It is indeed a fine looking watch.
It also has the advantage that it hacks ( the gen doesn't even do that ) Each new date appears from the bottom rather than the top which I guess is more logical than the gen.

Correct me if you may, but the overall consensus seems to be ...
PF+PPF modified > 3K > PPF v3 ?
I received the PPF v3 yesterday and I am pleased by it, but I do not have 3k in hand to compare.
My dial is slightly tilted , which I hope to have repaired.
There are currently not many options for local repair shops due to this pandemic , but I found one and they said it was a difficult job, which would cost roughly $100-200USD.
Regardless, do any of the experts in here have both 3k and PPF v3 in hand? Would love to hear your opinion on which you prefer.
Here are some wrist shots before and after bracelet resizing. I hope these images can give anyone in need a sense of what the blue dial is like in person.

Now it does, with the new movement in the last 5711 : https://www.horobox.com/en/news-detail/movement-upgrade-at-patek-philippe-nautilus-5711
They move at such speed, with such huge technological advances every 20 years , it's hard to keep up !

The Nautilus I like in blue is the 5712A. Hence why I went always white with the 5711A

timnic54 Thanks mate for your review and fine pictures. I have the PPF, and i can see that the PPF is superior in some aspects. But i can also see that the crown is more close to gen in your 3KF, than in the PPF, which has a bit too much protrusion. And the movement is off course at a whole other level in your 3KF.
I'm not convinced to change my blue Nautilus, but after reading your review i'm considering getting the white dial 3KF.

Spectacular review , any knows issues with movement so far ? Wonder how easy it is to get serviced ?
It is a very simple movement 3 hands, date and remote center seconds Service should be no problem. From the three I have handled so far, potential weakness I suspect, will be in remote seconds issues and Keyless issues. But much too early to tell.

Did you do a review for 3k 5711 in blue? I remember you posted your first hands-on impression and didn't like the watch.
