Okay, guys, so I’ve been itching to get my hands on a Patek Philippe Nautilus for a while now. I mean, who hasn’t, right? That classic look, especially the 5713/1, it’s just chef’s kiss. But, let’s be real, the price tag on those things is insane. So, I started looking into this whole remake, superclone, whatever you wanna call it, situation.
First, I scoured the internet for any info I could find. Forums, blogs, you name it. I wanted to see what people were saying about these remake watches. Were they trash? Were they decent? It was a mixed bag, honestly. Some folks were saying they’re amazing for the price, others were calling them straight-up garbage.
Digging deeper, I found a few online stores that seemed legit. They had pictures, descriptions, the whole nine yards. But you never really know with these things, right? So, I decided to focus on the ones that had the most positive reviews and seemed to be the most transparent about what they were selling.
- Started by comparing prices and specs.
- Looked for sellers with good return policies, just in case.
- Checked out their customer service – sent a few emails, asked some questions.
After all that, I finally pulled the trigger on a remake of the 5713/1. The one I picked had a pretty detailed description. Said it had a Swiss-made movement and all. I was still a little nervous, but I figured, what the heck, let’s see what happens.
The waiting game was the worst. Every day I was checking the tracking info, hoping it wouldn’t get stuck in customs or something. Finally, after a couple of weeks, it arrived.
Man, when I opened that box, I was blown away. This thing looked good. Like, really good. The weight felt right, the details were on point, and that blue dial, it was pretty much spot on. I’m not gonna lie, I compared it to a ton of pictures of the real deal online, and I was seriously impressed. I wore it out to meet some friend, some of whom are watch lovers, and I observed their eyes when they saw the watch on my hand. They were fascinated and inquired me about it.
My Honest Opinion?
Now, I’m not saying it’s the same as owning a genuine Patek Philippe. It’s not. But for the price, this remake 5713/1 is a darn good watch. I’ve been wearing it for a few months now, and it’s been keeping time perfectly. It gets attention and conversation, which is fun. And honestly, it scratches that Nautilus itch without having to sell a kidney.
I learned that the Remake Patek Philippe is a good choice, at least for someone like me.
Would I recommend it? Yeah, I think so. Just do your research, find a reputable seller, and don’t expect a miracle. But if you’re looking for a good-looking, well-made watch that captures the spirit of the Nautilus, this remake thing might just be the way to go. I think this is worth the hype. I made the right choice.
