Before introducing this replica watch, I have to announce a major and unfortunate news – APS has reportedly been raided, which means collectors may no longer be able to buy their watches in the future. I honestly don’t understand why APS was targeted. Unlike many other factories, they never focused on Rolex replicas. In the past, factories like Noob and Clean were heavily targeted mainly because their replica Rolex models became too famous. As for APS this time, I believe it may be related to their Audemars Piguet lineup, especially the 4401 super clone movement with free-sprung balance they developed for the AP 26240, as well as the 4302 clone movement with free-sprung balance used in the 15500.
Alright, today we’re taking a look at the replica Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711 with the green dial from DD Factory. The first factory to produce this green-dial 5711 was 3K Factory, but the color difference on their dial was quite obvious. In comparison, DD Factory’s olive green dial is much closer to the genuine watch. Just take a look at the comparison photos below.
There are many factories producing replica Nautilus 5711 watches right now. If 3K continues relying on its old reputation without making improvements, I think its market share will soon be taken over by BB and DD Factory. I’ve also heard that BB Factory is currently developing a new clone 330 movement with a true hacking seconds function, just like the genuine watch. As of now, none of the clone 330 movements used in replica 5711 models on the market support hacking seconds.
Compared with BB Factory’s version, I think DD Factory’s 5711 still lacks some refinement on the hour markers. The edges feel a bit too sharp because the chamfering and polishing are not as well executed. BB Factory does a better job with the finishing of the markers. However, the date font on DD Factory’s 5711 is slightly thicker than 3K’s version, which is actually closer to the genuine Patek Philippe.
