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 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.
