There's a new Nautilus that looks about right this time. http://www.torobravo2015.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=1752 Nope! This is just the white dial version of the newly released "decorated movement" Nautilus. Yes the hands are correct, yes the movements pretty, yes the white dial is more accurate than the blue dial one, but because of the fake bridges it's 12mm thick!!! That's hella thick for a Nautilus, no no no!!! DC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gmtaddict 1 Posted September 24, 2015 Well, I'm no longer in the Nautilus game but for something nice I would mix the old (case, bracelet, movement) and new Miyota (dial, hands) to get something decent... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bowtiefanatc 16 Posted September 25, 2015 At 12mm it's only 2mm shy of the Nautilus Chrono which is 14mm and from DC's comparison that one is much thicker than he regular Nautilus. Looks like Standard Miyota it is Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looks like Standard Miyota it is The thickness specified in Torro is 12 mm... I visually compared it to the pictures in Patek's website and can't really tell much. I guess it's only if you put the real and gen side by side then you can tell the difference. For me I'm a fan of bigger watches and 40mm is about as small I'm willing to go for.

If you're not a fan of small watches (under 40mm) then the Nautilus is possibly not for you. It wears smaller than it's 40mm size would suggest. The 40mm measurement is taken diagonally across the bezel from 10 to 4, but since the bezel has a "TV set" kinda shape to it it's actually less than 40mm from 9 to 3 and from 12 to 6. The "ears" obviously make it measure more than 40mm across from 9 to 3 but the visual look of the watch is entirely dictated by the bezel, plus the bezel is quite wide so the dial is even smaller, adding to the small appearance of the watch!!

Godfathar 1 Posted October 9, 2015 Well, I'm no longer in the Nautilus game but for something nice I would mix the old (case, bracelet, movement) and new Miyota (dial, hands) to get something decent... Do you think that's possible? to use the new MKF miyota blue dial on the old miyota case? I would do it if I get a confirmation somehow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do you think that's possible? to use the new MKF miyota blue dial on the old miyota case? I would do it if I get a confirmation somehow. Why would you do that mate ? The dial is wrong on the new MKF. Pattern is totally off. edit : but I'm guessing it's technically possible, as the movement is the same, so are the dial feet.

Datograph, all day long, the subdials are the wrong colour and it's a bit too big but it's a superb quality feeling watch, the current 5170 doesn't have the same feel to it!!

Loggerchicken45 0 Posted January 23, 2016 Personally looking forward to a 324/315 Mov't with better engraving quality, the gold-colored words carved into the back looks kind of like cheese paste on the most current reps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
