Fresh Pick-Up from Local watchmaker for low crown mod. Unfortunately it was only possible for my crown to be shorten by 0,7mm. More is not possible, otherwise i won't get any flesh to screw it down again

Having to mods Watches in 2021/2 is ridiculous. If modders can retrospectively make the crown issue significantly better, than it should be a straight forward design change for the factory to fix at source....at this price point it shouldn’t need fundamental mods

They have to leave something for V2 and V3.

What are the chances of future versions having a working power reserve?

I see geektime has listed the grey dial version under new releases. Any thoughts? Looks stunning to me

https://geektime.cc/product/nautilus-5712-41mm-ss-ppf-grey-dial-on-ss-bracelet/

Dude, this isn't the new one we've been discussing here.
This is an old crappy version from years ago - look at the positioning of the 4, 6 o'clock indices.
This dealer is trying to fool people into buying old versions at new prices?

I've never done business with GeekTime, but they trying to pull crap like that? They shouldn't be on the TD (“Trusted" Dealer) list, period.

I've had this beautiful piece for about 2 months now. Albeit not worn daily, it's been getting its fair share of wrist time. The watch keeps great great time, and is just so pleasant to look at.

Moon phase clicks through a push at 7 o'clock, but mine doesn't move when I adjust time through crown - not sure if this is how it should be.

I would love to retrofit the stainless bracelet with a leather or rubber strap. So far I've seen only one example in this thread. If anyone else has had successful attempts, please do share.

This is my gen watch and what's different between gen & replica?

Rep has:

- bluer dial
- fatter 6 and 8 o'clock markers
- sunken moon disc
- uneven minute dots
- protruding crown
- fake power reserve
- slightly fatter bezel
- worse finishing of the case, the markers, the hands and the bracelet
- less flexible bracelet
​​​​​​​- non clone movement with glued decor plates
