PLEASE HELP Identify this Nautilus

[aprooholic]

Hello friends,
I have been looking for an MBK/MBW Nautilus 3700 for ages. Today I have been offered what the sellers says to be an MBK 3700. The only issue I have is that I am unable to find pictures of MBK 3700, and from the pictures the seller sent me, it looks like a BP Nautilus 3800 to me. Could anyone give me some more feedback? Thank you very much!

Bro, never heard of an MBK anything except for the mall in BKK Thailand where we used to buy cheap reps before the gubmint shuttered our fun. I even searched TDs out of curiosity to find such a named maker. Are you sure they exist? I'm certainly no rep patek guru, just my thoughts...

The 3700 doesn't have a second hand. Also, from the photos it does not look like 42 mm, I believe it's a BP3800

It can be a MBK 3800 or BP 3800, definitely not a 3700.
By the way the MBK/MBW 3700 had central sweep seconds.... not accurate but the way it was.

This is a MBW 3700

Thank you guys for your help! Today, I have been offered this one. I don't know if it is a MBW, at least the dial is different from Riverwind85 picture. But it looks like a 42mm so could it be a 3700? Do you happen to have any idea of which factory? Thank you in advance guys!

I need a better picture of the thickness.
It looks like the Chinese clone of the MBW, but the one with the right hands.
It definitely looks like the right diameter

The first one is 100% a BP 3800. The big giveaway is the green hue on the dial. Other than that it’s a great watch, if you don’t mind that greenish tint. It’s $188 on all TDs, in case you want to know the price range.

The second one looks like a crappy DH Gate one, I’m afraid. All Nautilus bad reps have got a minute dot on the right of the date window, contrary to the good ones which have the date window closer to the right side of the case. Maybe I’m wrong and turns out it’s an amazing watch, but I see too many red flags on that one.

I’d get the first one (depending on price) and pass on the second one.
