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.
3K’s 324 movement engraving
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.
There is a lot to talk about when it comes to replica watch Patek Philippe Nautilus 5712, and I introduced this watch from PPF and OME before, you can check the article at https://www.susanreviews.com/2025/06/02/ppf-5712-dial-color-upgrade/ and https://www.susanreviews.com/2025/11/24/ome-5712-v2-and-5822p/. There is also a comparison review between them, please check at https://www.susanreviews.com/2025/04/28/nautilus-5712-ome-vs-ppf/. PP Factory indeed has made a lot of improvements on this replica watch since its first release, however, being compared with the one from OME, I more recommend the 5712 from OME, but it seems that OME has disappeared for more than half one year, I do not know why. Some people said OME is not able to get the 240 movement, some people said OME got a lawyer letter from the brand because their 5712 is made too good, do you guys know the exact reason?
Just several days ago, I saw some video reviews again about the Nautilus 5712, but it is another 5712 model with platinum case, grey dial and black leather strap. They said this is the latest V3 edition PP Factory just released, I do not know if PPF has made the improvements on this grey Nautilus 5712G when they published the blue one last time. Anyway, this grey one becomes much better in dial color, moon phase indicator and movement engravings. please check the pictures below.
Observing these pictures above, we can see obvious sunburst finish on the dial, the dial is good, but it is not perfect, in my opinion, the dial from OME 5712 is even better than this one. I can find many flaws on the dial if there is a genuine model beside. First, the white lume material on the hour markers looks slightly from the one on the hands, simply speaking, the two types of white colors look different, this is a very common issue which the factory still has not solved. Second, the central hour hand and minute hand do not have a solid shaft, so do the other three small hands. To solve these issues, the best option is to buy a dial from SW and replace.
The engravings on the movement plates are deep, I mentioned this before. But the engravings on the ACE 240 movement below look deeper and neater, that ACE 240 is the closest clone PP240 movement in the market, it features a free-sprung balance wheel with weights, however, I do not suggest you buy, this movement is not stable. I know some dealers are selling this watch with the ACE 240 movement at a very high price.
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.
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.
BBF has published the replica of Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711 for some time, I introduced their replica Nautilus 5711 before, they got the super clone 324 movement and made some improvements, for example, the dial color is closer to that of the genuine, the engravings on the movement plates are deeper. 3K Factory has not yet taken any action regarding these, this factory has been remarkably low-key in recent years, after all they have earned a lot because having kept the exclusive usage of 324 movement for many years. Just days ago, BBF made another improvement on the dial, I made a comparison between the old version and the new version, please check the pictures below.
The left one is the old version BBF published before, the right one is the new version BBF published days ago. The difference only lies in the dial. Please look at the letterings “PATEK PHILIPPE” and “GENEVE”. On the old version, the “PATEK PHILIPPE” and “GENEVE” are placed on two separate grids, while on the new version, the logo is trapezoidal, the two characters are centered in the groove between the grids. The pictures say everything. The font also looks slightly bigger.
The second difference is the grids, which become slight narrower on the new version. Please check the date window. On the old version, the bottom edge of the grid is parallel to the bottom edge of the date window.
On the new version, the bottom edge of the date window extends slightly beyond the bottom edge of the grid.
These differences are not flaws, actually genuine watches also have had these differences on different versions.
This Nautilus 5711 is a very hot replica watch, many customers bought it from 3K before and made some modifications by replacing its dial and date wheel, now I think the one made by BBF is very good enough, but the case still has one place that can be improved. The “eagle’s beak” feature at the end of the lugs is not pronounced. Many people care about this feature, before OME factory made this part very well, but they disappeared, it is said that they could not get the movement and produce this watch. Too bad. I made a comparison on the 5711 between OME and PPF, please check at https://www.susanreviews.com/2025/04/28/nautilus-5712-ome-vs-ppf/, you can better see the lugs’ difference here.
The lugs on the BBF 5711
There are two approaches to deal with this defect on the case of the BBF, first, some watch masters in the market can polish this place very well, they do not charge too much. Second, you can pay extra to buy a CNC case and replace, but this case is very expensive.
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.
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.
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.
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.
