Hey RWI,

So today I am so excited to show you the Nautilus I've been waiting so long for.

I originally reached out to legend just after the new year, he was very kind and helped me out so much, it took around 1 month to complete, and about another month for shipping trouble which was totally my fault!

So the specs on this beauty are:

- PF 5711 Nautilus
- DWO by Keylog74 and friends
- Realigned markers
- Relume hands and makers
- Re polish markers and hands
- Thinned down to 8.65mm (closer to gen than 9mm which is cool!)

So I fully recommend legend 's work, and he is very polite and kind!!

(pro tip for Canadians like me, Singapore Tracked Air mail is NOT able to track within Canada, that gave me a bit some a bit of a panic, but it eventually showed up. So if you are buying anything from Singapore and it's shipping to Canada I would pay for DHL or another carrier)

anyways, here are the photos:

Beautiful piece ! Really gorgeous on the wrist. I'm waiting for mine too. How much was the budget for all the mods ?

I don’t know what’s up with that first picture, as on my phone it looks like the indices were polished with a Brilo Pad.

Looks awesome in the rest though, enjoy your beautiful new piece.

Yeah, its either maybe a little mark or it's my finger print on the crystal which makes it look like its scratched on the hands. Other photos look much better

Congrats! Beautiful example.

Thank you!

I'm not the best photographer, but to be honest no photos do it justice! The datehweel mod is beutiful in other people's photos at times it looks too thick but it's so perfect and so amazing, 24h later and I'm in love with it

Beautiful work!! The thinness is really apparent in the wrist shot where you can see the thickness. This definitely is in the top two on my list for next purchases. Just need to decide between the SS or the RG...

Congrats OP. The results of the case thinning mod looks great on the PF model, looking forward to see what it would look like on the MKF V5/6 models.

Can you send more detailed close-ups of the relumed indices on your dial with the crystal clean? I just want to better appreciate the world-renowned high-quality workmanship of the expert modder legend in all of its precision and perfection, in this case the kind of lume work that makes him one of the world's most renowned lume artists and dial refinishers.
