- Nautilus 5712 is a highly debated replica watch in the industry, generating diverse opinions on its value and desirability. ZF introduced the initial version of the replica Patek Philippe Nautilus 5712 years ago, which was crafted from stainless steel and featured a blue dial. However, the power reserve on that particular replica was not authentic. Subsequently, ZF released an updated version of the 5712, known as the V2 edition, equipped with a superior clone 240 movement that included a genuine power reserve. This improved version commanded a significantly higher price from ZF.
- Regarding the rose gold Nautilus 5712r, ZF initially released the V1 version in September. However, just last week, ZF released an upgraded V2 version of this replica watch, which is now considered a better replica. In my opinion, while the stainless steel Nautilus 5712 with a blue dial is considered a super clone, the rose gold model has significant differences when compared to the genuine watch.
- I visited the official website of Patek Philippe and discovered a rose gold Nautilus 5712r. The genuine watch has a brown dial that perfectly complements its rose gold tone. However, the replica has a dial color that appears more grayish, which is a noticeable difference. It’s quite easy to distinguish this replica from the genuine one when you’re wearing it among your friends. Another significant distinction can be found in the clasp, as its structure differs from that of the genuine watch. Additionally, the engravings on the movement plate of the replica watches do not possess the same level of three-dimensionality as those on the genuine watch. These three differences are quite apparent, and that’s why I don’t recommend purchasing this replica at the moment.
- The replica watch has several attractive features, such as its super clone 240 movement, accurate case shape with a similar case thickness, and correct functions similar to the genuine watch. However, there is a need for improvement in the dial color, as it currently lacks appeal to potential buyers. In our market, many dealers offer custom-made options for the replica watch. They replace imperfect dials or bezels with genuine parts to address the imperfections in the rose gold replica 5712r. Some dealers have even made modifications to the replica, like the one shown below. This particular replica 5712r has been fitted with SW’s dial and hands, and the moon phase has been replaced with VVS’s moon phase. SW and VVS are two factories in our market that specialize in manufacturing watch parts. Additionally, the molder has used solid rose gold for this replica watch, which contributes to its higher price.
- By the way, although the V2 version has been released, ZF is still selling the V1 edition of the 5712r. It is simple to determine whether the 5712 you purchased is V2 or V1 by checking the placement of the movement rotor. On V2, it is positioned at 9 o’clock, which is the opposite direction of the crown.

GR Factory Replica Patek Philippe 5396 Moon Phase Watch
I am deeply drawn to this Replica Patek Philippedue to its captivating color and impressive functions. It is produced by GR factory, although Z Factory also manufactures a similar watch with equal quality. It is difficult for me to determine which one is superior. GR is a reputable watch manufacturer known for their prompt release of replica models, particularly for certain Patek Philippe complications. Their prices are also more affordable compared to Z Factory. While Nautilus and Aquanaut are popular replica Patek Philippe models in the market, I believe that having a simple Patek Calatrava 5296 or the intricate 5205 is essential for any watch collection. I previously showcased a rose gold 5296 Patek from the Calatrava series on my blog, which exudes a classic charm and is made by Z Factory. Today, I will present another Patek Philippe replica with complex functions, the 5396, which initially I thought was related to the Calatrava 5296, but I was mistaken. This replica, manufactured by GR factory, is available in both rose gold and stainless steel options. I decided to showcase the rose gold model as it exudes a more exquisite appeal, particularly with the luxurious brown alligator leather strap.
The functionality of this replica watch is truly impressive, as the features are genuine and can be adjusted using the crown and buttons on the case. The moon phase indicator, with its sandblasted finish, closely resembles that of the authentic watch. It rotates once per month, just like the genuine version, and can be adjusted using the button located at the 5 o’clock position on the case. It is quite surprising that this replica includes a monthly moon phase indicator.The week and month are displayed in separate windows at the 12 o’clock position, and can be adjusted using the buttons located at the 10 o’clock and 3 o’clock positions respectively. With the crystal back, one can admire the intricate mechanics of the watch, complete with accurate engravings on the plates and automatic rotor. It is worth noting that both Z Factory and GR Factory utilize the Miyota 9015 as the base movement for this replica.
The band of this particular replica is crafted from calf leather and features an embossed crocodile print, which adds a touch of sophistication to the overall design. If you desire a more high-end, genuine alligator leather band, it can be custom made in the market, offering you a premium option. Rest assured, the price for such a customization is favorable, allowing you to elevate the luxury of your timepiece.
The Best Replica Tag Heuer Aquaracer with Original Swiss Movement
It’s understandable that everyone desires the best quality, but it’s important to acknowledge that the prices of high-quality replica watches, including Rolex super clones and Patek Philippe super clones, have risen significantly. This increase in pricing is attributed to advancements in watch-making technology and the general rise in production costs for manufacturers. Factors such as the impact of Covid-19 and heightened risks, such as raids, have also contributed to the rise in prices. As a result, obtaining a high-quality replica watch now demands a higher investment than in previous years, including increased shipping fees. While it’s natural to feel frustrated by these elevated costs, it’s important to recognize the broader industry trends and challenges that have led to this situation.
