anton Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 Owners Rejoice! Where are your Gerald Genta-designed watches? It's like I've fallen in love again. I don't know why I can't stop wearing this watch. I keep on being mesmerized (maybe infatuated, if you will) about the fine qualities of the watch: - The way the two-case construction becomes flush when both parts come together - The finish of the brushed portions and the quality of the high-polished mirror finish - How the watch sits on you; there are no gaps within the bracelet (a flaw among too many reps) - How well-constructed the dial is: No crooked markers, superb printing, etc. - The attention paid to the details, fine lines, and contours of the watch: I've yet to find a sharp edge, rough finish, machine markings, and imperfect circles. - The lug screws are finished so much better and surprisingly, all fit flush within the bracelet links. When thinking about all this, I repeatedly ask myself how they could do all this for $450. We have our super-reps that came in the same price range, but they have the same kinds of disapointments that fall short. I still can't believe I paid $450 for it. It certainly feels like much more.

DemonSlayer Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 I need to get one of these. I regret not jumping at the chance when you had your previous 21J version for sale! It would have given me a good idea of what it feels like to wear a Nautilus. I contacted Narikaa but he only has the 'power reserve' model with the gorgeous blue dial. Anyway here is a pic of my watch which I believe was designed by Genta: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 Proud as hell of this one with its scratched hands and new date wheel, has been on my wrist just about every day since a redid the bracelet the other saterday night too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazz Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 Gerald who?? You have gotta love his dials and bracelets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DemonSlayer Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 You are so right, the dials and especially bracelets I like. The way they just sit around the wrist, no gaps at all, looks perfect IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
