This $100,000 Patek Philippe Copy Is UNREAL

- It’s just been discontinued, it’s rarer than snake’s feet and it costs over $100,000. It’s the Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711, so of course it’s been copied-and you’ll struggle to tell the difference. Here’s why...

@@dor-si9145 for fake vs real videos?
When conducting a "Real vs Fake" comparison video, viewers will find it more beneficial to feature comparable dials (referring to the dial variations where the authentic is a pre-Basel 2018 dial). Now all the folks with authentic 2018+ 5711s that weren't purchased directly through boutique or AD are worried. See comments below from folks calling out the obvious dial difference that wasn't discussed in the video.
@@N0gai yes but i think they were reinstated.
That is an AAA China watch. it cannot be compared to Ziarex watches because they sell real super clones, basically the same watches as the originals.
I feel these are so underrated
Very underestimated
Before, there was only China selling replicas and manufacturing them, but now ZiaRex is the best in the world and operates from Europe.
Top, manda o pix! 🇧🇷💸
I was delusional before, thinking only China could make replicas, but now I know even Italy and Switzerland make them too, and ZiaRex is their representative.
"buying new isnt an option anymore" - yeah, like it was an option before :/
Oh really? A $30K watch isn't an impulse purchase for you? How's life on the other side of the tracks? LOL
@@Mister_Phafanapolis Yeah, I usually go to buy groceries and end up coming back with a Patek and a couple of Vacheron's just because I liked how they looked in the boutiqe. Don't understand these people.
@Sbsjsj Hdjskdn IT’S A JOKE!
Me too my impulse buys is why the Rolex wait list is so long
"A Swiss watch has a better feeling."
I don't know. Paying $100k for a $30k watch is like going to Mercedes dealer, paying for an S class and getting a Honda.
Edit: I love Swiss watches but there's no fucking way I'd pay 3x retail for a Patek when there's so much more out there.
No kidding.
The S class Mercedes will leave you on side the road many, many times , the Honda will turn over 400,000 miles without ever seeing the Honda service department!
Redbull using a Honda engine is hand to hand battle with Mercedes in the F1 championship as we speak...
The problem is not Patek, it’s the consumers speculating or flexing.
Same as with all Rolex and AP.
@@KC-bv9kf agree its also the re-sellers flippers and gray market fueling these fake speculated prices , and rich clients who dont really know anything about watches who fall for it that make a 30k watch worth 100k .
If someone buys a 100k Patek and gets ripped off with a fake, that someone should not buy a 100k Patek in the first place.
Someone dropping $100k on a watch probably will be okay.
Well after all buying a fake he is not buying the real one... Buy in trusted retailers not from anybody unknown online or other. Get the real paperwork of the historial of the assistance and the payslip of the shop. Even if the watch is a fake you can vet your money back.
No one should pay even half that amount in a Nautilus. Real or fake
You are absolutely right. There's no appreciable difference to spend over $100,000.
Nuff said 😂🤣
I own a genuine Patrick Philip from Phuket.
Lol

Lol
Ahh yes, the famous watch maker! Rich history! 🤣
This is another piece of proof that "You don't buy the watch, you buy the seller."
Well, yea that’s how watchmaking is now. Gone are the days of innovation and technical competition. It’s all about the materials, complexity, and heritage from a brand or watch model. Kinda like in the car industry, people buy old jdm cars and vintage porsches because they’re nice, have legendary statuses, and are usually mechanical or “driver inclusive” even though it’s outdated.
or... that Pateks are over priced AF? Your call.
@@Sean-xu5ti To be fair, ALL luxury watches are over priced AF. That's part of the point.
like every other luxury item in life
I’d hate to accidentally scratch a 100 grand timepiece so, the fake would suit my lifestyle best.
It keeps it's value even if you smash it. I've seen so many broken rolexes go on auction on ebay for much more than their market price
And where could I get one such fake 😂😇
Buying fake is just fooling yourself, plus suffering the ridicule, not forgetting funding criminal organisations involved in everything right up to human trafficking. If you like the style. do the right thing and buy one of the many homage watches that don't pretend to be the real thing. Have some self respect.
