The (in)famous Marie's Best Watch (MBW) has released an updated and improved copy of the venerable Patek Philippe Nautilus. While most copies of the Nautilus are easy to spot because of the poor quality of materials, this replica uses better-quality steel (316L surgical) and a high-quality dial.

Replicas of the Patek Philippe Nautilus fall into two broad catergories: Asian movement replicas that are cheap and tinny and ETA movement watches that are substantial but have several flaws. The example shown below is one of the latter.

Fake Nautilus watches based on Asian movements are easy to spot because of the typical poor quality of the materials. The band is particularly suspect, being thin and having links held together by pins in some cases. You normally can spot these examples from the quality issues.

"Swiss" or ETA Fake Nautilus watches are made from a higher quality of stainless steel, and are therefore harder to spot. Most of these have some major flaws, as this example has the incorrect case back. Also note the incorrect date font. This watch is covered in more detail in the Replica Watch Report.

This replica of a Patek Philippe 24 is actually quartz instead of the genuine's automatic. The lack of a second hand helps it get away with this difference in movements. Like many low-end Patek Philippe replicas, this one doesn't have the overal fit and finish of the original.
