New pics. I opened up the front to remove a dust particle and while at it greased the gasket.
Oh yeah the screws of the bezel were so loose that I have no faith in them. Please use some locktite on them when you get yours.
1 more tip from me. If the bracelet is either too tight and leaves a mark on your wrist, or too loose and wobbles around on your wrist:
Add a piece of leather in the clasp. Nobody will see if but your wrist will feel the comfort and so will you. Use double sided adhesive on the clasp bars and add the piece of leather on top of that. If you match the leather color close to your own skin color then it's even less noticeable

looks great! The only small flaw is date font. I thought bracelet would be more flexible but that can change with wear.. I actually think it may become more flexible with time.
color of the dial is good. It doesn’t mimic newest grayish Nautilus dial but previous gen version.
houer markets look great and straight.
Printing is crisp. Overall great rep! But I need to take another look at those pics
Next week I'll get my usb microscope in with approx 200x zoom in for my watchmaking. I'll make some super detailed pictures by the of all parts
Looking forward to see those pics, and thanks for verifying that "Geneve" and "isochronism" was spelled correctly on the movement which was a major concern. If you can, please include a calendar window display of any date between 11-19 and 30 or 31, when you do post more pics next week. Your pictures have been most helpful. Thanks again.

Thank you for posting those pictures. 20-29 seems a little short, but the rest of the dates look good. A lot better than the stock PF 5711 dates.

It is unfortunate that the BINONE/SpongeBob DWO is not compatible with MKF Nautilus V5. However there is still some hope, that is if customclout decides to make a DWO specifically for the MKF Nautilus V5. As far as the greenish markers and hands, a relume would be necessary.
All these modifications to improve the PF or MKF, will cost more than what some people are willing to pay.
