Cubitus Viewing at AD

[911cz]

Went to my local AD in Prague today to try on the Cubitus collection. Must say the pictures online don’t do it justice. More you look at it in person, the more you appreciate the design and craftsmanship. My wrist is 6.75 and I personally prefer the bracelet version.

It is an outlier in the PP watch style and perhaps a bit brutalist rather than Bauhaus but it looks much better in real life than the images.

Thanks for the photos.

In my eyes these look awfully large in the shots despite the fact that the dangling bracelet makes the wrist look larger than it is. Once the bracelet has been properly fitted the green one will look larger still. It would wear smaller and more elegantly if they had rounded the corners but, wait, we have had exactly that since 1976.

Thanks for the pics.

I'm in agreement with the other poster that this looks large on your wrist. It's not just the lug-to-lug, but the entire real estate it takes up. It wears really big, at least in the pictures.

I'm also of the opposite side of the spectrum in that the more and more I see these things on an actual wrist, I'm beginning to dislike it more.

It's a really....hmmm....inelegant design. It's very sharp and brutalistic, if I can create a word. For a company known for elegance even in its sports watches, the watch looks more like Soviet era constructivist art.

If that's your thing, more power to you. But it's very jarring for me.

Glad you liked them.

I mean this as a light comment, but whenever I see pictures of the 5822P, the bottom of the dial reminds me of this clock:

Thanks for the photos. Were the watches spoken for?

Yes they were all spoken for. Wish list the only option.

Perhaps I’m in the minority but I like the 5822P dial layout which works well in the square space.

All that matters is that you like it.

To me the 5822 dial looks unbalanced and worlds apart from the asymmetric 5712 and Lange 1 dials. The empty space in the lower left corner looks weird as if somebody is pushing the subdials to the right. This visual effect gets emphasized by the symmetric position of the outsized date which looks much better on a Lange 1 IMO.

Agreed. There is a symmetry in the asymmetrical 5712, unlike the 5822p.

And now that you mentioned it, I can’t unsee the open space in the lower left corner, and how squished to the middle the day / moon phase sub-dial is.

The complication is interesting, though. I hope it gets rolled out on other references.

It is interesting how we all see things differently, despite liking the 5712 (and having one on order) I have the opposite view about the dial layout when compared to the 5822. It is the 5712 that has the squished seconds subdial on the right, almost crashing into the bezel in a very odd way. And don't ask about the power reserve, what is that doing both positionally and why is it even included on an automatic watch.

Just got mine today. Had the choice between green or two tone. Went with two tone.

Congratulations.

I had tried one on a few weeks back, it felt huge after wearing a nautilus and more in line with the feel of a 42mm rolex in the way it spread out on the wrist. Its not objectively too big for most people but it felt oversized in comparison

[EmilA]

Tried one on earlier today. Lovely watch, I have larger wrists and this fits well, I didn't ask to get onto the list for the SS version but on my next trip there, I think I will ask to be put down.

Just being honest, but I think the watch is too big for your wrist. It's just a really oversized watch with that square-ish shape.

That's a fair comment. It didn't feel uncomfortable for me though. But a bigger issue that I have is a lack of funds to afford it anyway

Looks great.

I tried them on recently and they just looked enormous. Even the salesman commented that they’re too big generally - not just for my 16.5cm wrist. He was also surprised that they’d used the exact same dial as the Nautilus, as well as the exact same shade of green as the run off 5711.

I’m trying to like it but it’s honestly hideous

[PT_91]

I tried on all 3 versions and have to say that they wear smaller than they look, but still seem very chunky due to their shape.

It seems to me that the majority of users who write that they really like the watch, are people that already have an extensive PP collection and hence seem to somewhat be "PP-fans in general".

[JMac6]

The 5822P, in my humble opinion, is a very unfortunate looking watch.

[~JJ]

Perhaps it’s the perspective from the pics, but looks like a clock on your wrist.
