swdivad Posted May 25, 2019 Report Share Posted May 25, 2019 First, I know it sounds like a "who has the best rep" question, but actually I've researched it quite heavily, as the investment is in the $5-600 range. I'm tossing up which to buy and what maker.... I've read a lot about the pros and cons of the factories and have narrowed my choice between: Patek Nautilus blue, grey, or white Daytona w/4130 clone My choice would be for the best accuracy out of the box These watches are showing great promise, and I would of course have to choose between the risk of open case back or closed I would love to just buy all of them, but need to choose only one (for now) I'm really just looking on feedback from people who have purchased recently and are as OCD as me (LOL)... and no, I will not buy a gen in the foreseeable future!

StormTooper4 Posted May 25, 2019 Report Share Posted May 25, 2019 Have you ever had a Nautilus? Theyre fantastic watched I’ve had 3 on bracelets an leather. But they just don’t work for me. I want to like them but as much as I admire their design I can’t like them as much as I thought I should. Ive got a 116519 on order let’s hope that’s a keeper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just thinking that they're a bit rich for my style, since the base nautilus goes for over $US50k on the second hand market! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legend Posted May 28, 2019 Report Share Posted May 28, 2019 The A4130 clone movement, is, IMHO, the singular best thing which happened to the hobby since it started. The movement is amazing, and just needs a full movement service/regulation to make reliable and precise. This will be my personal recommendation D.
