i got pictures from a friend when i told him i was looking very specifically for a 5711G, nautilus grey dial. from my limited knowledge of these reps, i gather that this was before the SW200s, Miyotas era of 5711s. from when MBWs were considered the better of what was available.

 

good dw

if anyone can help with pinpointing the maker, etc. it'd be a great help!

 

thanks all!

I don't know much about them but it does look nice either way.

It is a 21j model. Probably you can find it in Silix web site.

I'm afraid GenTLe beat me to it. It is indeed a 21j model, Marvelous Replica have them listed as 2838 movements but it's quite blatantly a DG2813 or some variant there of! Here's the link...

$168 isn't bad for a Nautilus with correct date window etc! Can't vouch for the overall quality but at that price I'd guess it's not going to be great! That said I once owned one of the closed case back 4813 Nautilus' (with incorrect date window) and that was actually pretty well put together!!

it has slightly better lume compared to the older non-existent lume we had like in 09 but nothing to really shout about.

 

i have a question tho, for the GEN, does the crystal sit flushed to the case or its slightly raised.?

looks pretty clean for a "cheaper version". As long as you like it, that's what matters
