Nautilus 5711 is a hot model in replica watch industry, since the 324 movement is available for usage to many factories, the competition in replica Nautilus and Aquanaut is getting tougher. Last time, DDF upgraded their clone 330 movement with an important feature, which is the hacking seconds, and in last week, BBF also brought the same 330 movement with the hacking seconds, now when customers are purchasing a top quality Nautilus 5711 replica watch, they are facing several options, BBF, DDF and 3K, because 3K will publish the 330 movement with hacking seconds soon. Among these three factories, which one makes the best Nautilus replica? Today, I will makes a brief comparison on the Nautilus 5711 between BBF and DDF. And in future if there is a chance, I will do a full comparison between these three factories.
Not only its movement has been upgraded, DDF also made improvement on the dial, whose color has a more natural gradient effect.
The left watch is from BBF, the right one is from DDF. We can see BBF has a darker dial color, while the DDF has a slightly brighter blue color.
The dial color under sun light, the left one is from DDF.
Look at the printings PATEK PHILIPPE GENEVE, but the two pictures above show you two Nautilus 5711, but both are made by DDF. This means DDF offers two versions of dial printings, both are available from DDF. Look at the following picture of the dial printing on BBF.
I also noticed the dial printings on DDF are thicker.
At last, let’s see the movement engravings on both factories.
Look at the movement engravings on DDF, they look deeper and thicker and also neater. BBF 330 movement’s engravings look shallower.
Have you checked the movement on genuine watch? Which factory makes a better movement decoration? Please tell me.
Conclusion
Both DDF and BBF make high quality Nautilus 5711 replicas, compare their dial color, dial printings, lugs shape and movement decoration, I like DDF more. Do you thick DDF 5711 is closer to genuine?
