5726/1A by GRF

[webby48]

Andrew just listed a new 5726 by GRF on a SS bracelet with a working moonphase and annual calendar.

It comes in Blue, Gray, or White dial, but only the Blue is a real gen color.

Blue: https://www.intime05.co/patek-philip...elet-a324.html

Black: https://www.intime05.co/patek-philip...elet-a324.html

White: https://www.intime05.co/patek-philip...elet-a324.html

Anyone planning on ordering this one? I know Puretime used to have a no-name 5726 on their site, but I'm not fully sure how this GRF one is different since it appears they both use the 9015 movement: https://puretimewatch.io/nautilus-57...elet-a324.html

It also appears to have more gen-like subdials unlike the KMF model that was previously released.

I'm not too familiar with the 5726 but doesn't it look too thick? Intime says 11,3 mm but to me it seems thicker.

The gen is 11.3mm according to the Patek website: https://www.patek.com/en/collection/...us/5726-1A-014

Maybe they were able to actually match the thickness for once.

I'm not as eagle-eyed as other posters, but it appears to me that everything else looks good on this maybe aside from the Month/Day font?

Here's a Blue gen https://www.chrono24.com/patekphili...lue-dial-novelty---57261a-014--id12438849.htm

It looks quite fine and with a working moon-phase (I hope!) at last.
They even have replicated the subtle texture on the moon's disk: you can see it on the third photo of the rep.
From what I see 5726 were produced in all the three dials' colors, not just blue...

Nice effort regarding the thickness, build quality looks also decent compared to other alternatives in the past...

the let down is that they had to compromise with the day date because of movement limitations... this changes the dial layout compared to the gen unfortunately

I think GRF is better than the previous KMF in term of size, sub dial, the crystal is stand high with beveled edge, even the mid case is look more like gen, but why ? Why they get the 2 pusher button wrong position ?
Gen top, GRF mid and KMF bot

Just a guess, but it may have something to do with the difference between the gen and ref movements.

The blue color seems off. The GRF appears it has a purplish hue, whereas the gen is a more greenish/blue (almost a mix between Cyan/Teal and blue).

Good find. I was only looking at the currently available.produced colors on Patek's website. Now I wonder which of these 3 is most gen like in color.

I see it now. It looks like the day-date is one "line" lower on the rep than on the gen. Anything else besides the pusher placement?

Has anyone pulled the trigger yet? And wow I had no idea It was possible for reps to have a fully working annual calendar!!! This is news to me! Is this something new? And how reliable is the movement?

 

[webby48]

I just got my QC pics for it. I'll let you guys know in a few weeks when it arrives.

 

[Brunswick]

The only question is if it is a working moonphase or a day night indicator. Looks like a day night indicator though

 

[webby48]

delete. wrong thread.

 

[chiccovn]

a quick look, Compared to KMF, the GRF day, month, date all look better; negative is super protruding crown right? and ofcourse the day-night half moon thing!

Please post your qc

I am thinking on buying one. I believe the gray dial is the closest to the gen color. It’s hard to screw up grey. But otherwise I believe it is one of the better nautilus’ out there. Most of the 5711’s have poor date wheels or wrong thickness. The GC pics look very good! Any thought about grey?

No sure if someone mentioned this, but when I compared it to the gen, one of the most noticeable flaws is the day and month windows. Particularly the shape. The gen windows are larger and “more towards a square shape” compared to the replica that has distinct rectangular

Also the size of the date at the 6 o clock is definitely smaller on the replica
