Hi my friend. I think there is a point to what you said but I think it shows that our beautiful hobby is turned into a reality show/insta gram click shit show. Indifference to, or not liking s watch - sure, Fine. But pissing people off and the enormous amount of rude behavior the Cubitus has caused has nothing to do with watches or taste (or lack of). More likely it’s flock mentality and flock behavior. I love watches but I’m beginning to think that I don’t always like (some) watch collectors. There a certainly many I don’t identify with at all.
sad in deed we can't call a spade as spade anymore...

it is not the timepiece but the message given by PP imho... two years of innovation to have the same 31mm dia movement with impropotional case size between Nautilus & Cubitus - that is not innovation from PP stature. one can be convinced to buy the timepiece, which is definitely individual taste but saying this is the innovation of the year...sorry that is utter ignorance IMHO. I don't think it is flock behaviour or mentality, it is just reality. Just because few think it is good like Mr. Sterns message, it doesn't become right. not least, collectors react because it is Patek. Not every brand has such feedback or reaction when it is done well or not so well. I do believe Cubitus is not a bad watch, but I personally would have expected it from other brands not PP. End of the day, we all collect what we like - so the rections are just opinions.
I guess you already have the Nautillus so is just for fun 😁 but if someone would buy today I would definitely get the Cubitus because it has more presence, it is easier to get and is really the next/better Nautilus. I am saying this as a Nautilus owner and ...not in a wait list for the cubitus.
To me the Cubitus looks like a Frankenstein, it's like when you have guests at home and you have to cook something in 20 minutes, a case too full of "wanna bes" and the truth is that it is one of the models with the most disapproving comments in such a short time, although Terry says that this watch "is criticized by those who cannot have it", putting the final nail in the coffin with this comment.
