Do you think there will be a Tiffany blue version of this rep? I should be thinking of my wife sometimes ...
you should ask buff to make them ahead of the official release

Ladies and gentlemen,
Just saw on biao that 3KF recently introduced three Nautilus 7118 models - white, grey and blue. They look really good (except the blue)

This arrived last week. Quality is excellent IMO. Overall look and feel is great, love the grey wave dial. No idea how it stacks up relative to the gen, which I haven't seen in person, but the rep feels high quality.
Watch is 9mm thick, 0.4mm thicker than gen at 8.6mm.
Thank you for your pictures! Have you ever experienced any DW problem? It looks like there is a problem with date transitions in the video here https://trustytimewatch.io/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=39_199&products_id=23855

Just found this thread. IMO this a very underrated piece. Looking at the pics it seems a veeery high quality rep. The thickness of the dial seems on point.

It’s a pity that a blue dial one is missing.
What do you of if in these months you have it on your wrist?

It's my wife's watch, and she loves it. Excellent timekeeper and easily among the best reps that I have. Buy with confidence!
I wanted to follow up on this comment. I'm thinking of picking up one of these for my lady friend. Wondering how the 3KF has held up on your Mrs' wrist over the last few months? Any issues? Still keeping good time? I have a 3KF aquanaut, and haven't noticed any issues with the movement other than the rotor whizzing a bit if I swish the watch.
I bought a 3KF 7118 for my lady friend, and a 3KF 5711 (modded with buff dial, hands, and datewheel) for myself. They both arrived today. Overall, I'm very impressed with the 7118. It is a hair over 9mm thick (so a little thicker than the gen). This seems odd since the 5711 is 8.6mm exactly the same as the gen. It does seem like the date isn't quite centered in the date window on the 7118. I'm not sure if that's something that others have noticed, or maybe I just got a less than ideal example. Regardless, here are a few pics of the two side by side for comparison:
Wife's 7118 just arrived as well. Question for those who have 3kf 5711, does yours have the same quick change date function? Or it charges around 11pm and quick change around 12 midnight?

The date starts to change at 11pm and flips completely at midnight on the 3KF 7118, 5711, and Aquanaut (I have all three). These watches all share the same 324SC clone movement.
I’m not sure. I did a bit of googling but couldn’t find any answer. Tagging a few of the experts here:

Does the gen Patek 324 S C (found the the 5711 and Aquanaut) have an instantaneous date change at midnight?
No it does not.
I have a couple of gen 5711s and the date all start rolling 15-30min before the change.
