this forum is a great place to be and like you all know, you can't please everyone in life, except if you stay in your corner and shut your mouth

There is a much better one in your head, the same function which permits you to either read and ignore, or just ignore, I thought we all had this function

To clarify further, some Chinese are not offended by what is not offensive at all.

Dude, go get help, really, this is so stupid I won't even dignify any other answer than this, I couldn't have even imagined that you were thinking about this, and no one, whatever the nationality could have imagined, and it clearly isn't an understanding problem as you clearly speak english just fine, try to think about it and give us the answer in 2017...

So no more posts for 2016? Quota fulfilled? See you in 2017

You're not? You should be, it was terribly insulting
Can't believe he was talking about this, would never have guessed in a million years, same for you I am sure

Ok I think I'll help you with this one, instead of being offended you should feel proud as what I said should be taken as a compliment and not an insult.

I speak to him in english and he doesn't understand, thus the "am I speaking chinese?" Chinese as far as I know is the hardest language on earth, thus apart the chinese themselves very few people speak it as it is incredibly difficult to learn, so instead of taking it in an offended way, or neutral, you should take it as it really is, a compliment. It is very often used in France in this context, and not at all in a way saying that chinese and their language are barbarians or something like that, but exactly the contrary, quite strange that you saw there something offensive or some kind of racism, even in France there is absolutely no anti chinese or asian racism, really, anti black, arab, jew, yes there can be, there are idiots everywhere and we also have our lot of them in france, but never heard of any anti chinese racism, some people are jealous because more and more businesses are owned by chinese people, who buy them from french owners, I say good for them if they work hard, it just shows that with hard work anything is possible, but some people are jealous, but without any kind of racism coming out of this...

Chinese history and culture is something enormous, and like is often the case, civilizations which have been very complex have a very complex language, I really didn't think it was possible to take this in a bad way as thinking about it just a little, or even not at all made it very clear that at the very least this was not offensive

Lapince, I don't think a response is needed to justify what was clearly a non-race related statement. The forum will be a much less enjoyable place if we tolerate, or worse, entertain hyper-sensitivity.

Btw, i'm a 'minority' too.

Let's get back to the new proposed nautilus line shall we?

I know, I was just explaining him I know a response wasn't needed, but I don't like people to be mad or injured about something when they didn't understand, even if all the others did the word minority is very relative, wether the context is a country or the planet

Yes it would be nice to get back just to watches, not sure it will be possible one day but there is hope

I think my post on the RM 35 threads applies equally here. Let's close this and move on.

Oh I agree totally Roger, on one side I won't be attacked by Paul and Martin anymore, since they put my posts on ignore, that should be nice, couldn't say a word without being put on trial as another member put it, the only problem is that it continues, but with other members, we have one RM cult fanatic, and one Patek cult fanatic, no need to say which one is which, and there are a few others, unbelievable, PEOPLE if you find a thread or posts stupid, fine, you have the right of opinion, just don't read them or at least don't answer, what is this becoming, Georgetown or Scientology???

Just been invited to a PP event sometime in September with details to follow. Considering I was at one 2 weeks ago that seems to be forward planning or can I add fuel to the conspiracy???

September is the expected month in which the 40th Anniversary model(s) will be revealed.

Same here, but I received a first information about an event in September from my AD already a few days before he went to Baselworld. The premilinary agenda didnīt show Nautilus specific content back then, though.

That's very cool Karl and Felix, I hope you can download a few pics on TRF directly from the party or when you arrive home, would really LOVE to know as quickly as possible what are the new models, would love to see as soon as possible if there is a good one, and Karl you need a Nautilus to go with your awesome PP's.

When is the event? To see if you have the same date, and in what places, or place if it's the same?

I hope the 40th anniversary will bring at least one:

(1) skeleton 5711

(2) perpetual calendar similar to the 5726 but with a date counter instead of the 24 hr and no date window

Rumor: been told "it" will be delivered in october. It, meaning one new piece. No details on price or "what" it is, however my guy knew and absolutely wouldn't tell me (good for him)....but I'm personally thinking blue face white gold 5711, a la 3700, possibly with no running seconds hand. Will be allocated to "friends of the brand" but have no further info, such as if it will be "limited by number."

Skeleton 5711 would be cool, don't really care for calendar watches as when I had one, the 5726, I had no use for the calendar...

Anyways up to this point no use over thinking it, I think we won't get it right, of course one of the theories we have seen here will come true, but which one...

Lapince- agreed, completely. Just relating to the community what I was told...and fwiw, I hope my prediction is wrong because I would like something more "interesting or functional," like a skeleton, or a better clasp.

20th anniversary of AC was a new dial colour and breguet numerals. Have to be honest that a 40th anniversary Nautilus in another metal or dial colour would just be........yawwwwn

oh and that's all I expect for a pretty uneventful milestone...not exactly 50th!!

Well AP for the 40th did make the best Jumbo ever IMO, so I would like to see something nice, will be 45 this year, in 10 years will be 55, would like to have 3-5 watches I really love and not be tempted by anything else later on, yeah maybe I'm just dreaming...

I was invited and going to an event in September in NYC, but I have been told it is a Minute Repeater event. I have not been told it has anything to do with the Nautilus unless of course it is a Nautilus Minute Repeater.

Seems like we have events all over the world in September. Not sure you would do that for a minute repeater considering the existing waiting list and number of people who can afford them
