Thank you for the detailed post, can’t wait to see the results. Are you going to put the DWO in the MKv5? At least try it? I think the whole thread would be very interested

Just the PF. Based on what I read, it appears the DWO won’t work on the MKv5, so don’t want to dabble with it if it’s not necessary.

It’s theorical, no one has tried to put the dwo onto the mks before, I’m sure most of us would love to see whether it’s going to fit :)

Not sure why no one has mentioned this, get the pf 5711 grey dial with the dwo, you’ll get a rep that looks almost the same as gen. Blue dial colour is way off

Maybe because there is no such thing as a 5711 with grey dial and stainless steel bracelet, they only come with leather strap

The thing is one of the 5711 blue dial variations has a deep black&grey dial which looks exactly like the grey dial from pf

Oh you mean the one that is white gold and not steel and with leather strap and not bracelet ? I see why no one suggested that.

No I’m talking about 5711 with bracelet, there are some variations that the blue dial appears to be black

Knock it off - the color of the dial was discussed 100 times and more.

Gray dial included.

The problem is what you guys have been discussing is the grey dial only exists on the model with leather strap, ignoring the fact that one of the blue variant appear to be blackish grey as well, which has the same colour as the one from pf. From what I’ve seen on the gen, the blackish grey on the pf looks pretty accurate to the latest blue variant. While the blue dial on pf looks nowhere close to gen.

I agree with that, the latest blue dial in fact has a grey and black tone that does not look blue to me.

Oh yes! The gen white dial from brane came in! Very excited to put this into a Nautilus! I’ll be making a thread later when it’s complete!

i would not have even considered this build without the DWO mod. This community is fantastic!!