@@brianmsahin you're view is limited narrow etc. You think the big companies are all good and right, when actually the big corporations and co are the most despotic and corrupt. I wouldn't buy the real thing which is over priced anyway, and yes faking it till you make it is a very pragmatic decision that will not hinder you in anyway so long as the assumption is you have this high end watch which is not recognisable. I'd refuse to sponsor companies such as these and others who have done bad stuff ethically in the past, and thus I'd like to support smaller organisations in foreign lands who struggle to survive and have to do this which isn't really unethical in the grand scheme of things when they are just replicating a watch from companies who charge absurd prices for the elite. The most successful and pragmatic individuals do not flaunt their wealth nor wear the greatest items, yet they are humble in their doings and many wear fakes in order to get the same thing. I'd argue different, you do you.

I remember when these were going for around $40k and I thought That was ridiculous ... The assets bubble is getting ever more apparent.
It’s what happens when central bankers print more money.
And when a loaf of bread will cost $40,000, you got it covered!
The fake you have uses a Miyota 9015 movement that has been decorated to look like a PP 324CS, however, there is a factory known as 3KF who have a "cog-for-cog" clone of the movement and that's even harder to tell from the original.
Yeah, this definitely isn't a $1000 rep. Heck, even the 3KF Super Clone with the replica A324 movement is only $500-600.
Thanks for the tip! Love to contribute to devaluate the value of the absurdly high priced original 5711 by buying a super clone fake like thousands of others, LOL!
People are fickle that’s why these prices are sky high … They can keep the Nautilus and Royal Oak! Lots of other gorgeous watches still within the wisdom of common sense and reach…
@@idosu2835 I've never seen a $1000 rep of a Nautilus or any watch for that matter, except some RM tourbillons 😬
3KF
If Brands like Rolex, PP and AP stop all these artificial supply shortage by not withholding inventory and people can actually get one at retail price, all these wouldn’t happen
Imagine someone saving up for his grail AP, PP or Rolex, only to literally get said in the face by the AD, “gtfo, you’re not our priority customer”, and finding out you have to pay 3x the money you saved to obtain it from the Secondary market.
I’m not saying go get a rep, but then the appeal of a replica becomes more obvious. You wanted that look but you couldn’t get it from retail and prices in the secondary market are crazy.
This watches are a luxury good, nobody gets killed because there's a shortage of them, and people who can afford them are happier if there is a shortage because it makes it even more luxurious and sought-after; the artificial shortage is literally the only reason why PP, AP and all these other brands didn't go bankrupt in the 70s during the quartz crisis, without it nobody could buy these watches because they wouldn't even exist anymore.
If you are saving up to buy one of this watches but can't afford to be a priority customer, it's obvious that you are not in the financial position to be buying a watch like that, these are made for people who have so much money they can throw them out the window, they don't care if somebody can't get their grail watch because the less people can buy their watches the more the second hand prices go up and thus the more noise they make, and being talked about is the most important thing for a luxury brand.
Of course you are right in saying that this can be seen as a problem by people who want the look but can't get it, and this as you said makes the replica more appealing, but probably the type of person that buy replica wouldn't buy a real PP even if they had the money, if you go on the RepTime reddit, you can see that a lot of people who buy replica watches DO have the money to buy a real watch (they often have yatches, or luxury cars), they just choose not to. At the end of the day, having a watch can mean a lot of things to a person, I'm not the type of guy who'd buy a replica because it just woulnd't feel right for me from a moral prospective, if a person doesn't care about the morals (which I'm not saying is a bad thing, just another opinion) and just wants the look, they will choose to buy the cheaper version almost all the time, even if it costed only a couple of thousant less.
Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
@@AntonioBenetti title: the Bible 2 - whole story of watches and their fakes
The person above said it right. I just want to add that if those TOP 3 Luxury brands were producing enough watches to fulfill the whole market, then they wouldn't be exclusive at all.
Actually they would not be anything close to what they are. They would all be Omegas - producing watches with a very high horological value, but targeting the massmarket.
With Rolex, AP and PP, a lot of discontinued models feel like limited editions, although they aren't and I think that is beautiful and what makes them what they are.
They are the high end luxury and IMO, if you don't mind spending $15K for a Daytona, it shouldn't be a problem for you to spend $45K on it.
Nobody who saved $35k for a nautilus but got rejected would buy a replica lmao.
Agree, PP’s price really get crazy. They control the amount which they produce yearly ( Rolex as well). You can check the price from chrono24 and PP website the 5711 have 70k price difference. If you go to PP store you will be asked to buy some watches then you can buy 5711 or some hot series. For example, my friend, they own the real Rolex also buy the fake one. He said the people buy these real watch at this time really stupid. The fake one .. he drive porsche .. the people still think that is real one. The price is 100 times different …
If the 5711 is going for $100k, then I am not going to decry any fakes.
