Patek's new release has been met with almost unanimous scorn. I guess I must be the only person who thinks they look great. It does look like a Santos, but I like that, and I like rectangular watches. Perhaps it is a lazy design but to have a current Patek with this aesthetic is nice.

My complaint would be that it's far too big, but I'm sure they'll release it in a smaller size. Also the price for the stainless steel is silly and means it is still unobtainable for most, but on looks alone, I like it.

What’s old is new I guess. Looks like a 1980’s Casio or something.

Went and saw the Cubitus in the boutique. It looks nicer on screen than it does up close; it's just too damn big. It would look fine on wrists over 7" but the stainless steel model just isn't that exciting.

It's always amusing how different Patek is to Rolex ADs when you visit, though. Here, they can't do enough for you, even when just browsing. Most Rolex ADs, the retards always seem like they're 2 seconds away from a nervous breakdown and just want everyone out of the shop.

Recently had my 1990 era Submariner date Rolex serviced. $800. To be honest, I have never paid more than $200 for a watch in my life. This was a gift from a friend who has passed on so I felt obligated to have it serviced. I play a lot of poker, so it was dying on me often. I wasn't moving enough. After servicing I haven't had an issue. But just putting out $800 clams for a watch service was painful.

Similar cost as it is here. That's not too bad when you think about how long it will have gone without a service, though. Plus, it will now run for many more years without needing another one. Did they give you a breakdown of what needed fixed? Any parts replaced and polishing done?

I'm going to try on the two-tone blue dial Submariner next month. it's really grown on me. I think I prefer the older models with the gold text (as opposed to white) on the dial, though.
