Updated PPF Nautilus 5711 V4 is here !!!

[grillbrill]

I wish both factories would release new versions, so that users will be comfortable in making their decision. For users who do not want mods, the question of whether it is ppf or 3kf is a huge dilemma… (including me)

To each their own. I like the blue PPFv4 dial more than that of 3KF.

3KF is incredible! Really gen like on the wrist. Very very thin!

Yes me too and the proportions of case are more "gen" too ! also the quality is better . PPF absolutely . always in waiting in PPF V5 !

If only they fixed bezel and crown, they would sell so many.

I'm pretty sure they're already selling so many, which is why they don't care about fixing bezel and crown

I would have one if they fix the crown, waiting for the v5 ))

What mods would you guys recommend one get on a 3KF V2?

Thank you so much for the photo.i know the white dial is better looking but I prefer the blue color. I have been reading everything but still difficult to pick after your photo))) even thinking about the 5712 but too dressy for me (((

very simple ,
If you are planning to do a modded watch and pay the extra, then the pf is a better base.....in that case you can get a quite convincing watch ....
Without modding it, and spending the extra buggs in it, the 3kf is a better choice imo....

Have they fixed the super white hands on the 3kf. It’s been a while since I owned one.

Maybe a noob question but anyone know if it would be a fairly easy swap to drop a PF bezel onto a PPF without needing to do mods to get it to fit?

Even if possible (which I ignore) it wouldn't make sense because the pf case if superior in any regards to the ppf case specially in the crown guard area....
It would be a better idea to use the pf with a ppf dial/hands combo eventually....

Thank you! Thanks to this forum I was able to make my decision.

How has it held up? Is the crown or case thickness a concern for you, or at all noticeable?

 

[Morofra]

Hi to everyone! But when will be product the V5 ? Common PPF Lets do it !

 

[azertyski]

I don´t know if it´s a V3 or V4...but it´s stunning

 

[melodicnemo]

I just found a way to 100% silence the rotor. But DO NOT try to unscrew the rotor! It's screw is only glued on decoration, I scratched mine while trying to unscrew.

The rotor is press fitted into its bearing, you can gently lift it with a screwdriver.
Then I took a .45mm syringe needle and generously applied 3 tiny droplets of Molykote DX Lithium Paste onto the ball bearing slit, then pushed it between the bearing balls with the needle tip. I put a small strip of Kapton tape on the underside of the rotor to cancel its resonance which worked surprisingly well (I thought of this trick from my drumming times, when we used tape to shorten cymbal decay).
Pressed the rotor on again with a plastic rod, spun a few times, wiped off residue paste and reassembled.

Recommend this fix 10/10, beginner friendly, just make sure you got the proper case opening tool, mine fit like 60% exact and was a pain.

Thanks for sharing

Hey man, this info silenced rotor is for 3kf clone movement?