Absurd.
Especially when a respectable tourbillon can be had for a little more than half that.
How absurd...
By seeing a person, it is literally IMPOSSIBLE to distinguish the real from fake
What is with all the swissarex testimonials? They all sound the same.
And all with 34 likes… you a bot too?
Makes me appreciate my real Grand Seiko even more.
The great thing about the Japanese it that they will manufacture for the affordable and the luxury, and you can still count on product no matter what. I've noticed that in the watches, fountain pens, and cars. Europeans definitely segment the market. Their motto is, "You get what you pay for."
How much is a Grand Seiko and how is the quality compared to other luxury watches like Patek and Rolex?
@@Skyrise369 I would put up my GS against any Swiss brand. It certainly may not have the heritage of a Patek or Rolex, but the craftsmanship is certainly on par in most respects and one can argue maybe better in areas. MSRP for GS has quite a wide range, however, IMO a $6k GS punches above its weight class against a similarly priced Rolex.
@@genechi9358 thanks for the response, good to know, one last thing as an investment how is the grand seiko resell market .

Bravo Watchfinder & Co, as one of the largest watch TH-cam Channels it's so good to see you guys take a lead and do one of these Real vs Fake videos now, after so many other watch channels have subsequently had videos deleted and their channels taken down. For TH-cam to object against such a video is completely wrong when you view in the entirety. If only your viewpoint was universally accepted.
I think it's time that we shift our focus completely from the Royal Oak and Nautilus. We should give our due attention to pieces of other brands as well which are doing an exceptional job at much more collector friendly prices.
Let's look at only the steel/ titanium sports watch offerings
> Zenith Defy Classic in titanium and blue dial.
> Zenith Chronomaster Sport.
> Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra.
> Omega Seamaster diver 300
> H Moser and Cie Streamliner
> Urban Jurgensen One

I hope youtube won't delete your channel after this video.
Watchfinder did a couple videos like this before.
This shows everyone with half a brain all the high end watch companies are taking the piss out of us.If a thousand dollar fake is such an engineering marvel , what has the $99 grand been spent on!!
Not everthing is about fundamentals. There are new handbags, trainers, designer labels and even antiques that are 100x of its intial value. $200 Beats headphones cost just $18. Y
That 99K is being taken to their Bank with them laughing all the way. You can hear them say Sucker!
The Chinese are merely showing the world what a nice watch should cost in the day of CNC manufacturing, where production costs in volume are, and should be affordable.
I'll tell you where - The 'Patek Philippe' name on the watch
You buy a Patek to show you can burn 100k. Not for the craftsmanship. Same with Ferrari or Bugatti etc.
This video is the holy grail for the fake watch makers LOL. Side-by-side I am seeing so many things they can improve on to replicate the original.
This is not a very good one.. The easiest tell is look at the crown.. It sticks out more than the gen.
A lot of the things pointed out are simply not economical for the replica makers to reproduce like the finishing and level of detail, but the few obvious flaws like the protruding crown could be fixed rather easily. As said in the video, the factories likely know all the flaws pointed out in the video and more.
@@philwongnz the easiest tell is the Petek Phillipe Geneve text on the dial. The real one has the text on the horizontal lines of the dial, while the fake has the text in between the lines and interrupts the flow of the slot. That type of text positioning is used by Patek, just not on the 5711
@@rodrigogutierrezreyes4702 I think it depends which versions of the 5711 you are looking at as there are a few dial variants.
@@philwongnz you're right some variations have the text in between the lines. Another one, on the dial side is the markers, they are thicker than the original one and at twelve are together as opposed to the original which are a little separate from each other.
great video , the split shot with the second hand matching is one to be proud of .
The camerawork and lighting on this channel is ☝️
The most overhyped and overrated watch in history
Proves the point that a sucker is born every minute
Dont forget the Royal Oak!
Well, in my opinion, $100k to some people is like $10 bucks. If you can genuinely afford a great watch, buying it doesn’t make you a sucker…it’s an exercised prerogative.
@@billboudreaux1 If it is like that you should buy a watch made from premium materials and with complications. (Not a steel garbage, where you pay 90% for the brand name)
The emperor's new clothes are, apparently, more gorgeous than ever in some eyes.
