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/.

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.

Nautilus 5711 DDF vs BBF vs VF — The dial color difference between DDF, BBF and VF.

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.

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.

RC Factory Aquanaut

Leave a reply

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.

OME 5712 V2 and 5822P

About OME, it has been a long time not to hear the news about this factory, last time, about several months ago, OME published a great replica Patek Philippe Nautilus 5712 and caught the attention of many watch fans, their Nautilus 5712 is indeed a very good replica, compared with the 5712 from PPF, OME version has better dial color, better moon phase, better hands and better movement engravings, they disappeared after selling this watch for a while, I do not know why they disappeared, now OME starts to accept orders and published the V2 edition of the Nautilus 5712.

For the V2, the change was made on the movement, please check the two places I mark in red, these are two differences between V1 and V2.

Golden tube around this ruby.

C-shaped opening in this place.

The movement plate has much deeper engravings than that of PPF 5712, and on this V2, the movement plate also looks brighter and cleaner.

However, now ordering a Nautilus 5712 from OME needs to wait for a bit longer than usual.

Next, let’s see the pictures of the Cubitus 5822P from OME.

This Cubitus 5822P is hot, many people already asked me if there is a super clone of it, before OME, P1 and PPF made this replica, PPF and OME use the same super clone 240 movement, but the movement from P1 is not close to the genuine movement, and their watch has a too high price. Like 5712, PPF also does not have a deep engraving on the movement plate, please check the picture below.

Look at this picture above, the movement plate has a very shallow engraving on PPF 5822.

Look at the movement on the 5822 from P1 Factory, the micro rotor’s position and balance wheel position are wrong.

About Nautilus 5711 Replicas

In the past years, 3K Factory has dominated the market of Nautilus 5711 replicas with the super clone 324 movement, a lot of people directly ordered the Nautilus 5711 from 3K, some people, seeking superior quality, paid extra to replace its dial with SW dial, but this part of people also needed to order one Nautilus replica watch from 3K Factory first, and then do the dial modification. So, 3K was the only choice in the past. However, with the expiration of the exclusive movement agreement, now every factory can use this super clone 324 movement, just weeks ago, some new faces already appeared in the market and published the replicas Nautilus 5711, which were claimed to have better quality than 3K. These new faces include BBF, DDF and DF. Every of these new factories seem to know the weakness of the 3K Nautilus 5711, BBF is the most popular among these three, they did dial improvements, many reviewers said that BBF uses the SW Dial on 5711, actually this is not true, I compared both and found the difference between BBF dial and SW dial. DDF currently is doing upgrade on the watch and about to release the V2. While D Factory changed the movement and developed the free sprung balance, but with no weights. So currently the 5711 being mostly talked about is the one from BBF, many reviewers said it is much better than the one made by 3K.

Well, I do not agree. Perhaps in some details, BBF looks better, but a watch consists of a lot of parts that need to be assembled perfectly by an experienced watch master, BBF 5711 can not be better than 3K 5711 in every aspect, it is impossible. If you take both watches in hand and you will find some details on 3K are still better. A friend of mine also got BBF 5711 for his clients, but several his clients finally asked him to change to 3K 5711. So, sometimes when a factory said their watch is better than the one that has been in the market for years, do not rush to buy it, especially the watch from a new factory.

However, the appearance of these watches is a big challenge to 3K Factory. They will absolutely continue to make improvements on the Nautilus 5711, so currently it is not the right time to make the purchase, besides, I think 3K Factory will also improve the dial and movement engravings in future, if they won’t, they will lose this market, so I really expect a perfect version from 3K Factory.

The following pictures show the Nautilus 5711 from BBF.

BBF Patek Philippe Cubitus 5821

Leave a reply

In the past several months, the Cubitus from Patek Philippe must be a hot topic in this industry, because everyone is looking for a super clone of this watch, however, after the release of the replica watch by two factories, which are TW and PPF, people seem no longer to be interested in the replica Patek Philippe Cubitus, because nobody asked me where to get a replica Cubitus watch again. Have their needs been satisfied by purchasing the watch? Or they are still waiting for the launch of the best version by some factory? Today, I am going to give a short review on the replica Cubitus 5821 made by BBF.

About BBF, few people know this factory, they are not famous in this industry, but only known for making good quality replica Hublot Unico watches. I thought BBF is another name which PPF uses to make other watches, but after seeing this Cubitus watch made by them, I was wrong. This replica Cubitus 5821 made by BBF has two big flaws, according to my experience, PPF won’t make these two obvious flaws when producing the replicas. However, I am surprised that BBF uses a super clone 330 movement on this replica, you know, this movement was only authorized to be used by 3K, its predecessor is 324 movement that was developed by 3K Factory years ago. Someone said the sole authorization to use this movement is no longer valid, so 3K will not be the only factory to use this movement in future.

Patek Philippe Cubitus 5821 Two Tone Replica

Measuring the watch from left to right, the crown not included, it is about 43.4mm, from top to bottom, it is 44.3mm. The case thickness is about 8.5mm, which is slightly thicker than that of the genuine. The entire watch has a weight of 128 grams.

