Nautilus 5711 RG UPDATE

Recommended Posts

964boy

This all started off by thinking this was a stunning watch, many months ago. So did a bit of research and it was obvious this was the best model to get, V6F 1:1 edition with Swiss SW200 movement, the reason being, DC stated it had to be the SW200 model to take the gen strap, and after reading tanto's post of his with gen strap, this was the model required.

 

Pondered for a few months, as was unsure of gold watches, then while surfing, came across this listing on ebay, and won the auction.

 

Patek Philipe nautilus B76 25mm brown crocodile leather watch strap 100% Genuine.

 

And yes, the strap drove the watch purchase.

 

As soon as win was confirmed, contacted Toro and he manage to get me one.

 

Old strap removed and end links moded to suit strap mounts, seems simple, but was a bugger from what I was TOLD !!!

 

So some pics

A real beauty!

What was required to make the strap fit? is it a big job?

I feel like it doesn't need saying but this is pure class!!

 

I really wish they would make a decent 5712 rep, because this colour combo in the 5712 is killer...

The tongue in the end links - for want of another word - has to be reduced in width and thickness to fit the recess in the gen strap, refer the metal collar in the pic

Hope this makes sense.

Total class as you say DC. It's just such a simple design.

It does. And believe me I feel your pain... Took me something like 3 hours of patient work to get it done.