That rotor engraving difference is startling.
For a 100x the price? It's really not...
I’ll say I have a Chinese Phatek Pillippe Aquanaut - I have very good vision and can definitely tell the movement is not what you’d expect from PP. But overall I love the watch and I’m def in the crowd that might have paid retail for an Aquanaut, think that price is fair for what it is, but the buyers in the market have gone irrational.
@@derekflanderschang9654 for real though. 6 figures for an Aqua is lunacy.
+ the "Patek Philippe Geneve" on the dial
These are some of my favorite videos. It's insane how close the fakes are
’’it's rarer than snakes feet” 🤣
Chickens teeth
“Like the milliseconds difference between a 911 and GT3…” give this poor man a 911 anytime 😜
The one thing I noticed, is that the Real Patek's "GENEVE" is aligned to the top of their bar on their face, and it bother's the heck out of me!
Almost seems like the guy who made it wants the fake watch wearer to be called out. Because it is kinda very obvious. Once you you know....
Funny how it actually calms MY ocd 🤦♂️
@@gglen2141 until you realize that other 5711s have them not aligned to the top... it varies lol

Thank you for sharing the comparison. Don't think I'll even be able to afford the Patek, but still nice to know :) I do agree that there are so many new and used watches for $1000 and under -- Hamilton, Longines, Oris, Formex, ect. The list is surprisingly long.
Excellent video 👍. The comparison with other watches is spot on. Good clones usually cost enough to buy a good watch. In between any possibility you review the Omega worldtimer?

Another proof that Chinese watchmaking is much better than Swiss marketing wants you to believe.
P.s. The printing is better on the fake. I hope that will give you a better feeling when buying Swiss.
There is also black marks on the lume of 10 o clock on the real 😂 they aren’t perfect watches at all, get under a macro and both PP and AP are average

There are far better replicas of the Nautilus out there.

@@deanpixx Would you mind sharing where they bought it ?? Thank you
r/reptime
any sugession?
@@chillax2108 I don't condone purchasing replicas but if you're going to go down that route, replicahaus does a better job than this one. But there are much nicer time pieces that are real, with real long lasting quality that you can get (Seiko, Hamilton, endless micro brands, etc) instead of a replica. And then you're not throwing your integrity out the window. Years ago, I purchased a replica from replicahaus when I was blackout drunk. Spent $1200+ and it's the only watch purchase I've ever regretted. I'd rather get a $500 micro brand with quality, integrity and character than a knockoff.
Not gonna lie. Some part of the fake one is more distinct that the real one.
I agree. The dial looks better on the fake.
Did they find it too difficult to print on top of the raised, horizontal ridge, so they just created the flat gap for an easier printing surface? That's a HUGE obvious difference, not even qualifies as a "detail". Strange they had no problem printing the dot markers on the ridge surfaces.
Exactly my thoughts. The copoed more difficult details and messed with the dial in order to print the logo in a way that gives it away with a single glance. And they only had to print on the raised surface, not the lowered ones. 🤔
They were different variations of the dial print throughout the years, so they resemble a different model. ✌🏽
@@Leonardo-ej8dx So our beloved watchfinder did a mistake comparing a genuine watch with a clone of a previous - different model- edition? 😝
@@Leonardo-ej8dx Ahh, thanks for clearing that up.
@@bozosni To be fair, I think its pretty difficult to get a hold of the Nautilus 5711, and then to get the exact same year model is even tougher.
I love how this video and (probably) a macrolens or something equivalent used to shoot it, makes the differences between the real and the fake so BLATANTLY OBVIOUS, but in reality I assume that separating the two can be really painstaking.
I truly hope TH-cam doesn’t think this video is “advertising” fake watches like it did for JOMW several weeks ago 🙄
Thanks for your insight. I really love watches and would rather buy directly from the manufacturer even if it means having to cough up more dineros and, on top of that, I have the peace of mind that I’m buying the real thing.
That is the issue, I am on a waiting list for an AP and a Naut, with over 170k$ of purchase history with my AD, two years later, i still did not get one, that is one of the reasons why this black market exists.
The other reason is obviously people who will not buy a gen anyway so no loss there for the company.
P.S
I literally waited less to get my porsche.
To be fair he does advertise ‘fakes’ when ever he reviews Pagani design and similar brands. They are not homages as people claim but fakes with a different name on them.
