Nice Polo! That's one I wasn't aware of. I recently bought a Polo S and all the fake Nautilus bashing gave me pause before buying it but I like it. Blue on blue croc. The only one that

apealed to me. I like the readability, the hue of the dial, the blue rotor, the size. While there is a slight resemblance to a Nautilus with its brushed bezel with an inner softened TV shape, that's pretty much where the resemblance ends. One of the signature features of the Nautilus is the integrated bracelet and the S on bracelet also lacks that. To me the real problem with the Polo S is calling it a Polo! There is very little going on with the S to connect it to all the previous Polos where the biggest signature feature was always the bars going through the watch and bracelet, sometimes even the dial. They should have called the S something else and continued to make a "Polo" that looks like a Polo!  I feel its a stretch to call it a rip off of the Nautilus. Any "TV" going on with the Nautilus? The B&R BR-05 on the other hand is another story. The watch itself is not overly reminicent of the Nautilus but that bracelet and how its integrated into the watch pushes the overall design too far into Nautilus territory. I do think Piaget blew it by letting go of a unique signature design element in their lineup.
