Hi just want to clarify with all MWF members. Am I consider a watch collector?. I look at my drawer and I have dozen of watches namely Casio, seiko, Titus, omega, ted baker, police etc.
Well, you may be a watch hoarder instead of a collector. There is a difference; some may argue it's a subtle difference, others not so much.

Nothing to laugh on my Casio and nothing to impress with PP. As a beginner, really appreciate logical and positive comments from member. MWF is about sharing our love for watches to others

Did research and I think my first Patek will be a Nautilus since I don't have a sport watch.

You might want to consider the AP Royal Oak as well since the Nautilus appeals to you.

Good recommendation for AP royal oak. I started to pay attention to Fine watches like AP and now Breguet

For sport watch, consider the AP ROO models. Nautilus might not be that "tough" to fall in the sport watch category. For Patek, I still think the Calatrava is the best.

That is true. AP ROO is goddam sporty and is HUGE!  Nautilus is a more subtle "Sporty" dress watch.  if for my not-so-big wrist i would go for the Nautilus.

Get them both. In fact, get all 3, Nautilus, RO, and ROO. They are all very different and each provides distinctive feel.

There are doubts that Genta was actually involved in the design of the VC222 that morphed into the VC Overseas of today. Some sources believe that it was Hysek who designed the VC and not Genta.

Which model or design of the Ingenieur in the price range of RM15-20k (if there is one) would you recommend? What are the selling points? Appreciate some advice. Thanks in advance!
