I bought my 1st Nautilus in 2000 so 20 years ago. It was a 3710/1A with the comet. Super cool watch which NO ONE liked at the time. Sadly and stupidly I traded it for Daytona Zenith at the time.

Still remember wearing Aquanauts and early Nautilus watch and having discussions with other collectors on TZ in the early days. Most of them hated the Patek SS sports watches and did not consider them part of Patek's true heritage. My how times have changed.

What is your trick to avoid micro-scratches on your Nauts?

I actually prefer the white dial much more than the blue

One of the reasons I don't go after Genta legends, and any modern craze legends in general, in the meantime is because of the popularity, which, to me, is a bit off-putting. I would make an exception for the Journe CB though, which, obviously, is not a Ge...