@@Jabber-ig3iw 💯 the chinese counterfeiters simply figured out that people will still buy them even with goofball name.
Who cares? It's all ridiculousness anyway.
Buying & using a Fake is like robbing a bank and hopping no one finds out as you use the money you robbed.
Is it just me or does the fake's dial look a lot better than the real one's? Especially in the first two minutes... Please tell me I'm not the only one?
The color and the indices seem to have more contrast. Especially on the indices you can see that they look sharper on the fake one as the real one has a more rounded finish on them. It's indeed scary to compare those watches. Apart from the design differences (e.g. brand positioning / printing on the dial) it would be really hard to tell which one is real if you don't have the chance to take a look at the movement.
@@SinnerAndSaint The difference in the hands is also visible when you look at them from the side, but I also feel the application of the lume looks better on the fake. Definitely scary how close they're getting though.
Honestly, if you really wanted this watch why would you even bother buying the authentic one.. Also that fake costs around only $500 USD.
I wouldn’t be happy with the fake, you buy a nautilus for more than the materials. Just get a Seiko or something.
It makes me wondering.
If a watch at that level quality (the fake one) can be bought for 1K, what makes the other (the original) priced at 100K?
I can only justify the original priced at around 10-20K.
Because people are stupid, especially rich people. Anyone who spends £100k on a watch that retails at £19,000 isn't smart, they're insecure. As if having that specific watch is going to impress anyone. Just buy another watch that is equally nice like the VC Overseas that you can get for retail.
2:50 "avoiding the situation altogether is the best solution" - you won't buy $100k watch fake if you don't try to buy a $100k watch
what it means is these real watches are overcharging because the most expensive worth is our own ego.
What's the point of even buying something expensive like this if no one knows or cares about the brand? The only people I see buying these are either collectors or people trying to make a profit out of them.
Honestly, the Swiss watch industry is becoming too greedy
They're scum. I wish death upon the industry because they lie and mislead about country of origin (glass, bracelets, cases and movement ebauches are mostly made in SEA and sent to Switzerland) and I just don't believe there is enough that can be done to justify a $10K, $50K or $100K three hand, steel watch.
hello Im wondering why do some nautilus models have a different logo print on the dial than others? does patek produce both prints?
Nice editing at 5.20 onwards with the transition of the seconds hand from one dial to the other!
I saw that too. So smooth!
You should get one with a clone movement, they are insanely close to genuine watches, its scary
What do you mean by that? Are there fakes with movements that are based on the Original movement? Do you have an example?
@@Skateuniverses yes, lots of fakes have replica movements now.
Rolex, Omega too
Mutton dressed as lamb
This is one with the clone movement. Older versions had a normal unmodified (well, aparte the PP engravings) Miyota 9015 inside.
It's only scary if you paid $100K for it, believing it to be genuine!
Isn't the dial like obviously different?
There are different variations of the Nautilus dial..
Yet another example of the unnecessary use of the word "like"
@@cliffwheeler7357 Haha, went on a little rant there :)
Why are TH-camrs always exaggerating the prices of those high end replicas? The best 3 hander ones are usually between $440 - §500 and not $1000.
Exactly. I thinks it's because they still want to maintain an illusion of high prices even for reps. After all Mr Hands & Co flog second hand watches after all 😝 If folk really knew how cheap and good the reps are no one in their right mind would pay 1000s for what are basic stainless steel watches.
Gen 5711, 8.3mm thick.
PPF factory, decorated Miyota movement, 8.5mm thick (and cannot be fixed).
3KF factory, 1-1 rep of actual gen movement (minus free sprung balance), 8.5mm thick, but can be fixed.
With a 100k watch you will just store it somewhere else and use from time to time avoiding the elements or never. With a high end fake you can use it everyday and face the elements and once you have it appreciated they won't even know whether it is a fake or not it will appreciate also in price maybe same as the real deal.
If the fakes for 1/100th of the price get this close, it means that the original is way overpriced.
It´s a beautiful design, with great finishing and heritage.
But it´s still a stainless steel watch with a date-complication.
The finishing, as great as it is, isn´t 99.000 $ worth.
It´s just supply and demand.
The Nautilus is worth 40.000 - 60.000 $ tops imo.
Not that I could afford it, anyway.
