About Nautilus 5711

The replica of Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711 has been popular for many years in this industry, many factories are making this watch, from the earliest BP, PPF, 3KF to today’s BBF and DDF, these factories are making this watch very good, I have one question, why have these factories that produce high quality Patek Philippe replicas never been raided? At least I have not heard such news, in this industry, In this industry, the most common thing I’ve heard is that the factories making Rolex replicas are frequently raided. Back to today’s topic, now if you want to buy one Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711 replica watch, which factory you would like to choose from?

I introduced several factories versions of this watch on my blog, such as BP, PPF, 3K and BBF, I believe nobody wants to buy it from BP and PPF. BP version has a very noisy movement, PPF has a good dial color but their movement is not a super clone. How about this watch from 3K and BBF? 3K’s dial color on the blue Nautilus 5711 is not too good, and I really can’t understand why 3K Factory does not improve the engraving on the movement, the laser engraving is too shallow.

In my opinion, people who do not want to pay extra money on modification will usually buy this watch from BBF and DDF. These two factories have a better dial color on the blue Nautilus, and movement engravings are much deeper than 3K. However, the Nautilus 5711 from BBF and DDF is also not perfect, especially the BBF, the lug’s shape is not correct.

DDF Lug vs BBF Lug

There are two cases above, the upper one is from DDF, the one below is from BBF. The shape of the lug on DDF looks better.

So, in the end of this article, I offer you several options to get this replica Nautilus 5711. It is just my advice, I do not encourage you guys to buy replicas here.

1.Directly buy it from DDF.
2.Buy it from BBF, replace dial, hands and date wheel with SW’s parts, then re-polish the entire watch, make the lug’s shape to be better.
3.There are some stores on the market doing custom-made jobs, the Nautilus 5711 offered by them has better CNC case and free-sprung 324 movement with better decoration. Please check pictures below.

Replica 5261

I did not introduce this watch before, but a few people have asked me if there is a good replica, I must say no if you are looking for one that matches the quality of replica Nautilus 5711 or Aquanaut, but if you want to buy one to play around with and try out the experience, there are several versions available on the market for you to choose from.

One factory named 3K makes this replica watch, but it is not the real 3K Factory that is well-known for making Nautilus and Aquanaut, they just used the name of “3K” to sell this 5261 replica. Please check pictures below.

This watch from “3K” indeed has color difference if you compare it with the genuine, but I think every replica with blue or green color has this issue even it is a super clone, if you do care this, then this watch is not a good choice. All versions of this replica 5261 made by other factories also have color difference. Please check the two pictures below.

5261 Comparison

Both 5261 replicas are available on the market, the color varies greatly. The right one is from “3K”. Which one do you like? On both watches, the moon phase, date, week, month have real functions and can be adjusted through the buttons on the case.

The movement is modified on basis of Miyota 9015, so the base movement has been added with extra plates with similar decoration to the genuine calibre. So the whole replica watch will be a bit thicker than the genuine.

Want to sell this blog

Just saw a big news in this industry, next many factories may disappear, and you will no longer be able to order watches from the following factories that include APS, V, THB.

EWE, TWS and GS may also disappear for a while.

About V, also known as Victory. I thought this is a new factory, but just knew it is also managed by APS.

Another news I want to announce is that I want to sell this blog, I have something else to do, so no time to write blogs. Please contact me if you want to get this blog site.

Replica Rolex 2026

Last time, I introduced the replica watch of one of the new watches published by Rolex in 2026, it is the Ombre green Datejust, however, please check the article at https://www.susanreviews.com/2026/04/27/new-datejust-from-clean-2/. This Datejust replica watch is made by a small factory in the market, not by Clean.

About this Ombre green Datejust Rolex, VS just published the replica, compared the one I introduced before, the dial color is better on VS. Please check the picture below. The left watch is the V2 edition which VS Factory published this time, the right one is from a small factory. The gradient effect on the VS dial is more pronounced, transitioning from green in the center to black at the edges. However, on the right dial, the gradient is less noticeable, with a clear distinction between the black rim and the green center. Just look at the area of the green part in the middle of the two dials, and it becomes clear.

Watch the video below, the bezel on this V2 Datejust looks very shiny.

Another new Rolex that has a replica in the market is the Daytona 126502. Made by CBD Factory, which makes weighted Rolex Day-Date replicas in the market, please read the review about their Day-Date at https://www.susanreviews.com/2025/02/24/cbd-factory-day-date/. Their Day-Date has some issues, I mentioned in this post at https://www.susanreviews.com/2025/07/28/rc-day-date-part-ii/.

This Daytona from CBD is a weighted version, there are two movement options to choose, one with regular balance wheel, the other with a free-sprung balance wheel. Its price is even lower than the 116500 Daytona from VS, BT and V. I do not think it is a wise decision to buy this Daytona from CBD now. VS, BT or V may publish this Daytona replica watch later, but I am more looking forward to the QF version, because it will be heavier and the movement will be the genuine 4131 free-sprung.

VS Factory AP 15510

Last time, VS Factory published the replica AP Royal Oak 15500, I have published the review about it and the comparison between VS and APS, please check the article at https://www.susanreviews.com/2026/04/06/picture-comparison-on-blue-ap-15500-between-vs-and-aps/.

The 15500 from VS is good, so is this new 15510. But I have seen a lot of reviews about the VS 15500 online, many dealers said it is much better than the one made by APS, I do not think so, APS has been making AP replicas for many years, VS is just a new challenger in this field. Each of them has their own advantages in AP 15500, and in this AP 15510.

For this new AP 15510, currently VS Factory has the blue dial version and green dial version, the following pictures I show is the one with green dial.

The following is picture comparison between the VS 15510 and APS 15510.

The left one is from APS, the right watch is from VS. The dial color looks different. VS 15510 has a lighter blue dial color.

The tail of the second hand, its shape is different. On APS, it is rectangular, on VS, it is trapezoidal. The hollow-out part is much bigger on the second hand of APS 15510.

Lug Shape

The lug shape is different. The bottom one is from VS, it looks bigger and fatter.

The end link on the bracelet of VS 15510 is more flexible, just like their 15500.
APS Movement
VS Auto Rotor Color

The color of the auto rotor looks different, the movement below is the 4302 movement from VS Factory.

About the 4302 movement used by APS and VS, I mentioned the difference before, VS’s 4302 is not the true free-sprung balance version, because it does not have weights. APS offers two movement options for the 15510, one with regular balance wheel, the other with a free-sprung balance, APS’s 4302 free-sprung movement has weights on the balance. Besides these differences, VS also claims that the auto rotor uses ceramic ball bearing. VS also saying their 4302 movement has the same power reserve time as the genuine AP Calibre 4302, which is 72 hours, I do not believe this, currently no fake movements can achieve such a long time of power reserve.
