Date wheel on MKS looks really good, might just buy this...

Great find! The mkf looks like it still might have the problem with the gaping bracelet where the links attach to the midcase. Especially noticeable towards the end of the first video

Glad to see the mkf is 9.0mm thick, we can say its better than the pf, look at the datewheel

Does the white dial "Patek Philippe Geneve" on the MKS look bubbly and raised to anyone else?

The review says the color on the white is too glossy or silver. The markers are also way too green when they are not lit.

I’m reserving judgement until people have them in hand. The pf has a lot of room for improvement

Both videos seem to show the mkf bracelet being too stiff again and not dropping down like the pf. See 11:50 in the YouTube video.

Well spotted sir. This is a deal-breaker for me, I can't wear a watch with the sides overhanging like that. I think I'll stay with my 3800 and potentially grab a 2nd hand PF if the marker at 12 is good enough.

Members who had the older MKF V4 with this problem, simply sanded the first links. It was discussed in the MKF V4 thread if you need additional information.

it would mostly affect guys with smaller wrists right? if you're wrist is 7.5 then the flair would fit your wrist sorta like the AP driver? I have never owned a nautilus so just curious how the bracelet works on it.