If you’re looking for your first replica watch without spending too much, you might want to explore other options beyond the high-priced super clone Rolexes that exceed $600. There are some other excellent choices available, such as the replcia Tag Heuer Aquaracer, which I believe is the top replica of this model in our market and can even compete with the super clones produced by Clean, ZF, and 3KF.This particular Tag Heuer Aquaracer does not come from the V6 factory, which we know is now closed. Instead, it is manufactured by a lesser-known factory called “Yuandan,” indicating that some of the watch components are original, just like the genuine product. For instance, it houses a Swiss Sellita SW200 movement, which is rumored to be the same automatic movement used in the genuine watch. Consequently, some people refer to it as an original Tag Heuer with a Swiss movement, rather than simply a replica.
In addition to the original Swiss movement, some other parts of this Tag Heuer Aquaracer replica are also sourced from genuine watches. As for how these original watch parts are obtained and used in the assembly of this replica, it is difficult to determine the exact process without specific information. However, it’s worth noting that China has a well-established manufacturing industry and produces components for various global brands, including luxury watches like Tag Heuer. It is possible that some authentic replcia Tag Heuer watch parts are sourced from Chinese suppliers.Regarding the specifications of this Tag Heuer Aquaracer replica, it features a case diameter of 43mm and a thickness of approximately 12mm. The watch is fully constructed with 316L stainless steel, which is a common material used in high-quality watchmaking. The black bezel is made of ceramic and has silver markers engraved at the correct depth, ensuring accurate replication of the original design.
The case and bracelet of this Tag Heuer Aquaracer replica exhibit exceptional craftsmanship, making it challenging to distinguish from a genuine watch. The impeccable finish, which I find difficult to put into words, can be best appreciated when compared side by side with an authentic timepiece in a store. Looking at the provided pictures, one can observe the striking contrast created by the combination of polishing and brushing techniques on the case. The edges and corners of the case are flawlessly executed, resulting in a visually stunning three-dimensional effect. This level of attention to detail is so remarkable that even a salesperson at a Tag Heuer boutique may not easily identify it as a replica when worn.
PP Factory Replica Patek Philippe Nautilus Moon Phase 5712 Rose Gold Watch
- Based on my experience, the best-selling replica Patek Philippe watches are the Nautilus 5711 and Aquanaut models. For the best super clones of these watches, I recommend several watch factories, including 3K, PPF, and PF.Regarding the complicated Nautilus model 5712, there are also several factories producing it, such as PPF, PF, and GR. However, the replica 5712 from PPF is the most popular and considered the best. The latest version, V2, from PPF has been announced but is currently out of stock. It may take a long time to receive the V2 edition after placing an order. The V1 edition of the 5712 from PPF is available, but it is often referred to as being made by ZF or as a joint production of PPF and ZF due to their cooperation.
- Today, I’d like to present another Patek Philippe Nautilus replica watch, the 5712 moon phase model in rose gold with a brown leather strap. This exquisite replica is crafted by the renowned PP factory (PPF) and is considered a super clone watch. The announcement of this replica was made several months ago by PP factory, and it has finally become available in stock. Personally, I find this rose gold Nautilus 5711 more appealing than the previous stainless steel model— the combination of the rose gold case and brown leather band adds a touch of luxury to the watch.
- The watch case is crafted from 316L stainless steel and then coated with a layer of rose gold. The current thickness of the gold plating is satisfactory, but it’s also an option to increase the thickness if desired. However, there is a workshop in our watch market that offers this service at a significantly high cost, potentially reaching up to 500 USD.
- The dial of this replica watch features an elegant gray color with a captivating asymmetrical design. The gray hue harmonizes beautifully with the rose gold tone of the case and the brown shade of the leather strap. Notably, the small-second subdial is positioned between 4:00 and 5:00, while the date indicator is located between 6:00 and 8:00. The date display is larger than the adjacent small dial on the right and includes a small white hand that points to the current date. Additionally, the dial showcases a functional moon phase indicator within a date circle. The only inauthentic element on the dial may be the power reserve indicator, which is displayed on the top left side.
- On the rear of the watch, intricate engravings can be observed on each lug, and the movement itself is truly a sight to behold. The micro auto rotor features a golden Patek logo engraving, adding a touch of elegance. Additionally, professional engravings are present on certain pieces of the movement plates, creating a striking resemblance to the authentic Patek Calibre 240. As for the brown leather band, it is crafted from high-quality alligator leather, offering a commendable standard. However, if desired, a customized genuine crocodile leather band can be obtained for an even more luxurious appeal. It’s worth noting that this replica watch commands a higher price compared to the regular Nautilus 5711, reflecting its exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail.
