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.
