I like black watches.

This looks cheap though.

Poor looking watch even more ruined!

The standard watch is a thing of beauty, with the contrasting finishes on the case and bracelet. This poor thing looks plastidipped.

I adore that we all have differing tastes! It looks like a rejected design for a 70's television to me... Awful, shiny, tinny, scratch-magnet that relies on a name.

Oh what have you done, J?! That might be a case of 'once seen, cannot be unseen'!

I much prefer a the oft compared other Genta classic, the Royal Oak, actually. Please don't come out with more comments on that one, please :-)

I had to do a double take. My first thought was 1980s resin cased Casio....

PP are such incredible pieces, finish is superb. Totally ruined by this finish. If you want such a watch PP is not for you!

I don't mind some DLC modified stuff. That, however, is

Edit to add that I've just noticed what regular 5711 models are currently going for.

fking Hell.

I don't like that. (I own a Patek by the way!!) /NDA

[okenemem]

not sure what to make

Looks like a 1980s watch at first glance.

I’m sure it’s very different in the flesh!

The bubble will have to burst on some PP pricing soon - mad prices.

Why?

And I hope not. One i have was purchased for £13k, its now between £40K to £50k, not bad for an 11 year "investment"

Moot really, as it's never being sold.

Bubbles generally burst when the fundamental value of the asset can no longer support the price. And some other reasons too... I am watching this happen in the vintage car market at the moment, which is going very soft.

I have a Patek that I wear every day - so I'm not bothered about it's value, but it's amusing to have seen it's price double.

The Nautilus is a very nice watch, discreet, slim, good movement, wearable... but at the current prices? Mad.

I suppose if watches are bought 'as an investment' then it's different. I buy them to wear - no other reason.

I really like it

I agree, to a degree-

I have also followed classic cars and you are right they are struggling now having gone up quickly.

Friend of mine owns a high end jewellers and i was talking to him just this Saturday.

He said he knows of plenty of collectors that still chase watches (the rare stuff) and his own turnover for watches is as good as its ever been.

I think there is a wider audience for rare watches compared to classic cars plus you don't tend to end up with nasty rust repair bills etc.

The 5711 for example has a 10yr wait list now so they have closed the books. That tells me demand is still strong.

I don't own a collection of watches btw so I've no dog in the fight....

PS a Patek blue face Double Sealed so never touched sold within 48 hrs for 70k

PPS Patek have taken the 5711 off the website now too
