Nautilus 5711 Ddf vs Vf Comparison

Comprehensive comparative analysis of Nautilus 5711 Ddf and Vf models: Case finishes, movement precision, dial details and production tolerances are examined in detail with Saat Detective expertise standards.

A while ago, many people were talking about a factory: Victory. They produce Rolex replicas and Nautilus 5711, and also claim to use the same watch parts as the old Clean Factory. That's why many customers who want to buy replica Rolex watches whose quality is close to Clean prefer those from Victory; This factory is also called V or VF.

Besides Rolex, VF also produces replica Nautilus 5711. Many people say that this is actually Clean's project; Clean had already begun producing the Nautilus before being forced to close, but that factory was closed before the watch was released, so VF took over that project.

So how is the Nautilus 5711 made by VF? Today I will show you a brief comparison between DDF and VF on Nautilus 5711. I'm going with the blue model because this color is the most popular.

Dial and Hand Details

When the Nautilus 5711 is mentioned, many factories come to mind: PPF, 3KF, DDF, BBF, VF and some custom-made versions with SW dial or BUFF dial. There are too many options, which is not good for buyers; You need to know which factory does the best. First of all, let me say that there are not many people who buy from PPF and 3KF. There are no deep engravings on PPF's mechanism plates. There is a big difference in dial color on the 3KF.

In the following two hours, the left is from VF, the right is from DDF. They both have a blue dial, but the VF's dial looks purplish. Both dial colors are close to that of the original watch. So why do they look different? It is said that the dial color of the original Nautilus 5711 with the 324 movement is close to the watch on the left, while the blue dial color of the original Nautilus 5711 with the 330 movement is close to the watch on the right; The DDF on the right actually has a clone 330 movement. I didn't like the purplish-blue dial on the VF, though. I prefer the dial color on DDF and BBF. I had previously made A review on BBF 5711, you can find the details in that article.

There is another difference between these factories on the dial. It's also a lume color.

There is a difference in the lume color on the hour markers and the hour and minute hands in DDF.

In BBF and VF, the lume on the hour markers and the hour and minute hands are almost the same in color.

However, on DDF, BBF and VF, the date font is slightly thinner than on the SW dial. That's why many customers who pursue perfection pay for CNC case and replace the dial with SW dial.

Strap, Buckle and Comfort

Case and Body Workmanship

As for the case thickness, I measured it all; The case thickness of DDF 5711 is 8.67 mm. The case thickness of BBF 5711 is 8.32 mm. The case thickness of VF 5711 is 8.4 mm. The case with the most correct thickness is that of BBF 5711.

Result:

Don't be confused; It's a good choice whether you buy from DDF or BBF. If you prefer a purplish-blue dial, get the VF 5711. This blue Nautilus 5711 replica is extremely popular in the market, but it is difficult to make the dial perfect; Each factory has a difference in dial color on this watch. Considering all aspects and cost, go for the one from BBF.
