Wow, thanks for the review. I really love the simplicity of the Nautilus. Minimalistic but also very "advanced" at the same time.

I'm really in a dilemma here. Should I get this or a gen Maurice Lacroix Aikon automatic? I can get the Aikon for around $1100 brand new.

Damn, first world problems.

Just to show the quality of the blue version I’ve rejected last week... too bad I was waiting for the white one I ordered :(

Is the 3k datewheel font too small? I remember people going on and on about the DW font being too small when PF released their 5711 years ago. Then someone made a custom DW for it. After that PPF came out with the big font which filled up the whole window which is more genlike. But isn't the 3k dw font too small, seems like not many people are bitching about it this time :D

Very nice! My local dealer is having a special offer on them I might pick one up after getting my 5167 Metal Band I am very happy with the movement so far even though it goes about +-11 seconds a day which gets a bit annoying having to reset it every week or so!

It is definitely too small. There’s no aftermarket alternative either

The small date font flaw should be added to the improvement needed list for the 3KF Nautilus. I wonder how they erred on that since V6F/ 3KF had access to a gen 324 SC movement while developing the clone 324 SC movement.

Marketing strategies to keep people buying most likely.

What do the Aficionados have to say about the dial color and this piece in general ? timnic54

I am awaiting delivery of the blue dial Nautilus from 3K . I expect it to be the same as white but with a blue dial. How good the dial will be I must wait and see, but so far the images I have seen suggest it will be very good.

We (Keylog, Spongebob, me) didn‘t plan anything yet as i am aware...

and i am not sure when or if there will be some effort put into this as it is a different task than to make DWOs.
