So this 3ATM thing is super annoying and dissapointing.

I agree, change happens on the margin. Let’s not forget that sports watches made today’s PP, full stop. Few care about anything other than Nautilus or Aquanaut. Quite frankly, Patek doesn’t have much to offer vs current indies in the classic category (outside of super complications). And secondary mkt prices reflect that. Almost every offering trades below MSRP! If sports watches are no longer attractive, game over.
