BP 3800 Nautilus - mods?

I'm interested in knowing if there are dials that can replace the greenish blue dial in the commonly seen replica BP 3800 Nautilus - circa 8.5 mm, 37.5 mm diameter case. Has any member modded the BP 3800 in any other way, and who performed the mods? My small wrists call for this 37.5 mm. case, so any information will be most appreciated. I am in Italy, so any reputable watchmaker in an EEC country would be great for having any mods performed. Thank you very much! :)

I saw that the BP 3800 Nautilus is offered with different dials on different websites. I also saw the obvious PATEKPHILIPPE on the dial, instead of PATEK PHILIPPE. Is there a modder who can repaint the BP 3800 dial? Thank you.

I bought mine in 2020 if I remind correctly and the Patek Philippe writing was fixed (with the right spacing). At that time, only the blue dial was available, I doubt anyone can get a custom dial if not A/ custom made B/ Gen dial if it even fit.

Maybe if enough people on this forum who bought it are all interesed enough, they could coordinate and get a factory to make a small run? The 3800 is one of my absolute favorite reps and I just wish the dial was right.

+1 for a 3800 rep.
No dealers with stock of this one?

Check Toro Bravo and Trusty Time websites.

Both of them can't get one because the BP Factory stop manufacturing the watch, to sad... Hope we could convince them to make a new batch maybe with pre order ;)

The watch was not worth the 200 usd asked. The 3800 is very small it’s more of a ladies measure this days…

Some call it ladies' mesure some say their wrists are too thin for the 5711, that's my case.

To launch a bit on the 3800 discussion I have some NEWS.
I recently placed an order through Theoneswatches for a 3800, I paid 418$ instead of the 188$ it was offered for by BP a few years back. Afraid of being scammed, the TD told me it was a newer run of higher quality and that he was waiting on the first production to get out to get me a QC.

I'll keep you guys updated, it's either exciting news, or me losing some money haha.

A TD said they could get it for me. 188$ which is the base price. I don't have the cash currently, willing to try it out for the rest of us ? The TD is well known, shoot me a DM and I'll send you proof and their email.
