Patek Philippe – Susan Reviews on Replica Watches

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Pictures of Patek Philippe Cubitus 5821

Happy New Year! Hope you guys happy every day in 2025.

Because the movement insde the replica Cubitus 5821 is modified from Miyota 9015, so its case is measured to be 9.15mm, which is a bit thicker than that of genuine watch. However, if you really like this watch, you can buy now because the Miyota 9015 is stable, I think the replica won’t have issues in future. It is also wise for you to wait til PPF or 3K makes the replica, but then the price of them will be much higher.

PPF Nautilus Moon Phase 5712

In recent years, one of the super clone watches that have been mostly improved in the market is Nautilus Moon Phase 5712, which is made by PPF, actually it is also ZF. I thought they were two different factories when there was a news saying that they cooperated and developed the V2 Edition of 5712 in last year, actually PPF and ZF are the same watch maker. This replica watch is also one of the best sellers in 2024, I think it is more popular than the replicas in other brand watches like Panerai.

For Nautilus 5712, I still remembered the first improvement was made on the movement, PPF developed this super clone 240 movement and achieved the real power reserve function. The second improvement is on the clasp, now this replica is fitted with the latest deployant clasp that is the same as that on genuine watch. However, when you are looking for this watch on the internet, besides the latest version from PPF, some dealers may provide you with other options for 5712. The first option is the one with SW dial and hands, but still using the 240 movement from PPF. You can buy this one, because after being replaced with SW dial and hands, the replica is closer to genuine. Check the pictures below, the left 5712 is using SW dial and hands, the right one is the original 5712 from PPF. We can clearly see the dial color difference, and after being replaced with the SW hands, the axis of the hands is solid.

Some dealers may provide you with another option, which not only change its dial and hands, but also replace its movement. The pictures below just showing the movement that could be used in the Nautilus 5712. It is a completely custom-made 240 movement from ACE. Well, I do not suggest you buy the 5712 with this movement, because it is not stable. This custom-made 240 has a free sprung balance wheel, not index regulated, although this feature makes the movement look closer to genuine 240 calibre, the movement accuracy can not be guaranteed. The custom-made 240 movement also has a much better decoration on the movement plate, you can see the engravings, whose thickness and color are very close to that of genuine, the micro auto rotor is 18K gold made, solid gold. However, this movement is too expensive, need thousands of US Dollars, and its stability is so unsure, so I do not recommend the 5712 with this movement.

TW Factory Replica Patek Philippe Cubitus 5821 Green

Some people have been waiting for this replica Patek Philippe watch for a long time, now it came out, made by TW Factory, two models available, one with green dial, the other is a two tone style with blue dial. Do I recommend them? Both replica watches are in middle quality, not super clones, but the quality is acceptable, because the movement inside them is a Miyota 9015 modified clone movement, we know Miyota 9015 movement has been used in this industry for many years and well known for its high stability, PP Factory is still using Miyota 9015 movement in their Nautilus 5711 replica watches, they have been using this movement to compete with 3K Factory in replica Nautilus 5711 for years, and PP Factory is still occupying a part of the market, even most people will choose the 5711 from 3K. The two Patek Philippe Cubitus 5821 replicas are made by TW Factory, about this factory, there is a very interesting thing, which is any watch maker that produces such quality replicas in the market can be called TW, but there is a real TW Factory before, I know there is a real TW, that’s a shame for this factory in such a situation.

The case of the Cubitus 5821 is measured to be 45mm in diameter and 8.8mm in thickness. It is equipped with a Miyota 9015 movement, whose movement plate and auto rotor have been decorated to look of genuine Patek 330 calibre. The movement is reliable, but a bit noisy. I think PP Factory and 3K Factory will also make them in near future, PP Factory, also named ZF, will make them with better finish on case and bracelet, and 3K Factory will install a super clone 330 movement in them, so, you can wait for the version from 3K. But it won’t cost you too much to buy this from TW if you can not resist its charm, after all the Cubitus looks so classic.

The Work of Replacing 3K Nautilus 5711 Dial with SW Dial and Hands

I got the Nautilus 5711 from 3K Factory and changed its dial and hands, after the work, I do not think it is necessary to do this, first, it is very expensive to buy a dial, hands and date wheel from SW Factory, second, after replacing the original dial and hands of 3K, the replica watch still does not become perfection.

Check the pictures below, the left watch is the original Nautilus 5711 from 3K Factory, the right watch is the one that exactly using the dial and hands of SW Factory. Could you notice the difference? There is slightly color difference.

I originally also wanted to change its date wheel, but after installing the date wheel of SW Factory, I found it could not be aligned correctly, please check the following pictures.

Nautilus 5711 — The left one with SW dial and hands, the right one just with SW date wheel.

PP Factory Replica Patek Philippe Calatrava 6007G

It has been a long time not to see new arrivals coming from PP factory, which is also called PPF by most people, and after seeing my reviews on so many watches, you have known that PPF has another name, which is ZF. They have a lot of super clones, including IWC, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, but nothing in Rolex. ZF tried several times and also wanted to succeed in super clone Rolex, but failed every time. Well, in my opinion, I think every super clone watch from ZF replacable, sometimes I think their watches are overpriced.

This Patek Philippe Calatrava 6007G is the only new model I have seen from PPF, last time about three years ago, they made a similar model, which is 6007A, it seems like this new 6007G has the same design as 6007A, it has a 40mm case diameter and measured to be 10.5mm in thickness, but still more than 1mm thicker than the genuine watch. The 6007G has three color options, blue, yellow and red. I went to their store and got this yellow one.

The watch is a super clone Patek, every detail is perfectly finished, the round bezel is a classic design of the Patek Philippe Calatrava, it is polished and looks very elegant, PPF finishes the case with smooth polishing on every edge of the case to guarantee a very good wearing comfort. The replica almost has no flaws on the case, except its thickness, but I do not think people can notice the difference on case thickness, which is only 1mm difference. The yellow color on the dial perfect matches with the yellow stitching on the leather band, the carbon pattern on the center of the dial is also in line with the carbon pattern on the leather band.

PPF uses a super clone Patek 330 movement in the watch, this is the best clone movement used in super clone Patek Philippe watches, the movement developed by 3K factory and rarely has issues, it has an incredible stability and the inaccuracy is accepted. I think there are two most important movements in fake watch industry, the first one is Dandong 4130, the second one is this 330.