2024 is an important year both for our watch makers and watch fans, we welcomed a lot of new models that have been made with breakthrough watch-making technology. The absolute protagonists in last year are VS and APS, we do not deny that Clean still occupies the largest market share in Rolex field, but VS has already caught up, and APS indeed brought us many surprises. Hope they can release more super clones in future.
1.Clean Factory V3 GMT-Master II Pepsi
For this GMT-Master II Pepsi, it has been improved by Clean Factory for two times, now the latest version is V3. Upon V2, the biggest improvement lies in its ceramic bezel, it is said that the color has been corrected to look closest to that of genuine, while some persons still like the bezel color on V2, still a bit controversial, however, there are still a large amount of watch fans chose to buy this V3 from Clean. By the way, I also only recommend Clean if you want super clone Rolex GMT-Master.
2.VS Factory Daytona 126500
For the new 12xxxx series Daytona, VS Factory has the best movement, Clean has the most complete collection. Since the last upgrade VS has made on hands of 126500, the sales of their Daytona 126500 suddenly improved. This Daytona 126500 from VS is equipped with a super clone 4131 from Dandong, which is supposed to be better than the Shanghai version used by Clean.
3.Clean Factory Daytona 116518
With a yellow gold case, ceramic bezel and black rubber band, this Daytona is one of the best-selling Daytona replicas from Clean. For the sales of Daytona in the market, Clean still occupies the biggest market share, the competition between VS and Clean in this area is still fierce. Actually, every Daytona made by Clean can be put onto this top ten list, they are really perfect clones.
4.Day-Date Heavy Version
I put this watch here just because the heavy version of Day-Date Rolex is really popular, in the past year, many people were asking the weight of a Rolex they were going to buy. And today in Day-Date field, more and more people are participating in the production of heavy versions of Day-Date Rolex replicas, including GM, QF, K, CBD, THB, etc., customers are also more confused than before. Well, currently I recommend two watch makers, GM and THB. GM is the earliest factory that makes the heavy version, they have price advantage, THB has a high price, but they use super clone 3255, the finish is better.
5.PP Factory Nautilus 5712 V3
The 5712 made by PP or Z has been upgraded to V3, with super clone 240 movement and new clasp. We can see that Nautilus moon phase 5712 from PP is very popular in the market, many dealers provide extra service to upgrade its dial with SW Dial and Hands, just like they do on Nautilus 5711 from 3K.
6.VS Factory Grey Datejust with Jubilee Bracelet
You can buy this Datejust from VS or Clean, both versions are very good. I more recommend Clean version before, but modded watches are very hot today, more people buy this Datejust from VS Factory and then made some modifications, for example, replacing its bezel, dial and hands with the bezel, dial and hands from genuine, this is a great idea, and this won’t cost you too much. The super clone DD3235 movement allows watch fans to to this job.
7.APS Factory RM055
Richard Mille has been very hot in the past two years, APS Factory made big improvements on the RM replicas, especially on the model RM055. This RM055 soon became the best seller in Richard Mille field once being published by APS.
8.APS Factory AP 15407
More AP watches can be put in this position, such as 15400, 15500 and 15720 from APS, but people seemed to be paying more attention to the AP 15407 in past year, since that, APS made a big improvement on the balance wheel of this watch. Many watch fans are still not satisfied yet and seeking for trusted source that could add double working balance wheel, it can be done, but too expensive.
9.QF Daytona Le Mans
QF is the watch maker that produced this Daytona, they provide two versions, regular weight version and heavy weight version. I do not suggest you buy the heavy weight version, because they added extra links to increase the weight. By the way, Clean Factory will also publish the Le Mans Daytona soon.
10.3K Factory Nautilus 5711
This watch deserves a more forward position, it is a very popular watch in modded watch market, many people bought this watch from 3K, replacing its dial, hand and date wheel with SW Dial, Hand and Date Wheel, it seems like more and more people are accepting this modded watch now.
There are a lot of other watches that were also sold very well in the market, especially Rolex watches, there are too many, Submariner, Datejust, Daytona, they can even make a top 10 or top 20, every Rolex coming from VS and Clean should be a super clone, no doubt about this. Every one has their own top 10, I can not include every best seller in this list.
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.
