Nautilus 5711 DDF vs VF

Chinese New Year holiday almost ended, some factories now accept orders, and all of them will be back to the business several days later.

A while ago, many people are talking about a factory, which is Victory. They produce Rolex replicas and Nautilus 5711, they also claim that they use the same watch parts as previous Clean Factory, so, many customers who want to get the replica Rolex watches whose quality is close to that of Clcean will choose the ones from Victory, which is also called V or VF.

Besides the Rolex, VF also produces replica Nautilus 5711, many people say this was the project of Clean, before being forced to be closed, Clean already started to make the Nautilus, but before the watch came out, this factory was closed, so VF inherited this project.

How about the Nautilus 5711 made by VF? Today, I am going to show you a brief comparison on the Nautilus 5711 between DDF and VF. It is the blue model, because this color is the most popular one.

When talking about Nautilus 5711, many factories will be mentioned, PPF, 3KF, DDF, BBF, VF and some custom-made versions with SW dial or BUFF dial. There are too many choices, not too good for our customers, you must know which factory makes the best one. First, I tell you that not too many people buy the one from PPF and 3KF. PPF does not have deep engravings on the movement plates. 3KF has a big dial color difference.

Two watches below, the left one is from VF, the right one is from DDF. Both have a blue dial, but VF dial looks purplish. Both dial colors are close to that of the genuine watch. Why they look different? It is said that the genuine Nautilus 5711 with 324 movement has a dial color that is close to the left watch, the genuine Nautilus 5711 with 330 movement has a blue dial color close to the right watch, while DDF on the right indeed has a clone 330 movement. However, I do not like the purplish-blue dial on VF. I prefer the dial color on DDF and BBF. I did a review on BBF 5711 before, please read it at https://www.susanreviews.com/2025/11/10/bbf-5711/.

Nautilus 5711 Blue Dial VF vs DDF

On the dial, there is another difference between these factories. That’s the luminescence color.

On DDF, the luminescence on hour markers and hands has color difference.

On BBF and VF, the luminescence on hour markers and hands is almost the same in color.

However, on DDF, BBF and VF, the date font is slightly thinner than that on SW dial. So, if in pursuit of perfection, many customers will pay for a CNC case and replace the dial with a SW dial.

The Patek Philippe logo on the buckle, right one is from DDF. Which is closer to that of the genuine watch?

About the case thickness, I measured all of them, DDF 5711 has a case thickness of 8.67mm. BBF 5711 has a case thickness of 8.32mm. The case thickness of VF 5711 is 8.4mm. The case of BBF 5711 has the most accurate thickness.

VF 5711 Case Thickness

Conclusion:

Do not need to feel confused, whether buying from DDF or BBF, it is a good choice. If you prefer a purplish-blue dial, then buy the VF 5711. This blue Nautilus 5711 replica in the market is too hot, but the dial is hard to be made to be perfect, every factory has dial color difference on this watch. Considering all aspects and cost, just choose the one from BBF.

OR Factory Seamaster Bronze Gold Green

Our new year holiday just begins. Tonight is New Year’s Eve, a wonderful time for family reunion. I do not feel happy everyday, even at this special moment, nobody cares what has happened to me, it has been a long time for me not to laugh loudly.

Today, I want to bring you a replica watch made by OR Factory. About OR Factory and its Seamaster replica watches, I introduced them before, please read at https://www.susanreviews.com/2025/12/08/or-factory-seamaster/ and https://www.susanreviews.com/2026/01/26/seamaster-no-time-to-die-vs-vs-or/. This replica watch is another Omega Seamaster from OR, it is a bronze gold model with a green face, which is not a new model, VS published it before, and later they updated its movement.

In the second half of 2025, there are several important moments, for example, Clean was closed, VS published V2 Datejust, APS published 4401 movement with free-sprung balance, the birth of the DD8806 movement, etc. Among these important moments, the DD8806 movement developed by VS is exactly used in the Omega Seamaster bronze gold model, it is also used in the V4 Seamaster No Time to Die by VS. While in this Seamaster bronze gold, OR Factory uses a SH8806. So, there is a discussion about which movement is better, in my opinion, it will not be bad if you buy any one of them, both are good movement, in the finish of some subtle details such as polishing and engravings on the movement plates, I prefer the SH8806 from OR.

The replica watch from OR comes with a mesh bracelet that is made with titanium, the factory also offers a green rubber band with a deployant clasp. The rubber band from VS comes with a pin buckle, this is another difference.

Here are pictures of the Seamaster bronze gold from OR.

