PP Nautilus Homage
« on: May 21, 2013, 02:36:18 PM »
Patek Philippe Nautilus is one of the most iconic watch. Design by a legend, manufactured by the most respected brand. As a result, it is also one of the most copied watch design, after Rolex's President & Subs I suppose.
However, most copy (or homage) are just a poor representation of the real thing, especially true for Nautilus. The proportion is out. The dial is wrong. The watch may be oval. And worst, most of them have a disgorging word "Quartz" printed on it's face. They may look good from afar, but close inspection almost certainly disappointing.

Until I saw this.


This homage is in a league of it's own.
All I know is, I want one, pleeease.

More importantly is how does it feel on the wrist? Is the bracelet as fluid and wrist hugging as the original?

Honestly, I have no idea.

From the wrist shot, it hug pretty good. However, I believe it will not come close to the real thing. That's why it is called a real thing anyway.

The matter of fact is, it is kinna hard to find now. The last place I know it surfaces is on eBay,  but recently no luck. And I never see it selling in watch shop on our shore.

Or do any member saw it for sale anywhere?
