Nautilus 5712 RG PPF

so it make sense to wait then.... Since I know there is a new clasp type, I am not happy with the old style...
I just found this mod:
Nautilus MOD
Anyone know if its worth it?

Just a few observations after 24 hours:

Lume is amazing, I will post a few shots later, bracelet feels firm and have a “GEN” steel feel to it. The craftsmanship here is very nice. Kudos the boys in Guangzhou. The watch also has a heft to it, it feels heavier vs its steel counterparts. I will compare later to see if this is the case or if it’s the “firmness” of the watch that set it apart. Its very well made.

Crystal is also high quality that complements the dial nicely. The dial is a work of art. I have tried to compare it to GENs online and I struggle to differentiate or find any obvious flaws.

The rose gold plating is also surprisingly nice and very GEN looking.

Movement is smooth and silent.

I’m very happy with this purchase.

Is it PPF v1

Is it PPF v1

It looks like the V1, not the V2.

I am eyeing this piece, but nothing more annoying that doing a V2 and doing the old clasp w/o the microadjust.

 

[johnlogan]

Is it PPF v1

Yes, PP V1 correct claps, non clone movement !

I would wait for V3

 

[johnlogan]

PP V1 is about 40 grams less heavy vs GEN all links included. GEN is 195g! Not bad at all.

A few GEN pics for ref

Amazing thread. Loving these updates! What a crying shame about the clasp issue....is there any way of getting a message out to the factories that they've messed up with it? As I'm getting major ostrich head stuck in the sand vibes off them.

Shocked at the weight, very impressed. Doubt we'll ever see these in tungsten but at that weight it's not much of a compromise! Plus craftsmanship at the level of these pics seems ss is essential. Imagine to get the weight up they did the v3 with just a tungsten clasp singlehandedly overcoming the issue every tungsten watch has we'd have to send a collective apology to the factories

Stunning pics @johnlogan
