PP for me. I've never been too keen on the screw-heads of the RO.
I think that I would be happy with either. However, if I HAD to choose just one, the Nautilus edges it - just barely (for me anyway).
Cheers,
Well, it's certainly a close poll at the moment!!
i've gone for the PP, as given the choice of "if they were £1k each, which would you buy based on looks.."
The RO is a striking watch, but I much prefer the subtlety of the Nautilus.
Nauti but nice:
PP for me too. In fact I just got back from New York where I was hoping to see one and try it on, unfortunately both Wempe and Tiffany had none in.
I have to declare a conflict in that I own a white dial 15300. As has been said, it is very striking and quite an "obvious" watch. The rotor in gold with the heraldic shields of the two founding families is a thing of beauty. I love too the waffle dial which offers something different.
Hwever, the bezel and bracelet do, as has been noted before, pick up scratches very easily but as a summer watch I think it is perfect.
All that said, I am growing to appreciate the nautilus more and more and could easily see myself with an annual calander on black leather strap as I age badly! Still, I guess I have to vote AP. an interesting comment above about the PP being a bit more stealth. I think that is correct.
