PP Nautilus vs AP ROyal Oak
Shamlessly lifted from another site, but this is quite a nice write up about Genta's timeless designs:

I can't help but like the RO more...
Edit: Added a poll, since they seem to be flavour of the month!
I've owned examples of both ...
... and I currently have two Royal Oaks! There is huge variation across each of the ranges, of course. I had the white gold, power reserve Nautilus on a leather strap, but found it a bit too thin. I then had a steel Nautilus with an annual calendar on a leather strap - I loved it until I saw my current rose gold Royal Oak Dual Time. After that the Nautilus didn't get a look in at all. I also have an early Offshore (first series, so quite subtle).
The APs seem just as well made to me, but a bit less staid, without losing the retro vibe. The Dual Time has drawn lots of positive comments from non WIS - mostly women! ;o) I'm planning to let the Offshore go as the Dual Time actually has enough heft to wear casually, but still works with a suit.
