V2 will have the super clone, movement looks amazing btw, but incorrect claps as per GEN. Correct clasp on V1.

@johnlogan Thank you so much for sharing the photos of your new purchase! Does the clasp come with the microadjustment function ?

@johnlogan Thanks for the info on this. I just added the modder for that bracelet/clasp to add to the build since I am doing a RG gold wrapping on it. I didn't even realize the difference on the clasp so I appreciate you pointing it out.

It's a typical factory rope-a-dope move by the factory and, again, introduce the correct claps on V3. I would love a working power reserve and a cleaner looking movement as on V2, but the order is set and the watch is on its way back ,fully serviced.
Your 5712/1R will look insane with a fresh wrapped RG, clone movement and correct lockable micro adjustment system claps. I need that for hot days.
Can't wait for your pics brother.

The face looks better with the power reserve on full vs empty. If you buy the non working power reserve , ask your TD to just the hand.

Hi there buddy, could you explain how incorrect the deployment clasp is? I'm struggling to see how they've messed up with it....and how big a difference it is from the v1?

Bro it’s a complete different claps! V2 don’t have the micro adjustments and it’s fold over deployment buckle.
V1 is a connecting buckle that make up the Calatrava Cross!

the second photo looks like the watchmaker was eating cheetos while crafting it.I am not really sure. I do think that PP has the upper hand over 3kF on these. I have this one from PP, which is considered grey and it's awesome man. The plating and color look great. I am not sure if the pics are weird from Puretime, but that dial in the pic looks off. Not Grey at all. But you can never be sure until you see QCs. For example, I ordered the 3KF dial below and the QC came back as hot mess lol. You can see for yourself what I ordered and then what the QC looked like.
RG is really hard to gauge in photos. I have this issue every time I post one for sale. I love the grey dial, but I believe the grey dial only comes on the model with the leather strap. Whereas the brown dial comes with the full RG bracelet. I have ordered the RG 2022 full metal bracelet version and a clasp/strap of the correct 2022 model. Once it's built with the SW set and RG wrapped, I will try to do a video as it will show off the color a bit better once complete.

It will fit but you need to bend the pins! It’s a two person job and a watch hammer!
Hey there,
so in order to get the perfect Nautilus RG 5712 i have to order V1 AND V2 and have to take the new Clasp of V1 and the Dial of V1 and put the on the V2 version??? Is that even possible?

V1 is out of stock! Wait for V3 that will probably have the correct bracelet/clasp. Hopefully the clone movement will be upgraded a bit as well.

In your experience, how long do factories take to update models between Vx and V(x+1) ?
