I keep looking at that thread started by [MENTION=102925]Godfathar[/MENTION] on the best 5711... Always drooling for one.

Would love to see your Royal Oaks beside a Naut if you guys have!

Semi on topic. Are there currently good versions of the naut? Bp is the best from what ive read but still has its flaws?

I own a BP patek naut blue dial, it looks fantastic! Definitely a go. I switch the SS bracelet out with leather straps, looks fantastic too!

Good news, mine finally arrived today. 25 days total from paying to receiving. 15 of those were waiting for QC. Ems shipping arrived safely in 6 days including the weekend.

Bad news, one of the screws attaching bracelet to case is badly stripped and mangled. Don't even know how this is possible. It simply fell out of the watch when I turned it over to size the bracelet. Emailed TD and asked him to send me some additional screws.

Mine arived today too. It took longer for mine; it was shipped before you got your QC pics. I didn't resized bracelet yet. What size is your wrist? It looks smaller than mine on the pic.
And when it comes to screw, just go to any watchmaker and they should give you one instead of waiting for another shipment from China.
I'm quite impressed with this watch. It feels very smooth including bracelet, there are no stap edges.
I think I will buy Patek Nsutilus BP v1 next.

Hey bud glad yours arrived! My wrist is exactly 7 inches. I removed a total of four links. 3 on one side and 1 on another and the clasp is centered in the middle of my wrist.

Hmm that's a good tip about the watch maker. But on principle I'm asking Ken to send me some screw's. Here's another pic showing the difference between the busted screw (top) and a good screw (bottom)

The bad screw is longer for some reason and the sides by the threads are almost pounded flat,....

And yes the quality is really good! I forgot did you get blue as well?

Im trying to sell off some 42 offshores. After that my next one is gonna be 44 chrono rg i think. I'm not a big bracelet guy so the 15400 is enough for me in that category, although the bp Nautilus does look awesome.

I was thinking I could send you screw from my link but I realized you can use your own from links you removed :D
Yes I got blue. It looks exactly the same like yours.
44 RG ROO are nice. Are you buying QE2? I was thinking about QE2 but I already have JPM which in my opinion is more badass and i like racing heritage of the watch. The only think about JF RG ROO, RG is not acurate comparing to gens. It should be more yellow and less red.
My wrist is around 7.50 - 7.75.

The lug screws are sadly different from the bracelet pin ones. Much shorter.

I don't think I will go for qe 2 since I already have the latest 44 fc with plates.

Although an argument could be made the qe can replace both 44 fc and 44 rg hah

I love this watch but its a freaking scratch magnet :D i dont know how i get scratches in the bracelet i didn't worn it for 2 weeks and only cleaned it with a soft towel but i had scratches outside from the middelthink (where it es polished).

Is it because of the soft towel? It freaks me out. I know the watch will keep getting scratches when i wear them but man how can i make scratches in it with only cleaning it? Doesn't make sense to me and its only the bracelet nothing more. Really strange.

I have a similar problem with the a lug screw on my JF; one is stuck solid and will not come out despite my best attempts with numerous oils. My intention was to soak the bracelet in an oil bath but I haven't been able to remove it from the head.

Luckily the link screws came out beautifully so there was no need to oil them. Looks like I'm stuck with the SS bracelet on my watch which isn't a bad thing!