It's worth 10k Max
@Lassi Kinnunen 81 The difference with fashion brands is that there isn´t really much craftsmanship or artistry going into the production, instead being made by cheap workers in bad conditions and not experienced artisans hand finishing watch movements.
@@Emu_Emu I would definitely put a Nautilus´ worth above 10k because of masterful detailed finishing, but purely material- and complication wise, it´s not that exciting.
@@Emu_Emu Maybe you´re right, but sadly we rarely ever get to buy something slightly above material and labour value.
These brands would probably not even survive that way nowadays, hence why so many Swiss watch companies rebranded themselves as high luxury after the Quartz Crisis.
I would really love to own a Nautilus / Royal Oak or Platinum Daydate, but it´s unlikely I´ll ever have that kind of money haha.
Finally a Watchfinder ad. About ‘ehem’ time!
If the fake costs 100,000 dollar,,, you’re getting screwed
Idk. Maybe there is something inherently wrong that a 100,000k watch exists?
It is possible the fake contributes to countering a balance?
No, this 100k watch is for only a handful of people. There are plenty of affordable watches, costing way less than the fake, for the people who can´t afford an overhyped (albeit iconic) watch. If anything, the fakes means that a lot of people who would have bought a genuine affordable watch will give their money to the fakers instead.
And, besides, there are many other watches costing way more than 100k, and that´s perfectly fine, someone else will buy them. Check this one, for example: th-cam.com/video/kkmR9Nbomzw/w-d-xo.html
Relative to the other ones, the Patek Philippe is much easier to tell apart from its counterfeits! Best watches!
the way they did the name on the fake looks more professional than the real thing to my eye
Which TD did you use? Is this a ZF or a 3KF version?
The 3KF 5711 has a direct clone movement, FAR superior then the one shown in the video, using that miyota movement with decoration plates. You’ll be blown away

Scary 😧 that’s a few tweaks away from being perfect 😬 they should stop making fakes and develop their own watches. They could probably make better watches than most Swiss brands.
They don't have the imagination to do so. It's so much easier copying than creating.
If only they put this talent to work on something original even if influenced by other brands it would be amazing to see unique budget timepieces that who knows could become a big time brand in the future.
One thing true about both watches - they're both pretending to be worth more than they actually are.
I could tell straightaway from the date window!! ;-)
Couldn’t think of a better way to spend a gloomy rainy Sunday! Thank you Watchfinder 😍
You make some of the greatest watch videos I've ever seen. Keep up the good work. I'd like to see you do a video on 1st generation Gevril Seacloud GMT 3102. These swiss timepieces are from the early 2000's and have exceptional quality. They are very hard to come by as they are quite rare. However, this watch is not to be confused with the current versions of the seacloud. There is a huge difference in their look and quality.
The fact that some of these knock offs are so hard to tell at up close inspection kills the argument of AP/PP/etc pricing these days being justified from “the high end finishing”
With this watch, if you see the slightest burr on any edge, it's going to be a fake. You will need a 10x loupe I would think.
Could you pass a Q-tip or swatch of cotton and see if it snags?
There are a few very obvious differences. Though I suspect if it were viewed without the ultra high res close-up comparison, only a connoisseur would be able to call it out.
For Realzz????
The most glaring difference is the part most people will be drawn to and that’s the watch brand name. The fake has this area blocked out. I don’t know if Patek ever did this design but if you know the year of the watch was the same as the real then it’s too easy to spot a fake.
The Patek Philippe on the dial is the biggest giveaway. Lettering should be fully on the individual bar.
Yeah this is a 400$ replica
The next focus of micromachining will likely be on fine finishing of movements and to a lesser degree cases, dial etc (though for day to day purposes that seems to be pretty advanced already): that is the labor intensive process that so far machines are not able to replicate even individually, let alone scale. Patek Phillipe craftsmen are indeed willing to simply spend the extra time to perfect every tiny surface of the movement, case, dial, hands...every part of the watch seems perfect at magnification levels that make even a genuine Rolex seem like a 1995 Chinese knockoff. As soon as that can be automated at scale - assuming it can - then the fun begins.
I'm sitting here making mental notes as if I was actually going to buy a Patek. 🤣
Maybe some day you might! I was watching one about rolex and i recently bought my dream datejust and i could apply what i watched into it. It's an awesome experience.
@@yapolloable I appreciate your optimism!
