This very much depends what rep you’ve got! Firstly, if your Nautilus is on a bracelet, then the answer is no. The end links for straps are different and have a little tongue that goes into a metal insert in the end of the strap, the bracelet end links are different and don’t have this. Secondly, gen straps only fit on the SW200 Nautilus rep, which I’m not sure is even available anymore but worth a try if you’re interested! DC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Doing donuts in Miccy D's with the bass pumping through the big stereo Once you get an auto 5 Series you'll be more like an old man although I still drive mine like a BMW driver from time to time. I think I'm hitting my midlife crisis as I really fancy a 340i, especially as my next door neighbour has just got an ex-demo 335d xDrive M Sport with all the toys.

_DC_ 218 Posted June 1, 2018 Been a long time since I last wore this piece, 5970g... There’s a lot I don’t like about this rep. It’s not as thick as it should be (bet you never thought you’d hear me say that about a rep), although the watch feels solid and is generally decent quality the crown is not especially nice, I wish it had stick markers rather than diamond markers, it should be a chronograph but it’s not, etc etc. But there’s an awful lot I absolutely love about it. The concave bezel is delicious and pure Patek, plus they got the lugs just right, the movement is solid and hasn’t missed a beat, it’s spot on to gen case diameter at 40mm (which is the perfect size for a watch), but most importantly it’s one of only two that I’ve ever seen and quickly became unavailable after I purchased it, so I could never sell it as it would be almost impossible to get another one! Think I need to get a different strap for it just to change it up a bit and encourage me to wear it more!! DC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