The blue color on the dial is very good. The first big flaw lies in its date window, I think it is slightly smaller than that on the genuine watch. One some date fonts, part of the font’s bottom edge is hidden by the frame of the window. I do not know if all samples coming out of the factory have this issue, or just the one on my hand.

The lume coating on the hands and hour markers are maintained in the same tone, no color difference. The printings of “PATEK PHILIPPE” and “GENEVE” have the same font thickness as that of the genuine, but not that tri-dimensional like on the genuine.

Another big flaw lies on the bracelet, on the middle golden links, only the front and back are plated with gold, the parts at left and right sides are stainless steel, if you check carefully, you will find this flaw.

To be honest, for this watch, I feel a bit disappointed, because some details not perfectly made, after all it is the first Cubitus replica with a super clone movement.

3K Factory Aquanaut 5168G with SW Dial+Hands+Date

Leave a reply

Patek Philippe Aquanaut is one of the best-selling watches in this industry, there are many colors for you to choose, including black, red, blue and this green. I remember that Z Factory was the first to make a high-end replica of the Patek Aquanaut watch, am I right? But they used a Japanese automatic movement and made modifications. Then 3K Factory developed the first super clone 324 and installed in the Aquanaut, next, 3K made several improvements on the dial and clasp, now the latest version from them has come to V3. However, the V3 Aquanaut from 3K is still not perfect, even on the black one, not to mention on this green Aquanaut 5168G that has a big difference in color with the genuine watch. So, several manufacturers in the market produce specific watch parts that can replace the ones on 3K Aquanaut to make the watch look closer to genuine, these manufacturers are SW, BUFF, VVS, etc., they have achieved tremendous success in this field, otherwise there would not be so many dealers taking their watch parts to do the customizing works, the most famous two are SW and BUFF.

Today, I will introduce an Aquanaut replica watch in green color that has been replaced with the dial, hands and date parts from SW Factory, please look at the first two pictures, the watch has already been with SW dial, hands and date, I think the color difference is much noticeable. By the way, the original rubber band from 3K looks too green, I replaced it also with a VAGENARI rubber band.

After completing the work, the dial looks perfect, it should be the closest color on this replica Aquanaut watch, even you compare it with genuine, it is hard to find the color difference. Besides the color, SW Factory also made change on the numeral hour markers, whose thickness and shape are closer to that of genuine watch. The color of the luminous material applied on hands and markers are maintained to be the same. The finish on the hour hand and mintue hand is the same as 3K, both are perfect, no burr even you observe with a magnifier. The date font of SW is thicker.

Too many watch fans now have a higher and higher requirement on the replica watches they are buying, they need more accurate details, so many dealers are doing customized works on the watches to meet their need. On this Aquanaut 5168G replica, if you do not care about the color difference, you can directly buy from 3K. But I suggest you spend more money to change its dial, hands and date, as well as its band, but that VAGENARI band will have an expensive price. By the way, some dealers even make a 18K solid white gold case for this replica watch, and changed a genuine dial one, so the price will be very high.

In the market, I just heard that two other factories will make this green Aquanaut 5168G. One is APW+, the other is OEM. Not sure if APW+ is the previous APW that made the AP 26331, and is OEM the same as OME that made Patek 5712 before? The 5168G from APW+ just came out, with a weight of 114 grams, which is closer to that of genuine, we know this Aquanaut from 3K is about 95 grams. And I heard that APW+ has made deeper engravings on the movement plates.

The pictures below are 3K Aquanaut 5168G with SW Dial, Hands and Date.

PPF 5712 Dial Color Upgrade

Leave a reply

Last time, I talked about the improvement which PPF made on the replica Nautilus Moon Phase 5712 in article https://www.susanreviews.com/2025/03/31/two-improvements-from-ppf/, that improvement is the engravings on the movement plate, which become deeper. Just yesterday, PPF announced another improvement on the dial color of the V3 5712, I got the watch yesterday night and took some pictures for you. The dial looks really better than before.

Before, many watch fans would like to get a Patek Philippe 5712 from PPF and then changed a SW dial on because SW dial has a more correct color, now it is not necessary to do this because the new dial from PPF has a correct color. Before this update, I made a comparison between PPF 5712 and the one with SW Dial in article https://www.susanreviews.com/2024/12/31/ppf-nautilus-moon-phase-5712/, we can clearly see the dial of the PPF 5712 looks slightly purplish, now you will not see this issue on the new dial from PPF. Look at the pictures below, actually the dial color looks more authentic than it on the pictures, you will be satisfied with the dial color after seeing the actual watch.

After the improvement, the dial color even looks better than that on SW dial, but is is absolutely much better than the dial color of OME 5712, on the 5712 from OME, the dial looks slightly gray.

About the finish on the edge of the hour markers, SW does a better polishing and the chamfering is more noticeable, which is closer to that of genuine. While PPF and OME have the same finish on the hour markers.

About the color on the hour markers and hands, SW dial is better, its color on the markers is the same as that on the hands. While on PPF, there is still slight color difference between the markers and hands.

