Thanks but based on my experience pics cannot entirely reflect the real dial colors of good Nautilus reps. Eg. now I see the dial color of your watch as bluish grey on my phone but I suspect this is not entirely the true color in real life. Or is it? That's why I asked for your impressions of your watch.

Anyone know if gen bridges fit on the clone? It looks like the gen bridges have a space for a case screw that doesnt exist on the clone but it almost looks like it could fit

Bluish grey is right with a tinge of teal(green)

Do tell who did the mods. Where can we get one :)) as i understand watchbuff and hkr from wechat are a no no. Help us not get ripped off :))
I will be speaking with the admins and mods to see if we can bring in Chinese modders who are willing to sell to the international market.

Chinese modding is a very sophisticated market and they prefer to do in land. They have 2 billion people and they don’t need to sell internationally to do well.

Watch this space and hopefully we can bring in some good Chinese modders that are reliable and can speak English

For rep plates, the reason for the delay is because the first and easiest solution was to do engraving straight on the 240 movement

1) they failed to do that because apparently the plates used on the movement was hard to machine

2) they then decided to use a copper-bronze alloy as it’s easier to machine and as a finishing touch, plate it with nickel.

This picture is the unfinished bridges
