Thanks for the confirmation on the gen side. It seems that the 3KF clone movement starts changing at around 11pm. I imagine the difference is caused by looser tolerances on the clone vs. the gen.

Nautilus 7118 3KF
- Thread starter Swiss_goupil
- Start date
The date change transition period can be slightly altered by adjusting the length and therefore tension of the date spring. Even in the gen this is not consistent for transition date changes and one hour also happens in some of the gen 324s which I’ve seen.

Curious about this as well but, as this is a ladies' model, info about the matter is hard to come by.

I don't know why he wrote in Spanish. Sorry. Can someone tell me please what size the 3KF 7118 has between 3 and 9 o'clock? and thickness?

Not sure they do a RG version, and if they do, the gold colour probably won't match the gen the same as the SS version match. I'm considering the white dial here for my wife. It's one of the better ladies reps I've seen.
I agree, so I ordered the steel white dial version last week, reminding myself to stay away from gold plated reps...

A v2 of the rep is apparently now available. It doesn't say what difference, if any, from v1, but the blue dial seems much better in the Biao pictures than ones I saw on Trusty's site (for the v1 version). The white dial seems okay but doesn't have the slightly silver shimmer of the gen. Seems like a pretty solid lady's watch.

Be lovely to see a comparison between this and gen. There's many women who would love a good rep who can't afford genA v2 of the rep is apparently now available.

What’s your opinion of the watch? Dealer pics of the blue and silver dial both look interesting, but the wave pattern in the dial seems like it changes color under different lighting conditions, which is hard to discern in pictures. At first I thought the silver dial was more gen like, but the blue seems to have nice contrast.Just thought I’d add some wrist shots if my latest pickup.

I think overall 3kf did a great job. Not seen many of these around.
The blue dial has really good sunburst and is definitely my fave out of the 3 colours.
Here’s another pictures which shows the dial under a different light.
