The Nautilus 5711 replica has been available from DDF for some time, but the one in the following pictures is the latest version from them, it is the one with the newest clone 330 movement with hacking seconds.
About the clone 330 movement, it has been available in replica Patek Philippe watches field for years, but the previous 330 does not have hacking-seconds feature, that is an abvious movement flaw on the replica Nautilus 5711, so we usually saw discussions about when a factory will develop the clone 330 movement with hacking seconds function. I remembered that BBF is the first factory that announced that they will provide this clone 330 movement, next 3K Factory also said they will have this movement, but currently the two factories still have not published the Nautilus 5711 replicas with the clone 330 movement. Instead, DDF was the first to release the 330 movement with hacking seconds. The following pictures describe the blue Nautilus 5711 made by DDF, also a video attached in the end of the article to show the hacking seconds feature of the movement. By the way, the movement engravings also become deeper and neater, it looks more beautiful.
Quite a few new models have been released recently, especially since the movement exclusivity agreements came to an end. As a result, many new factory names have started appearing in the market. However, most of these so-called new factories have not actually developed anything from scratch. Instead, they are simply improving models that were previously released by the major established factories.
A good example is the WS Factory Nautilus 5712 that I mentioned in my previous post. WS made some very impressive claims in its promotional materials, but the actual watch is not nearly as good as they advertised.
A friendly reminder: whenever a new factory name appears and claims to have made major improvements to a particular model, do not rush to buy it. In many cases, you may simply end up wasting your money.
AR Factory
Just heard that AR Factory, which is also known as ARF, just changed its name to “W”. All these factories producing replica Rolex watches are operating in a precarious situation, never knowing when they might be shut down.
Clone 330 Movement
Last time, I mentioned that BBF was preparing to release a hacking-seconds 330 movement for the Nautilus 5711. Now, this movement has finally been released and has first been installed in the two Nautilus models shown below.
Meanwhile, 3K Factory is also feeling the pressure. It has just announced that it will release its own hacking-seconds 330 movement, which will first be installed in the two Aquanaut models shown below.
Seamaster 600m
Two new Seamaster models from VS Factory, black and blue models available now. Before, a factory named VS+ also made these two models plus one orange model. The new Seamaster 600m from VS has a case that is measured to be 42mm in diameter and 13.8mm in thickness. The movement inside is a clone 8912, which is derived from the super clone 8900 movement from VS. At this point, even if VS releases new Panerai or Omega models, I do not expect too much from their attention to detail or overall finishing, because VS is now focusing almost all of its resources on Rolex.
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.
