About Vakuy Rigas, perhaps it is new to many people, but I did some background checks and found its connection with another brand, which is Parnis, both seem to be operated by the same team. Parnis was very hot ten years ago, but today few people talked about this brand, now they created a new brand called Vakuy Rigas but their team is doing the same thing as Parnis did years ago, which manufacture homage watches. Actually I have reviewed several watches from Vakuy Rigas, the one I love most is the Daytona Paul Newman homage from them, and today this watch that looks like Nautilus 5711 is also a great homage.
Parnis team earned a lot of money by selling these homage watches years ago, now the money is almost gone but Parnis is not as hot as before, so their team registered a new brand and want to earn some money again. One thing I am very sure about Vakuy Rigas is that their watches are not the best homages in the market, but their prices are really good and match the quality, which is in middle level.
Nautilus is one of the most popular stainless steel watches and this Vakuy Rigas homage is a good alternative that has so close outlook to Nautilus 5711, I got it at less than $90, that’s a very cheap price with a Japanese automatic movement, especially it has a crystal back. I got the blue dial color, the manufacturer also offers this watch in black dial color. The blue color on the dial of Nautilus is very difficult to clone, even on the most expensive super clone 5711, the blue still has color difference if comparing it with genuine. Anyway, I think Vakuy Rigas has done a good job on the blue dial, it is not pure blue, but unfortunately it looks a little purplish. The finish is acceptable, it will be better if the brushing on the case is delicate. By the way, the four corners of the case are well shaped, they feel a bit sharp. Apart from these, I have no other complains on this watch.
Inside the watch, it is a Miyota 8215 automatic movement from Japan, many homage watches in China have chosen to use this movement because of its high stability with affordable price. Do you know which brand also produces good homage of Nautilus 5711? Please leave your comments below.
