Nautilus Gen vs. Rep Video

[grilledcheese]

This just popped up in my YouTube Feed. I am by no means an expert regarding PP or Nautiluses, but I thought this might be interesting for you.

Enjoy.

It's in German but you can still enjoy the pictures.

Thanks for sharing that - some great macro work in that video.

Thanks for sharing, interesting comparison indeed. That's a PPF. Curious which version though. If I recall the v1 had a purple shaded dial, which the one on the video seems to have

Extremely good video, esp with those macros. Gotta say, the rep dial, though a different color all together, the markers and the printing is very impressive. One of the cleanest rep dials I have ever seen.

The cannon pinion tip is also a minor tell on the rep Miyota movement.

Gen's left crown guard's taper seems to be steeper than PPF's, but the right crown guards of the two look almost identical.

And hour hand is shorter.

All I all, PPF v3 is the best 5711 rep out there

Out of the box I think it is the best. I will give it an 7.5/10.

yeah, and can be easily serviced instead of complicated 3K movement.

This to me is the most frustrating aspect of this rep. The flat portion of the bezel is far too wide, and you see much less of the beautiful polished angled portion. It just looks... wrong, unfortunately. It makes it look heavy and bloated. For me, that sticks in my craw far more than the protruding crown, and I am NOT a fan of that either.

The other slight differences in case shape around the crown guard and on the opposite side of the porthole are more subtle, and I think less annoying, at least for me.

OverTheTop - great comparison gif! Looks like it's giving birth to that oversized crown... But that bezel just LEAPS out.

Just with a larger hour hand and a thinner bezel would be one of the best reps of the year.

Not sure about the larger hour hand, are you basing your comment on the animated gif on the previous page or on other pics ? Because in the animated gif lighting plays a big part, with the hour hand being either in the light or in the dark and when in the dark it looks smaller. If you look at the hour markers you get the same illusion

Based on animated gif.

Taking into consideration the light impact, the hour hand seems a little bit longer.

Likewise. the curve of the bezel gives a nice lustering look to the face/front of the watch. But this video definitely shows how the rep bezel's brushing is much rougher than the gen, which also attributes to the overall smoothness of the watch.
