jakethemouse 0 Posted January 4, 2016 Hello all, I'm looking at modding a BP Miyota Naultilus 5711 http://v.yupoo.com/p...lbums/13301722/ and wanted to know if the hands from this 5711 Lite will fit without any modding require?. The listing from MR says it has an Asian 2838 movement http://v.yupoo.com/p...albums/8370143/ I know a 21J 2638/2813 Nautilus will fit but i'm having trouble finding it looking through the regular TDs I visit.. any help would be appreciated. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
damocles123 0 Posted January 6, 2016 Hi jakethemouse, I am pretty much in the same boat as you. Been looking everywhere for the 21J Nautilus with fat hands intended to have them swithced with my Miyota 5711, but no luck at all. DC mentioned trying Silix as they used to sell them, but I just checked, not anymore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stewart 0 Posted April 5, 2016 Has anyone tried the gen hands? I have been looking on chrono24 etc for a gold set of gen hands but cant find them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks My browser refuses to open the pictures there (it goes in timeout all the time). Can you embed the pics of the 2838 movements here to check what it is?

No problems, I'll load it in on to photobucket when I get to my PC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GenTLe 1,485 Posted April 5, 2016 By the way, reading around the web it looks like that the 2838 is another name of the high beat 4813, which is the 28.800bph version of the dg2813 21j. And I remember 2 things about this: there was once a Nautilus equipped with the 4813, so it may be that one. 2nd thing I remember is that the 4813 version of the nautilus is long time gone and out of stock... But since now BP started to produce again an high beat Miyota one with the proper hands, why don't you try to contact your TD asking him to find you the proper hands BP is using now, maybe "facilitating" the proposal saying that you will also buy him, in the meantime, one of his watches that you like?

Thanks gentle, Thats what I ended up doing just before chinese new year. I got the BP version with correct hands which I've now put up for sale. I'm probably going to regret letting it go but I've got my eye on some new pieces. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
