Patek Philippe

yet pleasantly familiar. But I was turned off a bit by its reported 45mm size ( especially having a small 6.5”/16.5 cm wrist) and it generally seemed to fall considerably short compared to the iconic 5711. I also felt that perhaps a bolder and more colorf...  

I tried it out in-person and disliked it a lot. I am not a huge Nautilus fan either though and strongly prefer the Royal Oak. I think the other big turn off here were the comments made by the CEO about the design being "all him" etc. That is not something... 

and it sill misses any soul imo

It may not look good on your wrist. So it has to be tried on in person. When I was a teenager, I was introduced to the 5711 Nautilus by my mother. She thought it looked quite nice. I said, "it looks strange and it looks like it has ears!" I thought it loo... 

Thanks for sharing your path to 5712. You made a great choice for yourself. Also it is IMO a great watch.

Yes. You did mention you tried it on. And I realize my response implied that you hadn't - not my intention. Only go for it if you're absolutely smitten about it!

I've tried it on several times, and it doesn't look good on my wrist. And the proportions look weird to me. Much better with the 40mm, but a hair to small and it didn't sign to me on the wrist either. I must confess that I'm a bit too picky with square wa...  

Check my video of it with a 41mm RO to get a sense of the real size, because it's nothing like the claimed 45mm. I couldn't wear it if it were a 45. That said, it's not original enough to anticipate it will become a classic just yet. This is a reasonable ... 

Also interesting your comments here as to what you feel it would take to set Cubitus apart from its Patek brethren and to create something more special than what it is now.

Yes, I'm that Tim M. My thoughts on setting the Cubitus apart converge on the same point; it needs to offer something never offered on a previous Patek sports watch. A Cubitus-exclusive full tantalum case and bracelet would be great. Some kind of true div... 

There is one Cubitus right now that while not different in a revolutionary way is nevertheless different. Aside from the platinum having a large date at 12 it has the days of the week around the moon phase rather than the date. I don’t recall seeing these... 

...but if you love it, that should be enough...

for sharing your thoughts and try on experiences concerning the steel Cubitus. I have only tried on the rose gold 40 mm variant. It wears well on my wrist and I find the watch globally refined and well done. But I don’t like the stripes decorating the rot... 

But there is only one strap model so far

...I was also worried that it would be too large as I usually try to stay under 40mm unless it's a dive watch, for example.

I also don't like its name.

how Cubitus will be viewed years from now. I certainly am making no predictions

… when the boutique received the courier package with the first two. They wear way smaller than the 45mm would suggest. Here they are on my 17.2 cm wrist. Interestingly it was the 5822P that appealed to me the most. But I’d have to say I wouldn’t take eit...  

Too large. The size of the smaller 7128 is so much better for a square watch.

5821/1A regular production has a green dial which many loved for the last run of 5711/1A. As mentioned in my post on trying on this piece, it is a “small” 45mm which I can still just pull off with my small wrist given its thin case. I do also love the col...  

Admittedly I have only seen in in shop windows and have not tried it on, but I am not a fan of the case shape or the colour of the dial. I was surprised that I like the two tone version more (because I don't normally like two tone watches), and out of all... 

there are other watches I much prefer.

I have previously owned a 5712, and that was nicely made and very comfortable. I am sure the steel version of the Cubitus is too.

Definitely wears large imo. I feel like patek should be sleek and refined…. ...  

1. Make an inferior copy of the Cartier Santos 2. Make an inferior version of the Nautilus I have tried it on and it did nothing for me even though I like integrated bracelet watches.

In most cases when I see a wrist shot of a cubitus, I have a reflexively negative visceral reaction. But it’s an odd reaction because I did try it on and liked how it felt well enough on the wrist…plus I like green dials. However, I couldn’t parse out how... 

... but unfortunately also the rational is difficult if you copy paste a design that is simply too close, too "wanna be", too much "non professional" from a design point of view [I am sorry - I am honest here], compared to the uinique design of the Nautil... 

It is interesting however to know other people’s viewpoints. Also, someone might say something I never thought about or somehow never noticed. Also, interesting and perhaps informative to know how actual owners’ views have evolved after wearing a watch ma... 

I still prefer nautilus but I think it looks great on his wrist. It wouldn’t be a watch I would chase. But I do like it.
