Don't u think the Nautilus with that squarish shape has some resemblance to the Royal Oak line?

 

[Denieru82]

That's because both are from the same designer.. A very famous one in the watch industries..

Same designer, Gerald genta.

 

[patryn33]

sadly alot of these aspiring ppl are designers. They don't make movement, don't engineer case or straps etc.

imho I would give watchmaker alot more credit. I see true watchmaking process more engineering with a touch of design.

Design inspired by potholes of some royal ship....
Along with the bvlgari bvlgari watch.
What abt VC overseas...? Is it also by Gerald genta?

 

[Denieru82]

Aiya.. No one participate in my quiz.. Sob sob..

Maybe too lame already.. Never mind, I give the answer..

Nautilus in Singlish equals naughtiness..
I feel it resemble yatto a lot as he is always so funny even tho he is an uncle.. Lol..!!! Always going. Is that a sexpensive timepiece etc..
