New patek philippe nautilus from ppf

[LuminorReptar]

Thank for correct me.
I see bezel on right is bigger than left.
So the dial on left is gen, how about the case?

No worries - I'm actually not sure if its a gen case or not... I presume it is a rep case but I didn't notice a difference.

Maybe Scottymagic can confirm if he has a gen case too hahah..

I'm wondering whether the bezel could be modded to be closer to gen specs in terms of thickness. There's really talented modders here doing awesome things on vintage Rolex, Daytona, APs. Now the shape of a 5711 bezel is altogether so simple and so complex that I'm not sure whether it's possible to get something nice.

This’s Correct Gen suppose 8:3 thickness

I’ll have this in my hands next week.

Will do a review then.

Looks decent in pictures but I feel that the dial and hands finishing is not the best...when compared with for example VSF Omega

Gen varies between 8.3 and 8.5 mm. There are many posts, youtube videos of gen, and Chrono24 listings that have the Nautilus 5711 measured at 8.5mm.

That actually look very decent. DWO also look great there. Is that PPF, and which TD?

That is PPF and it doesn't matter which TD it is from. TD's aren't factories. In any case, KS watches is a td here

how often do you want to repeat it over and over?

*supporting vendor, but close enough

Until we say "yes, all knowing master" :lol:

I think it need an angle modification of the chamfer around the case to get to the correct width

Thank you. Good to know.I will say, though, that i've had different experience swith the quality of the QCs depending on TD. That's the only reason I ask. I've had a lot of success with Ryan from InTime.

My thoughts exactly, but I'm not sure how feasible this is to do so while respecting the geometry of the bezel which is both nicely rounded but somewhat "angular at the same time and remain even all around the bezel. This shape is really a piece of poetry

Of course it’s PPF.

I am the dealer. Lol

It is a difficult modification to reshape a Nautilus or Royal Oak bezel, not to be undertaken without precision lapping equipment and even then it will take alot of time. I would suggest that people look through their graveyard of past Nautilus parts and use a substitute bezel from another manufacturer if they are concerned about the width of their PPF Nautilus bezels. I would surely advise against anybody "going at" a Nautilus bezel reshape project with a Dremel.

 

[stanevo6]

slaughterer62 I think I agree with you. no Dremel

Ha! Well played, sir...well played. I should have read that more carefully.

Jesus, some of you guys. First date wheel mods now bezel mods? And you still do this as a "hobby only" and not to flex with your cool, expensive Patek? Lol.

To be fair, after some years I have to admit the above is correct. I don't know exactly why, but with some websites (*cough! Josh *cough!) I always received watches that had issues, whether we talk about impossible to unscrew bracelets, to cranky winding movements, to some tiny specks of rust or slightly but noticeably misaligned markers that didn't show in the QC pics. Whereas with Ryan I have always received top shelf watches. Same goes with Toro, the PF I have came from him and as you can see all the markers are spot on.

Modding is as much of a hobby as collecting watches. I do it and it has nothing to do with flexing. Judge not lest ye be judged

It's part of the game for some of us. Not much of a hobby if its just buying watches and nit-picking on the forums is it?
