Took some more pics. The 28 seems off, there are a couple dates that are bold as well. My 6 has some printing issues. But it's clear when comparing to the V6F Nautilus and the ZF Aquanaut, that having a large date window and date font to match makes a more commanding presence of the date window as a whole. PF also has issues with how deep the date sits.

Do your Aquanauts/Nauts also 'wind' while your screwing in the crown?

Got my 2 datewheels today and one of them has slight black markings around the inside area (see pic at 1,9,24). If I get this one installed, do you guys think that, once installed, the black areas are visible through the date window?

Just received my DW today!

Question: What kind of glue should be used to glue it on top?

Thank you for that, Nipe. I ordered mine a week ago. I received a confirmation email, but no additional follow-up. They did they follow-up with you to forward a tracking number once it was shipped?

majwilliams0308 care to share the specs for your watch (is it a straight PF Blue 5711 w/ DW, or did you install a Prof. Xtal?)

It’s the stock crystal - which is just fine IMO. I have the PF v2 Nautilus but I don’t think they changed the xtal on it.

When did PF release a version 2 of the Nautilus? Would you please share the link? I just purchased one, and would prefer to tell the TD to hold of shipping it if a new version will be released soon.

The whole V2 thing was made up by a few non TDs. It was more a silent update (better brushing/polishing and foil on the polished surfaces...) with no major updates - so far the consensus.

Dont hold your order back as you will get the latest batch of the watch as the bespoken "update" was brought up around july this year - so you can assume there will be no first batch watches left. Even then the difference is not proven side by side - just from members that had ordered the PF at different times.

So don't be confused by this V2 thing and enjoy your PF (hopefully with a DWO hehe)
