So, my Nautilus mod story.
Similar to what Godfathar has done some months ago. Continue reading and you will understand.
When I first saw the Patek Philippe Nautilus SS in blue, I was amazed. A couple of years later I saw the rose gold one with the brown dial. That was it, I was in love!
Since then I have been trying to find a rep RG Nautilus that would be as close as possible to the gen one. When I saw the rep that the PF factory built, I thought this doesn’t look bad. So, I bought the watch and got it since then in my collection. It has been a year since the moment I got this watch and one day I asked the question in here whether has anyone done a mod using the gen dial and the PF watch. The answer was positive and that was the moment I thought I needed to research more on that!
Godfathar was kindly enough to share his experience with me. Really great support on this one. So a big thank you
Godfathar!
The next step was to find a gen dial at a reasonable price so that my project could start. I was surprised to see that there were a couple of these little brown gen dials available out there, not all of them at a price I was willing to pay. Some days later I had already found the right price, and bought the most expensive part I have ever bought :wacko:
The gen dial within days was in my hands. Needless to say how amazing this dial is! It’s a true chameleon and I feel that when this dial sits inside the rose gold case can get even more colors!
So, the next step was to get the date-wheel, and that was the easy bit, thanks to the
Nautilus Date Wheel Project.
As soon as I had all the parts with me, then the next step would be to send all of them to a modder. I have managed to find one from RWI, however I will respect his request not to share his details here or in pm's. I am happy he kindly accepted to do the mod for me, so thank you modder!
I have now sent the watch and parts to him and now I am expecting some good news and pictures.
I will keep you posted with more updates as this project goes forward.
