I saw a gen in person yesterday in a window display and it was SO thin. This still seems to have some heft to it. Small difference but to someone who knows anything about watches I think they would notice quickly

Hahahaha you cant see 0,4 mm.

I am concerning more on Crown.
Thickness is acceptable since my PF sit very comfortable on my wrist.

I don't know what baffles me more, if the people flipping the table in rage for 0.38mm or the people commenting about Darude 's history thinking it was real.

This will be me when the blue dial disappoints me though

DOG..

We all are looking for the Rep that "closest" to the genuine but at last, it is your choice to make.
$65K for the Gen , is it out of your reach? Is it worth to buy? Your choice.
$500 for this rep and IMO it is pretty damm close already, you like it or not , it is your choice

I don't want us all to lower the expectation to have a good rep close to gen , that would get the factory to improve but please enjoy and get excite when there are new closer rep show up.
Only complaining is not fun..

Bro use your main account and talk to him.=]

Depends if the PF crown fits the PPF tube, if not hopefully the PF tube is the same tap/size as the PPF and fits the case.

I'm wondering whether it would be possible to trim the crown and tube as an alternative

I received my QC pictures and i have some questions...

First, please, confirm me that is the PPF model, as i see the writting and the crown seems to be PPF but im not an expert in PP models.

Second, my biggest afraid with that was the alignement of 12h and 9h. I have been reading about QC issues with this factory, but i think that they are pretty fine.

Third, i just wanted to share it to increase our knowledge and to show to other people this new model????

This started out as such a fun thread, everyone excited for seemingly the best Nautilus effort to date. However the last ten or more times I've logged on, the thread has just been full of the thick and the retarded talking utter nonsense. Which is their right, this is only an internet forum after all, but I certainly don't have to listen to it.

So I'm out of here, enjoy your squabbling. I shall not be wasting my time taking photos and measurements of my PPF when it arrives in the next day or two, I shall just wear it and enjoy it for what it is - a great looking watch.

Dummy officially spat, boom!

This has happened several times lately, and I must admit it's one of the things that sometimes holds me off from posting full reviews or even wristshots in specific threads (the "What XXXXX are you wearing today?" are fine, as there's only positive views in those). But you are right, it seems like this threads tend to crawl into a contest of who can spot more flaws, which is quite a dick move, in a replica forum.

On the other hand, if you have been long enough in this hobby then you know that people come and go, and you surely know how to tell which opinion is valid and which one is not. I tend to completely dismiss 99% of these comments as I don't care at all. I still look at my wrist and see my (allegedly) subpar DJF Datejust and think it's a gorgeous watch, you know?

(and if you can't bear the weight of wearing that super 8.83mm thick PPF Nautilus with apocalyptically misaligned markers you are getting, maybe you can put it in a box with your GMT 6542 and send it my way, I will give them all the love they deserve... ;-P )
