AP Openworks Skeleton 15305ST.OO.1220ST.01
I decided my next piece is going to be the AP Openworks Skeleton --- preferably the steel with a bracelet and looking for early spring. Seems like these are not too easy to find. Any possible leads ... My decision is based on the fact that I have had this one on my short list for some time and it keeps growing on me. I do not own nothing like a skeleton.. My only other AP is the AP ROO Chrono so i am familiar with AP. Most of my pieces are Patek and I do not own any Rolex. I generally like a watch that has a few complications and this one is quite the opposite but it has visual activity and that is a turn on for me.

Has there been an increase in Nautilus demand?
I have noticed that prices for all Nautiluses have jumped significantly in the last year. 5711's were a few k over list and are now MUCH more than that. 5712's were available at around list and now also very expensive. Annual calendars were undesirable and now also seem in demand. What happened? Vintage market finally helming the more modern market?

Is the new Pepsi dressier or sportier than the BLNR?
The jubilee bracelet is dressier, but the red adds sportiness. Thoughts?