To your argument on buying a fake having an impact on the original company, perhaps a little bit of that is a good thing in this case. It is clearly possible to build, say, 20% of the watch for 1% of the money, and perhaps these watches would present a welcome downward pressure on the prices of the real ones. I'm not saying I personally hold these views, but maybe they're worth a thought. There's a point at which pricing becomes so ridiculous that it is maddening, even for someone like myself who doesn't like the design of the Nautilus at all.
You are very correct, the 5711 is in reality a good 8-9k watch at most, I have one and the build quality is no better than my GP Laureato, in fact I think the Laureato is an overall better package.
Pretty easy to tell them apart though lol. First comparison is so obvious with the letters on the cipher not being on the ridge
Machining is different on the watch face but that doesn't help in deciding real vs fake
@@danielfrancis3660 If all originals have letters on the ridge, how does it now help in deciding which one is real, when comparing these types of fakes to originals?
What this video really exposes is the gross overpricing for Swiss luxury watches. If others can make virtually the same thing and turn a profit at $1,000 then Patek and others are simply charging for their name; which is fine, that's how 'Luxury' works. But.....you know. Stop lying about it. We get it.
Only 60% of the _value_ of the watch comes from Switzerland and that includes marketing and research & development. That means most of the watch is made overseas and then assembled in Switzerland like a model kit. People have fallen very hard for the Swiss' luxury watch marketing.
Seems pretty straightforward to me. There is no harm to be done to the original company since they no longer produce the watch and any money made from it would go directly to third parties. The only question left to be answered is:
Are the differences worth the extra 99000 and the risk of getting a more convincing fake either way?
Buying it for 1000 would leave no doubt that it is fake but if it's a very convincing fake that can only be told apart from an original in the presence of an original... Does it even matter any more?
No it doesn't matter any more. The real 1:1 super clones are fantastic value.
Imagine what they could do in a $2000 clone.
The "$1000" is just for views, I can swear to god that that rep is around $500
you can buy a better clone than the one shown in the video with a fully cloned movement (except balance mechanism) for about $600. The one shown is about $500 I think. Not $1000, certainly not 1000 pounds.

@@danielKravtsov look at Reptime and RWI forums as a start. I won't go into more detail as it is a faux pas to say too much in the "public domain" because the high profile does make it easier for manufacturers and authorities to note which factories to target just from names. They can and probably do perform this sort of research anyway but it's even been mentioned here. It takes maybe 10+ hours to forge a semi decent understanding of that ecosystem if you already have a very deep and laterally varied understanding of watches in general. I bet I know more about watches than 99% of the "purists" who know shit all about the actual mechanisms and how every bit is made and machined. Reps offer an aesthetic gateway into the world of "luxury" watches. They are mechanical toys but honestly no different than the deeper hedonism and delusion of these purists. They don't understand watches, they don't understand money... sometimes they have a bit of it though. I am confident plenty more rep buyers are actually wealthier if you remove the teenagers trying to flex.
oh and btw MANY people who own genuine watches also own plenty of high end reps. They are beginning to become that "worth it". In fact plenty more in the entire watch community who venture into reps end up staying almost exclusively in the reps after they dip their toes in.
I will warn you though. It helps if you are at least semi capable at doing mods and repairs. That's an area reps simply cannot match genuines in - quality control. You get some perfect ones out of the box, sometimes you get minor misalignments which can be a 2 minute or 2 hour fix depending on the issue and how capable you are with actual watchmaking. It's a fun hobby and rewarding in a way genuine pieces will never satisfy. Both are an endless chase because at the heart, it is empty hedonism. You cannot stop unless you manage to see these things for what they are.
If you aren't capable, you need a brilliant watchmaker who is willing to work on replicas. There are plenty of pitfalls with reps! Even buying them is a pain in the ass as I'm sure this channel understands unless they sourced it from someone who is reselling their replica for 2x the price they paid.
Honestly, the part these videos are missing is using the tool(not sure what its called) that tells you how well it runs.
Those are virtually identical though so it’s pointless. On some watches the real will be better and on some the fakes will be better.
after watching so many of these macro shot videos I spotted the low quality bits right away. Misaligned date window, The unpolished button on the seconds hand, poor engraving, index markers with poor fit, rough dial.
