yvesmourousi Posted December 23, 2010 Report Posted December 23, 2010 Hy everybody, I finally decided to buy my Nautilus Rep.. And I would like the opinion of the community about the greatest dial. Stick or Roman markers ? And which dial color Blue, Dark, Silver, Green, Grey ??? I always want to buy the black stick but I saw pictures of the grey one on RWG and I like it a lot !!! Before any moove I wanted to ask your opinion guys ! Let me know
Irontomkidd Posted December 24, 2010 Report Posted December 24, 2010 I never liked this watch, but it has sort of grown on me, it also appears to be one of the more accurate reps. I would go for the Blue with stick. Good luck
Gapple Posted December 28, 2010 Report Posted December 28, 2010 I think the blue with sticks. Definitely.
yvesmourousi Posted December 28, 2010 Author Report Posted December 28, 2010 Some exemples... I think I'm going to take the grey one... Anyone knows if a gen grey dial exist ? See ya
diverguy Posted January 19, 2011 Report Posted January 19, 2011 only problem with these is the date window, it's too far left. The gens (my boss has 2) have the date window all the way to the right edge. Also, it is SO hard to find a rep with the clear case back like the gen. Where is everyone looking at these reps? I am dying for the blue face with stick markers in stainless if it has a clear case back.
ubiquitous Posted January 19, 2011 Report Posted January 19, 2011 Definitely one of my favorite dials for the Nauti:
dadog13 Posted January 19, 2011 Report Posted January 19, 2011 I agree with Ubi about this one..the blue is really nice, however I lost the crown on mine (my father did) and I was looking for a replacement...anybody knows where I could source one?
ubiquitous Posted January 19, 2011 Report Posted January 19, 2011 I'll check my spares to see if I have one...
dadog13 Posted January 19, 2011 Report Posted January 19, 2011 I'll check my spares to see if I have one... it would be great if you have one..I'll keep my fingers crossed! Thanks for the help even if you do not find one in your box of spare parts..
ubiquitous Posted January 20, 2011 Report Posted January 20, 2011 Just checked- All I have is a couple of crowns for the Royal Oak Classic Thought I had one of these Nauti's broken down into parts, but I'm not finding anything
diverguy Posted January 20, 2011 Report Posted January 20, 2011 Ubi, you wouldn't be interested in perhaps letting someone else wear that around permanently, would you?? :-) lol. That is by far the greatest nautilus design, Does it have the clear caseback on it? Where'd you pick that one up?
ubiquitous Posted January 20, 2011 Report Posted January 20, 2011 diverguy- Wish I still had it! Sold it a few years back... Kinda look back at that one and wish I hadn't That was an MBW, sourced via Paso through MBK. It's probably closer to being a ref 3711 than anything else, so the closed caseback is correct (though the case metal is not; 3711 is 18k WG); perhaps this other Nauti Jumbo that I had was even closer to the 3711: And a gen 3711: Besides, having the closed caseback hides the ETA
robertk Posted January 20, 2011 Report Posted January 20, 2011 I'm into the blue one but all of them are gorgeous. This is the MBW version from several years ago.
diverguy Posted January 21, 2011 Report Posted January 21, 2011 I see MBW thrown around a lot, where do you find MBW watches? I rarely get watches from dealers, I just like dealing with reputable members of the forums more, but I want one of these so bad! robertk, that is exactly the one I want. I have some spare organs I can trade for it. Would even consider the black dial if I found one. Although I always wonder why I want to wear a watch that no one will believe is real (if they even know what a patek is). I am really surprised with the prestige of these watches that dealers aren't putting more detail into them. They've cloned the 3135 and rolex doesn't even have a clear caseback! The design of these is so simple.
ubiquitous Posted January 22, 2011 Report Posted January 22, 2011 Hey diverguy... Maybe it would be wise to wait a bit... Looks like this is coming next month... New Nautilus 5711
Guest Sql_pl Posted January 22, 2011 Report Posted January 22, 2011 Looks great! Big date window, correct date font, will get one for sure!
ubiquitous Posted January 22, 2011 Report Posted January 22, 2011 Curved hinge edges and indicies that follow the edge of the rehaut... It does look rather nice!
Guest Sql_pl Posted January 23, 2011 Report Posted January 23, 2011 Cannot wait for this one to be released:
Guest Sql_pl Posted January 24, 2011 Report Posted January 24, 2011 A lot of MBK Nautiluses on sales corners lately, looks like soon to be released 5711 made MBK rep owners worried they may become hard to sell items!
ExtraExtra Posted January 24, 2011 Report Posted January 24, 2011 The blue dial for sure....it changes color depending on the angle. Sweet.
ExtraExtra Posted January 25, 2011 Report Posted January 25, 2011 a new version just came out guys....one with appear to be correct placement of date window and display case back. check it out fron trusty. http://www.yourtrustytime.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=39_199&products_id=7224
diverguy Posted January 29, 2011 Report Posted January 29, 2011 wow, really nice... but is the price right?? $8,888? Looks like there are a few on trustytime now.
calatrava Posted February 23, 2011 Report Posted February 23, 2011 wow, really nice... but is the price right?? $8,888? Looks like there are a few on trustytime now. I suspect the $8888 price is just a placeholder while they decide on actual pricing. I sent a photo of this to Silix, and he quoted me $418.
lgking Posted March 3, 2011 Report Posted March 3, 2011 http://www.yourtrust...roducts_id=7224 What's with the 'hour markers' cut at a 'funny slant' as they move towards the outside perimeter of the dial...is that on a 'gen'...?
