Hi guys, looking to get one of these 3KF 5711's in Blue.. these are NOT MY QC pics, but I asked TD if the big fist link have been fixed in the current batch of 3kF's and he sent me these pics. Does the big first link look fixed to you guys? I thank you all in advance.

This is the V3 by 3kf, maybe? Also date font seems to be more gen-spec, or not?

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but what exactly is a fat first link? Are there any illustrations or threads someone can point me to to understand it better? Thanks!

Ahh ok, got it, thanks. So it seems the 5980 has the fat links while the 5712/5711 do not? And how does one quantify if it's "fat" or not?

dude I do not know, I only heard about it here on the forum, I did see some posts in the past which had some pics, I dont know which post or what page, you just gotta enjoy the reading! :) Try google "Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711 fat first link"
