Yes sir!!
I can see that..
And lots of time and wait I guess.

Well, the project was completed just before the pandemic.
I wouldn't dare to think what would have happen if the pandemic was a couple of months early.

Sourcing the gen dial was another thing.

The end result though is :wowa:

Hi folks, just to make sure, no factory delivers working moonphase, right? Just a day/night thing, isn't it?

Hi all, I would like to introduce myself - Gin. I have been lurking around this forum for a while reading, learning and finally made took the step to join as a member. I want to thank all those who have contributed to this patek nautilus thread which I have read over and over the last few days. I have learnt much from especially Godfathar, Bionone, Chenakos etc. Thank you. I would also like to say that because of the information in this thread, I have finally the confidence to make my first purchase from Puretime a "Nautilus 5711/1A PPF 1:1 Best Edition Blue Textured Dial on SS Bracelet 324CS V4". My very first rep, very first step. Not sure i will do a franken yet but my next step is to look for a modder where I live.

The best modder in Singapore is legend.

Thank you gilrob! I will definitely keep legend in mind when I have any mod inclinations.

I thought the 3kf update was the best

Where would you say is the best place to buy the 3kf? Is there someone that allows you to look at macro pictures of the actual watches and pick which one you want...or is it just a gamble that you get a good one?

Any good modders around that help with this stuff?

Imho atm the best Nautilus out there are 3KF v2 and PPF v4 5711, and PPF 5712 and 5726.

I just moved over to Patek from RM forums and eventually developed a buy list and all of these except the PPF V4 5711. But I was surprised the more I looked at the 5712 and 5726, the more I feel it needs to be in my collection. However if I had to chose between 5712 vs 5726, i would go with the 5712 due to the thinness. However the 5726 is more functional... tough call.
