You see these things popping up every so often, right? Like that ref. 3700/4. Holy moly. Yellow gold *and* diamonds? That’s some serious baller status right there. Apparently, it’s one of the *rarest* vintage Nautilus models. I mean, *rare*. That’s the kind of thing that makes your bank account cry just looking at it. But oh man, is it gorgeous. I’d probably be too scared to actually *wear* it, though. Imagine scratching that baby! *shudders*
Then you got the 3800/1J. This one…it’s got that diamond and emerald *pavé* dial. Pavé! I always stumble over that word, but anyway… That’s some next-level bling. I think some people might find it a little *too* flashy, tbh. Like, “look at me, I’m rich!” kinda vibe. But hey, if you got it, flaunt it, right? Plus, emeralds are just… chef’s kiss.
And don’t even get me started on the 3800 in general. I saw one listed as “very good preowned” with a blue dial. Classic! 37.5mm is kinda small-ish for today’s standards maybe, but honestly, on the wrist, it’s perfect. And that 18k yellow gold bracelet? Forget about it. It’s just so… *smooth*. The one I saw fit up to a 7 1/4 inch wrist. I gotta measure mine now… I wonder how much they’re going for these days… Probably more than my car, *sigh*.
Then, there’s the 3800/1 with the black dial. Talk about a classic look. 18k yellow gold, black dial, it’s just… *right*. Some call it “unisex”, but honestly, who cares? Wear what you like. If I could pull it off, I’d rock that thing every day. Okay, maybe not *every* day, gotta keep it safe, you know?
Honestly, trying to keep all these reference numbers straight is making my head spin. 3700, 3800, 3900… it’s all a blur of yellow gold and unattainable luxury. But that’s what makes them so cool, right? They’re like a dream you can (probably) never afford. Still, it’s fun to dream.
