Guest REPPIN Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 Can y'all help me. I have been staring at these two for an hour. I know the movements are different. But are either of these two cosmetic wise closer to the Gen watch??? They both look like such different shades of blue....I'm not sure what to do.

Nightwatch Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 Hi, the swiss SW200 for longtime was considered the best with the best movement. The price was a dealbraker for me. There is a hole on the first link the gen has not. The cheaper one is a lot cheaper, a newer release and I really liked the superluminova (the other one has not), specs, mainly the thickness at 9,5mm are good. Best part is the issue with the hole on the first link was corrected (more gen-like - but hands are wrong). The hands or the second hand on the Myota are wrong (don´t quote me on it, pls. research a bit). Generally these dials reflect sunlight and create beautiful and different shades and reflections continuously. Other members have more expertise on the Nautilus and if the shades of blue are ok.

cc33 Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 I prefer the older ones, they have the closed caseback and no hole in the bracelet where it meets the case, it has a few flaws but overall better imo. The band even though not as refined matches the old 3700's, the rep 5711 bands are all visually wrong Link: http://www.ttw888.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=39_199&products_id=2007 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest REPPIN Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 Beautiful. But I gotta say that date wheel looks really bad and those hands are way too thin. But I do like that dial...decisions decisions. Lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cc33 Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 It's a rep of a 3700, that one had thin hands and a little but of a diff date wheel... It was the first nautilus I believe The biggest tell is that it's supposed to not have a seconds hand, but that can be fixed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denimhead Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 I Have to agree with CC, go for one of the older closed case back ones, I'm sure Andrew still has them listed on his site as the 'MBW' versions. snip the seconds hand, unless you can get the pinion capped, possibly re lume it with a creamer colour and you have a very nice example which is unlikely to be called out. The big tell tale is the date window position and the dots printed next to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denimhead Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 Here's one for reference, they did also come with a 'SWISS' only dial Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
