boredpanda 1 Posted April 23, 2016 (edited) This is my impression of the pp 5711 (I believe this is the blue faced bp v1 with correct hands) Bought this off M2M over here and I quite like it so far. It is very light and rather dressy, not very sure if I can pull it off well yet but we'll see. Below are some pics for reference and my comments of this watch. Good It is very thin and elegant watch. Can't comment about color accuracy or dial accuracy as I've not seen a real 5711 before (DC has a thread that compares the miyota vs sw200 anyway) Hour marks are aligned relatively well (no complaints for me) Movement is not decorated but still very nice to look at Bad Link pins are not easy to get out (but can still be done and you'll probably only need to do it once) Date not exactly centered on this piece (not big issue) The date "18" on mine is kind of messed up and it looks quite bad Biggest gripe for me is that the hour marks (especially 4 and 10 o'clock very badly scratched up) and this is my fear for getting rep when I first started (so I got a PAM111 that has no polished indices and probably easier to rep) Side note: While photographing this watch I noticed that the seconds hand do not hack sometimes even when crown is fully out, could this be something wrong with a gear? Hopefully someone can chime in as I'm not an expert with hacking mechanisms Now I'm considering whether to send it to get AR treatment from prof Also, regarding the scratched hour markers, does anyone knows if it's common for reps? Like should I be expecting hour markers on a 15400 to be somewhat scratched (or generally any watches that has polished markers). If anyone wants to see the scratch markers, I'll post a bigger resolution picture for it. Picture of scratched markers (look at 4 and 10 o'clock). Sure you won't notice if you take 2 sec to look at the time. But when I'm trying to admire the beauty of the watch it appears time to time especially when under sunlight and the scratch will be quite obvious.

Jasonbaylee 192 Posted April 23, 2016 Nice write up, mate. Bring it up, im sure many would like to see the hrs markers. More than 1 road to Rome... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jasonbaylee 192 Posted April 23, 2016 (edited) Normally, the 11th hrs markers are either badly lumed or scatched in an obvious perspective. Yours seem pretty acceptable but of course nothing beats seeing in life as you owned it. I like this dial; very stunning. Wear it well. IMHO, im still waiting for a much better rep on this model.

_DC_ 218 Posted April 23, 2016 No doubt, this is the best rep available of the Nautilus. Great dial (a little green but I like it), correct hands and no decorated bridges so it's nice and slim, perfect!! Will have to get me one of these soon!! Congrats buddy!

DC I agree though it might be too green for me. Thank you for your comparison guide too! Any idea why is this the most popular as it always seem to be just this color (never white or black), gray on leather strap (sw200) or the 5980. It's always these 3 models.

If it turns out to be too green for you just drop me a PM, I'd be happy to take it off your hands! It's popular because it's the purest form of the Nautilus and by far the most dynamic. The White and black dial (the black dial is a fantasy model) don't have the same dynamism in the dials, nor does the grey but I love my 5711g for different reasons. The grey dial on strap is far more subtle and sophisticated, just a great watch but very different to the bracelet versions! DC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WatchaholicMallorca 2 Posted April 25, 2016 I have a Rose gold nautilus and also have scratched hour markers at 1,2 and 4. No idea why and didn't notice them when I first got it either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

insert-here 0 Posted April 26, 2016 I bought one of these m2m, just see what Patek was all about and why so many people like them. Turns out, it is one of my favorites in my collection, I was not expecting that. It fits well, sits on the wrist well, goes with most of what I wear, looks really sharp, and sits thin on my wrist. It's probably the most versatile watch I now have, and I like the simplistic dial, I can read the time easy for old man eyes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

_DC_ 218 Posted May 5, 2016 Yep, sure did. Most people here will attest to the fact that I'm always happy to talk Patek and answer most questions, but this is just pure lazy ignorance, so he will find a polite but fairly curt reply in his inbox!! DC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