The following is a comparison between the replica and genuine. Which one do you think is the replica, the left one or the right one?

Seamaster Bronze Gold Replica vs Genuine

Both bezel and dial have color difference, but not very obvious. The replica has an extra regulator on the balance wheel, the decoration on the movement plate is very close. The genuine watch has a bigger Omega logo on the clasp. On this OR Seamaster, its crystal has a closer shape to that of the genuine than VS, but the OR Seamaster has too obvious blue AR coating, genuine watch does not have.

RC Factory Aquanaut

Just saw a news coming from the market that RC Factory will make the replica Patek Philippe Aquanaut watches with increased weight, is that true? Some people said this is a false news. However, I got these pictures, some dealers got the watch already and I share their reviews on this golden Aquanaut watch.

For the Patek Philippe Aquanaut replica watches, they are very hot, BP is the earliest watch maker that produces them, then ZF and 3K, now a lof of new names appeared in this field, like BBF and DDF we know, and some unpopular names such as APW. Among them, 3K has already made the biggest amount of money just by selling Nautilus replicas and Aquanaut replicas, but their Aquanaut and Nautilus are not the first choices. More people are buying from BBF or DDF. Among these watch makers, only APW and DDF make the replica Aquanaut with increased weight, and absolutely I recommend the one from DDF. For the best Nautilus replica, I also recommend DDF and VF.

Nowadays, the replica watches with increased weight are very popular, but that does not mean the ones from each factory are worth buying, not every replica watch with close weight to genuine can be called super clone, sometimes I prefer the one with regular weight if it has much better finish and dial details, for example, Clean did not produce increased weight Rolex replica watches before, but their Rolexs used to be the best.

This Aquanaut, if it is really made by RC, please do not buy.

First, the chocolate dial has color difference, actually on the rose gold Day-Date model with chocolate dial from RC, the dial color difference also exists.

Second, the movement is a super clone 324, but its engravings on the plates are not deep, not that deep on the movement plates of BBF Aquanaut. Now factories BBF and DDF have deep engravings on the movement plate, 3K does not have.

Third, the rose gold tone on the case does not look as good as that on their Rolex Day-Date.

So, although the watch has a good weight of about 131 grams, but the finishes do not meet the standards of a super clone watch.

APS Factory IWC Portuguese Chrono

The Portuguese Chrono is one of the hottest IWC replica watches in the market, it is also being after by a lot of people because of its ultimate elegance, it is more popular than the Portuguese 7 Days Power Reserve, the Portuguese Chrono was made by both ZF and APS in the past, many people only recognize the version from the ZF, but since the last raid happened years ago, ZF has no longer brought us big surprises, it seems like they have disappeared, just two new names appeared, PPF and BBF, which claim that they cooperated with ZF. In my opinion, just like I mentioned before, ZF does not exist.

About this IWC Portuguese Chrono watch, its movement actually has been upgraded twice, now this time APS developed a better movement for it, and I think this is the ultimate version, there must be no more improvements on the movement in future.

The following two Portuguese Chrono watches, which one do you like? Both have a white dial, one has golden markers and hands, the other has blue markers and hands. The one with blue hands and blue markers is loved by a lot of people.

IWC Portuguese Chrono Watches Replica

For the size of the case, I measured it, which is exactly the same as that of the genuine watch. The case diameter is 41mm. With the new super clone 69355 movement, the case is much thinner now.

The blued steel hands look very beautiful and enhance the elegance of the watch, this is the reason why people like this model more.

The edge of the bezel is polished, the case side is brushed, we can see that high contrast finished very well on this watch.

IWC Portuguese Chrono Case Finish

This is the super clone 69355 APS developed for the Portuguese Chrono. There are beautiful finish-scale patterns decoration on the movement plates, the position of the balance wheel is also correct. Some people said there is no difference between this super clone movement and the genuine calibre, but obviously the engravings on the auto rotor and movement plates are a bit shallower.

By the way, the replica watch uses a black calfskin leather band, this band feels a stiff, absolutely you can order a genuine aligator leather band and replace on. There are stores here in the market that can customize the genuine aligator leather bands.

Conclusion

For people who are looking for good quality IWC replica watches, now the Portuguese Chrono finally joins the list of super clone IWC watches, because in the past I thought there are only Portuguese 7 Days, Ingenieur and Pilot Mark series. However, with the new movement, the price also goes up. You also need to be very careful when buying this watch, some dealers may use a replica with a 7750 movement to deceive you, after all, these replicas really do not have too much difference in finish with the great development of watch-making technology, and some of you guys do not know how to tell if the watch comes with a super clone 69355 movement.
