Nautilus Comparison PF vs. MKF

[BlackJaguar]

Thanks, as soon as I can get a decent camera I'll post pics. The bracelet fits my wrist (7.5 inch) just fine with no gaps. Sizing the bracelet was easy, I thought it would be hard because some people were having difficulties. Perhaps they had PFs. I did manage to loose one of the small inserts though while sizing the bracelet. The only problem I have right now is with clasp. One side is difficult to open sometimes, other times it opens easily. I think it is binding somewhere, just have to figure out where.

Good to hear. I have the PF and it was a PAIN sizing the bracelet. It took me close to two hours due to the difficulty of removing the pins. I remember the MK v5 bracelet took about 10 minutes. I love the finish and fit of the MK.

If they create the DWO, I think I will end up selling my PF and pulling the trigger on a MK. In my opinion, it's the better watch. Shoutout to Glaude for his wonderful post about it.

No, I used the following tool:

For me, it's much easier and reduces the risk of scratching the bracelet.

Received my MKF V6 yesterday. One side of the clasp is hard to open so I'm going to file of some of the metal that's causing the problem. Other than that everything else is great.

Can you please post pics?

In my experience with this exact same tool, this is more difficult than the pin and hammer method. The little interchangeable tips on this tool are easy to bend and break, but if it worked good for you, that the only thing that matter

BlackJaguar and Glaude THX !! I've the hammer and also the tool BlackJaguar has used, it was a one deal package from Amazon. When I have bought the MK PP I will try both

For the experts, do we know whether we can replace a MK bracelet with a PF bracelet (or vice versa) without modifications?

What's the chance that MK will fix the misspellings on the movement plate in the V6? Does anyone know if the factory is aware of the mistake? Seems like something they could easily change in a new batch.

It's impossible to know if they have a V7 planned or even if they'll just update the V6 to fix those mistake. Since the mistakes changed between the V5 and V6, they could be aware of them. But the movement changed between those two, so it could also be for that very reason (meaning they didn't pay attention in both batches)

When the MKF prototype was initially shown it had four (4) misspelled words on the movement, "isochronism", "Geneve", "adjustment", and "cold". MKF corrected "isochronism" and "Geneve" with the V5 and "cold" was corrected with the V6. So that leaves "adjustment" uncorrected. This is unacceptable to say the least, since all these misspelled discrepancies were pointed out prior to final production.

What the MKF V5 and V6 has going for them right now is it's blue dial, which is considered the best rep 5711 blue dial. Most buyers' eyes will be focused on the dial and won't notice the misspelled "adjustment", since it is on the back and sometimes covered by the rotor.

Some macros of the spongebob/@Keylog DWO in the MKF:

Well that confirms BIONONE's statement that it will not fit. I'm sure the DWO team will do better with the MKF DWO that they're currently working on.

Did some caliper comparisons of the thickness of PF versus MKF:

Talk about variations on their batches, mine (MK v5) was measured with a micrometer at 9.012mm

slaughterer62 , which version of the MKF is that shown in the above photos, the caliper comparison and that with the spongebob/keylog DWO? Thank you.

 

[slaughterer62]

Latest version.

 

[MisterFancypantsthesecond]

Latest version.

Question. I've been waiting (too long) for that V6F version. Now is there the MK6 version that just came our and a new PPF version. What would you suggest? I've heard that the PPF dial is way too dark, but very thin and nice finish on the case, whilst the MKV6 has a way better dial..

PFF is looking nice!

There's complete threads with detailed analysis on this watch. Just browse the PP subforum. Btw there's a V2 of the blue
