PPF
any trusted dealer can source this watch. Now go read the thread instead of just enjoying the beautiful pictures

The bezel is a bit oversized, you'll need to go back and read the comparative threads with pictures.
Do we have a comparison somewhere between the PPF blue dial vs gen? Just the dials? Wanted to see if there was a major colour difference and going with the white is a better option if you want to stay as close to the gen as possible

There are some comparisons between the gen and PPF blue dials, you'll just have to search for them. However to save you time, the white PPF dial is considered the best dial color match to the gen, blue or white.
Thanks. When was the PPF v1 white dial released? Are we expecting a V2 white anytime soon?

Check the TD websites for the release date of the PPF v1 white dial, its usually given on their captions. No there won't be a v2 white dial, it is that good, they didn't have to improve it. The blue needed improvement, so it is a v2.
Yes but generally the thicker bezel and the protruding crown can be improved, probably if they do decide to launch a newer version. Then it would be a super rep.

This review was chaos hehe
Thanks mate. Can only envy you for having a gen Nautilus. The question I would like to ask is how you feel when wearing the gen vs wearing the rep. Do you feel any different. I mean its like 95% close to the gen. Small details are different. So how do you feel when you wear them. Do you think about it being a gen or rep you are wearing.
Thank you for the compliment!
Well, guess I feel relief....
You'd say it's good to have a gen Nautilus but it's not an easy decision to wear it unless in sparse occasions. I'd say that having this option is amazing.
There are indeed some differences - as already stated, as well bracelet more stiff on rep, but overall weight and feel are quite the same. Looking forward to the new blue, especially if it comes with clone movmt -- which BTW was an amazing feat !!
cheers :wave-1:

The PPF replicates a different version of the dial so there's no point comparing with this gen, you'd need a 2019 gen.
Any recent or additional thoughts on the topic of how close the ppf is to your gen in both look and feel? Could you tell the difference when handling with your eyes shut? Could your mates tell? I really doubt ANYONE could tell on wrist, including watchmakers.

Just because you can‘t - doesn‘t mean that others aren‘t also capable of doin so.
Read the threads regarding the PPF and you will get an idea about how it feels compared to a gen and what is off. The answer is right on here.

Can't answer the first part as I do not have any 5711s. As for whether a decent rep would be called out by people around you, IMO i feel it depends on your personal "branding".
If you're known to be one who wears expensive watches (like Chaos and his gen 5711), I don't think your mates would tell unless they are on this forum or know what to look out for.
Point is, regardless of whether they have gens or been around gens, people who do not spend time looking at /researching reps wouldn't know what to look out for unless side by side.
So if you're buying a rep cause you like the gen's features but its just impossible to get from ADs, then just get the rep and be happy with it - since its around 80% close to the gen.
But if you wanna show your mates that you have these hyped pieces, then get a couple of cheaper gens (rollies/APs) first before wearing a decent rep on the wrist
