Where to find good Nautilus Reps?

Looks pretty similar to the newer blue dial. Overall I think this dial is quite impressive. The colour looks very good. Dots are a touch large, and markers a touch square, but overall, it's very nice.

The date wheel font is the other bit, as noted previously.

Good bang for the buck at the price, I'd say.

Here's a 2017 gen model for reference, which I think is the dial they were going for:

That gen dial (latest version) in the lighting rep pic was taken would look more grayish then
rep dial.

Yeah, I always find the specific shading / colouration of these dials sooo tricky, particularly when compounded with different cameras picking up different white levels, adding different levels of saturation, etc.

Being a Londoner, I generally see this watch in indoor / office lighting, so that's what I'm most familiar with. I could very well be wrong with respect to the colouration. I just recognized the overall tone, but moreso the newer models have the wider-spaced text in the logo, a wider lume area in the markers, a wider/thicker date-window surround or bevel, and larger dots, versus the say 2015 or earlier models.

As an example of the difficulty I have with the colouration, here are three pics of a 2017 watch in a single position under fixed lighting, taken seconds apart, and all three show drastically different colouration:

I think the Nautilus (gen) is one of the most beautiful watches on the market, but i haven't seen a truly satisfying replique of the dial yet.

Yes.. it also depends on the angle pic was taken. In a bright light that dial (newest edition) should look almost gray.
in my opinion the version before that was much nicer.
Its same with AP 15400 . But not they seem to go back to more vibrant blue color.

Hi there, I just asked MK maker about this, all watches except movement are ready to release. Once the movement is ready, they will release the new PP ASAP. Maybe end of this month :)

What happened to the picture(s) of the MKF 5711 you submitted along your post? Did you remove them?

No, I didn't. Have no idea what happened...

Perhaps it was removed by RWI admin, they probably mistook the pictures as being QC pictures. If you can, please repost the pictures or any other pictures of the MKF PP 5711. Thank you.

That dial looks pretty similar to the pf in terms of blue tone and lume colour

9.22mm is disappointing to me. With the new movement, they should have been able to best or at least match PF.

I mean, it's much thinner than the previous MK, but that's still fatter than it should be. That's almost as fat as the ones with the deco plates.

crap.

I was holding out such hope for this one. They knew where the PF was for thickness, since it's been on the market for ages, and weren't able to come up with anything better.
