Yes that seems.tp be the difference. No I wouldn't go for the 5811 as the gen is supposed to be white gold anyway

Latest 3KF nautilus
- Thread starter hahamen
- Start date
And just one more question. So which is the latest version of the 3kf ss and rg nautilus, and what of the flaws were removed because I was reading the forum a lot for the nautilus the last couple of weeks and frankly I am a little bit lost with versions of the 3kf.
Thank you guys for all of the help

3KF didn't really change much with their new releases. Different dial colors for the blue dials (sometimes for the worse sometimes better but never quite right).
5711/R always requires a custom dial (SW/BUFF/etc.) as I never came across a decent stock dial (let alone the PPF 5711/R on a leather strap which was equipped with a grey brown dial unlike the bracelet version with a warmer brown colored dial.
otherwise 3KF stock dial on the RG is horrible whilst the rest is a bang for the buck. Invest in a custom dial, maybe a set of hands and a nice date disk and your watch is good to go.
3KF Rose gold color is also very pleasing compared to the gen.
Forget about different versions when it comes to 3KF - they never really played that game like others. Think about it as different batches.

If I must be completely honest this is the one that I want to get the most and as you are saying the dial is not great but ok for the money I will pay and the colour is good.
The only thing that I am afraid of is that unlike the two tone watches where you can order bew bezek or bracelet when the gold fades, here you should change the whole watch, because nikz isn’t doing rose gold anymore. And I like to wear my watches and I dont want to buy a watch that I will wear only 2-3 times a year for 1 day. This is the dilema that I have

Honestly - just go for it and buy a custom dial for the bracelet reference. Wear it as long as you are pleased with it. It is still so much cheaper than a full gold CNC case let alone the gen.Forgot to share the link:

Be aware that the stock dial of the 3KF is garbage. If you really dig through the web you‘ll find other suppliers who offer PVD gold plating to your liking.
Oftentimes with those vendors you‘ll end up with the same amount of money that it takes to get a new stock watch though.
I’d bite the bullet and get myself the 3KF with a little love in form of some custom parts and enjoy it.

I think it works like the new vc overseas. Pull around the section where the last bracelet link meets the clasp and a hidden internal link should extent out
Do you think it would be possible swap the new clasp from the 5811 onto the 5711s?

Hey guys just received the 3kf 5711 and it is a beautiful watch, just still can’t decide if it is a little too big for my wrist…

As long as the lugs don't extend over the edges of the top of your wrist, you're okay. IMO you're borderline, but it's up to you to make the final decision.
I am probably used to the daytona the last few weeks and that is why the 5711 feels and looks too big right now. Will wear it a few more days and decide if I will keep it or sell it.
Thank you for the comment!

I think part of it may be that the lugs are fixed and cannot curve down... a first link mod may help it fit your wrist better.

The first link connecting the case and bracelet is sanded at and angle on the inside to make the radius of its movement a little wider. This makes the bracelet to wrap steeper around your wrist.
Looking at your pics your wrist is fine for the lug to lug size of the 5711 and the flexible end link wouldn't do much difference.
I would say get used to the look of an integrated bracelet design as it appears bigger than the actual diameter of the watch head suggests.