In theory what you are saying makes sense, but to a person who doesn’t want any other swiss watch for $1000 . The super clone is what will make them happy 😊
right? u honestly get shittier movements too in $1k swiss watches. Eta bullshit they use in $500 clones anyway. Most affordable watches either look like shit, try to look like a better watch brands design, and/or straight up have lower complicated movements than clones that cost 1/2 the price. All at the expense of micro details and the lack of meticulous finishing and trustable waterproofing..... who tf swims in a watch anyway?
I just watched a video about a watch that I don't even like! But I'd probably watch any of these videos as they go in to so much detail.
I'd like to see a video about a seagull chronograph if you have not done one yet?
The manufacturers of the fake should be shut down. It is the right thing to do.
the fake is such high quality, i'm shocked. Always bring a loupe to buy a watch. haha
I prefer my Rollax Day Dateona
It's nice, but not a hundred times nicer.
The Logo placement on the fake one looks MUCH better than the real one.
I do wish there was an option to commission a “certified” replica eg for wearing out and about / at night - akin to what many fine art owners do with paintings (a lot of times the real ones are held in safes and what you see in the house is a copy). But I see the risk as well given the history of forgery in the art world…
It's just not quite the same. With paintings, there only exists one original, and so it's accepted that in order for more than one person to enjoy it, you have to have copies, and the original must be protected at all costs. But, with luxury watches, even a "genuine" is usually a copy: one of tens, hundreds, or even thousands. Sure, you should treat it with respect, but it's okay if it gets some scratches when you use it as it was designed for.
@@Richie_P fair point, and if the market was suddenly flooded with 10 Mona Lisa’s, it’s pretty easy to tell something is off, as opposed to just another few thousand Submariners in the market
Sad to see how many people in the comments are saying they want to support these fakes
want to? Tons of us has done for decades!
Did you guys delete the AP video that was uploaded earlier
What’s shocking isn’t how good quality the fake one is, but rather how poor the dial finishing is on the real 5711. Holy shit that’s bad
I'd hate, or actually would love to see what they could do with a $2000 or even $3000 watch? This watch, and in fact, most of the fakes don't hurt the actual brands as people who buy these are never going to spend $10,000 or more on the real thing. Selling them as fakes is one thing, but offering them up as the real deal for a cut-rate of $80,000 is where the problem lay. 👍✌
nobody's who is buying a $80,000 watch is falling for a fake like this. They know what to look for
as watchfinder said, the sale of this doesn't hurt the original (Patek), it hurts the other brand watch you could've bought for the price of the fake, i.e. the other Tissot, Oris, other microbrand
@@johnadamczyk6213 Very likely, but under the right circumstances, there's a sucker born everyday! 👍✌
@@lndyrd For the most part, only people in the know would want this watch because they want that prestige, and they also buy other brands like Tissot, Oris, and other microbrands as you stated. There aren't going to be many of these sold so the hit it takes on other "real" watch brands is minimal at best, but I do see your point.✌
@@johnadamczyk6213 You're excluding the not so smart people out there, and the experience of the scammers themselves. I doubt anyone would buy this watch as the real deal, but under the right circumstances you never know.✌
sorry but when they artificially make their "rare" they lose all respect. I would rather donate my money to fakes at 1% the resell cost so they can make a 1:1.
people should be tired of the utter ridiculousness that is resell prices.
Decided to watch this video before the monsters at TH-cam decide to take it down
They've taken the phrase, "Fake it 'till you make it," a bit too literal.
Even if I had 100k to spend on a watch, i sure as hell wouldnt be buying the lamest shit in that price range (the 5711) - would definitely go for either a patek worldtime or more likely a lange zeitwerk
I'd be so careful with this. A few watch reviewers have had issues. Jody had his channel deleted... All because fake watches were shown (even though they clearly discouraged their purchase).
I don't want to lose this channel!
Watchfinder should be good. They're Richemont owned. They have 💲💰💲
I just saw a fake Nautilus - claimed to be a 1:1 clone - for $3599. They're getting so expensive that the prices may end up being cloned.
the original one is very beautiful.. but even with there majestic heritages.. there is nothing justifie those 50K-100K price tag or more for any new watch.. those companies are just making fool of few people.. but it just matter of time for those few people to wake up and the prices will get back to normal..
Commenters here think watch companies like PP, JL, AP, GP & VC are making an easy killing in profits by simply their status. If you looked at the level of detail closely, you'll realize all the unimaginable work to the nth degree of detail that goes into every single watch.
it's the status dude. No amount of "work" is worth over a 100K for a watch.
