I think social media has untold impact on this watch, and not just among the general population but among collectors too.

The hype around the Nautilus is greatest among collectors and enthusiasts. In addition the increased socialization of watch collectors via RedBar, Hodinkee and other influencer and collector group meet-ups has generated more interest and momentum for some watches than any forum can ever do. Seeing these watches in the metal, on a live wrist of a peer, will get your wallet out quicker than any picture shared on here I think.
But to the article, it hits on two points I’ve repeated many times here and elsewhere regarding my affection for the Nautilus. First, like the 911, or the Submariner, or the Royal Oak, the Nautilus is a classic design that has survived the test of time. For that reason alone it is extremely appealing. Second, something I’ve learned with ownership, it’s an extremely versatile watch which is something not many watches truly have.
