First, sorry for my poor English (some wrong typo and grammar)
but just thinking of someone looking for a good PP Nautilus especially PP 5711 from PF.
This might be a little help and more information on this thread.

I’m such a big fan of PP Nautilus, not 5711 in the first but 5712
(if you guy has any link for me on good REP 5712 would be nice)
however, we are all know there are not even average quality of Rep 5712 in the market.

For $400-500 compare to a $44,000 Gen (latest price for Brand new 2017 in my hometown),
I’m not looking for 1:1 5711 but at least should be as thin, well-made as possible and look nice at the case-back.

This is one of the website of GEN PP5711 I've compare with.
http://www.regaltime.co.uk/patek-philippe/patek-philippe-nautilus-57111a

PS. Other 5711 versions such as SW200, MKF v.4 and BP v.1, they have their own good and flaws.
Pls check them to suit your needs.

So, for months, I have been searching through all (I guess) the 5711 threads
and at that time I think I’ll wait for V6F factory and hopefully it’ll release soon.

I'm recommended those who’re looking to buy PF 5711 Nautilus,
At least you definitely should read the threads below.
(Thank you all for great threads!!!)

Then, https://forum.replica-watch.info/threads/pf-nautilus-review.405284/

This thread came, I went through and for other noob same as myself.

For your own risk. TSwatch is not TD

but for most TD, the price of PF is $498 + $25 shipping.

TSWATCH was offering at $478 and at that time they even give 16% discount on PF 5711.
So, $401+$25 shipped. OK that’s a deal breaker.
(The % discount has been changing from time to time as of now 8% discount)

Ordered and get QC Pics was quite fast in days and I accepted,
I’ve ask for advice on -5s / day running which is ok. 5711 PF : QC Pictures and else.

Some comments on the PF 5711 as normal is not perfect alignment at 12 o’clock
but trust me and @Nivka “That won't be noticeable on the wrist”

Let’s see those pics

I got my package from DHL without any tax charge on 18 Dec (6 days) which is quite fast
The watch came in nice Patek Philppe paper box, The watch is sized to 6" wrist according to my requested.
(Thank to Tswatch, they know what are they doing)

Unpacking with excited and satisfied. PP 5711 PF is great solid watch out of the box, look real nice finishing.

So even I said I don’t care the misalignment at 12(really?),
I check it first thing and yep no big deal. Pass.
Actually, the marker is not misaligned but the quality of each marker, size of the lume’s space in each marker and how they fill up the lume is different
but Human’s eye seems to be very good so you’ll see it miss placed.

BTW, The LUME is very nice. I'll give a shot and add later

At the Back, try not to compare to Gen please.
Just look nice enough for me.
And it might be lucky for me for this watch,
the movement : Miyota 9015 is silent even in the quite office environment which is very good for me.

Bracelet feel solid and well made.

In different light, my wrist is 6” flat and it wore comfortably
,So small wrist will be just fine with 5711.

It might look big in picture but in reality, it is not at all,
PP 5711 is slightly bigger than my Rolex 36mm Datejust .

Few bad thing I have to mention about PF 5711 is the Clasp which is really tight and quite cheap looking and feeling (inside).
Some of little sharp edge when set the time but not that bad just to let you know.

Conclusion

This PP 5711 from PF factory is sure not as good as GEN nor 1:1 Super Rep,
but If you doubt about is this a good watch for $4-500?
My answer (only me) will be definitely being worth I paid for.

this is a great post!

I support your conclution. The dail and case is superb for what you pay, and it is close enough to a gen for me to wear it comfortly.

I did also notice the bracelet beeing a bit flimsy and cheep, but to be fair i compare it to an gen Rolex Submariner 2016 model...
I have actually read reveiws of the GEN 5711 commenting that the bracelet does not feel very soild. But agian, compared to what... AP RO or Rolex Sub? Its an thinner bracelet then both.

I am very happy with my PF and do not regret it one second, even thou i paid 520USD.

I owned 4 Gen rolexs and 1 Pam.
Do not trust me but for comfortably, this PF is about equal.
But like I said, the finishing on clasp is not good.

Yes. It is comfortable, but just feels a litle bit cheaper then a new SEL Submariner bracelet.

sounds to good to be true, but still a 500$ Price tag is very hefty...

I agree, $500 is hefty.

And It will be too good to be true if we expect this Rep to be as good or close as Gen or even super Rep.
But this watch is quite as good as I expected from what Ive paid for.