My conclusion:

If you have enough budget, I still suggest you choose a PPF 5712 and then change with a SW Dial. SW Dial has a very good dial color and good finish on the hour markers.

The OME 5712 is also very cost-efficient because its case is made correct especially on the lugs.

Nautilus 5712 OME vs PPF

5 Replies

OME, which just appeared in this industry, has forced PP Factory to make improvement on the movement of replica Nautilus 5712. Last time, PP Factory made deeper engravings on the 240 movement of replica 5712, I talked this in previous post at. OME only made the replica Patek Nautilus 5712, including the stainless steel model and golden model. I know you guys have seen a lot of reviews about OME 5712, some reviewers said OME makes the best replica 5712, which is much better than the one from PP Factory, here I took the golden 5712 from OME to make a simple comparison, please chck the pictures below.

On the first picture below, the left golden 5712 is from OME, the right stainless steel 5712 is from PPF but has been replaced with SW dial, hands and moon phase. Some reviewers said that OME uses the same SW watch parts, but I still found that SW dial, hands and moon phase on the right watch are better. However, we can see that OME uses a solid axis for the hands.

On the second and third pictures, it is the case comparison. The middle case is thinner on OME 5712, but the entire case on both watches has the same thickness. On the end of the lugs, its shape is finished so well on OME 5712, it looks much better than that on PPF 5712. If you want to replace the dial, hands and moon phase on PPF 5712, you need to pay a lot extra money, the total price will be more expensive than that of OME 5712.

Are there any other differences? Like movement? You can comment below.

Two improvements from PPF

Leave a reply

PPF is ZF.

At the beginning of this month, PPF announced that they will make some changes on two watches, one is Nautilus 5712, the other is Overseas 4500V, both are very popular models, especially the Nautilus 5712, which has been a best seller in recent years. Now, improvements on both watches are completed, in the following I will show you what improvements have been made on both.

First, the Patek Philippe Nautilus 5712. Before this improvement, it is V3 edition, after that, it is still V3. On this watch, previously two improvements have been made, on V2, the power reserve becomes real. On V3, the clasp was changed. Now, PPF made another important improvement on the movement, whose golden engravings become deeper, please check the comparison pictures. I put two movements together to make a comparison, it is easy to tell. On the older version, the golden letterings seem to be printed, while on the newer version, they are engraved, there are obvious depth.

Second, the Vacheron Constantin Overseas 4500V. The improvement also made on the movement, its balance wheel is changed to the position of 7 o’clock, actually very close to position of 8 o’clock, you can see the pictures of V1 and V2 below. However, after the change on the movement, the case thickness increases from 11.2mm to 11.5mm. Besides, the date adjustment also changes, on previous V1, rotate the crown clockwise, the date will change. While on the V2 edition, you need to rotate the crown counterclockwise to adjust the date. Some people said the date font becomes thicker on V2, I did not notice the difference.

PP Factory Replica Patek Philippe Nautilus Annual Calendar 5726

Leave a reply

It is my first time to introduce this Patek watch on my blog, because many people have asked for this watch, I have not reviewed it because there is no super clone movement for this Patek watch, and I think there will not be a super clone movement for it in future, this Patek Philippe Nautilus 5726 is a watch with complicated functions, it is hard to make a super clone movement that can achieve so many functions at the same time, however, if you ask me if there is a good quality replica for this watch, I will say yes, I remembered two factories are making good quality replica of this Patek Nautilus 5726, one is GR, the other if PP. I do not think this replica from PP Factory is much better than the one from GR, but PP Factory charges a much higher price.

It is a good-looking Patek Philippe watch, looks more beautiful and more elegant than the Nautilus 5712 that has been very hot in recent years. I would like to talk about its movement first, it is said to be modified on basis of a Japanese Miyota automatic movement, PP Factory added extra plate on top of the original movement, then made very similar decoration on the movement plates and auto rotor. So you will find the case must be thicker than that of genuine, I measured it, the case is 40.5mm in diameter and 11.5mm in thickness. On some websites, they are saying this movement is on basis of a Miyota 9015, but I checked Miyota 9015 does not have so many functions, is it real?

The dial is blue, it has central hours, minutes, seconds, date, month, week, moon phase and 24-hour display, it is easy to adjust them through the buttons set on the four corners of the case. Through the button on the case at 2 o’clock, you can push to change the month. Push the button at 4 o’clock, the date will change. The moon phase will also change by pushing the button at 8 o’clock. Through the button at 10 o’clock, you can adjust week display. By the way, the moon phase display is like genuine, it only moves a little bit each day. And the dial color looks very close to that of genuine, much better color than that on their Nautilus 5712 from PPF. However, there are two defects I can found on the dial, first, the date font is a bit sunken, the date on genuine watch is closer to the dial plate. Second, when you pull out the crown to adjust time, the second hand will stop, while genuine watch won’t.

For this 5726 replica, PP Factory also offers two other colors, grey and white. The white dial looks good, at least it does not have color difference.
