lol just need to find a good looking datewheel to swap with...hour marker realignments are very much doable.

There was a post on Watchbus on new releases for 2018 and one of them was the AP clone movement from JF, so maybe that's why they have gone silent...and on Patek the void left by V6F has been filled by other factories such as PF or MP...hardly a quiet rep market

Clone AP movement?! Wow. Is this an actual thing or more like wishful thinking?


Regarding the Patek, I couldn’t wait any longer and ended up ordering a PF this morning.

What was the general verdict on the old v6f I know it had nice date font, was the rest of it rubbish?

Wrong dial pattern was pressed rather than sharply engraved...

And the bracelet was wrong detached to the case. There was a pin in the first link and then the endlink was too fat and sat too high on the case... oh and it wasnt gen thickness

If KMF or ZF release thin Nautilus with accurate date font it will be game over for V6f.
They will loose a lot of profit. It’s all depends who release accurate version first.
also If any small part gets broken in v6f we would have to buy a new movement or a new watch depending on the price difference and also it depends on how greedy is v6f factory.

They need to follow up the game - i agree on that for sure.

ZF released a very good looking 9015 but if the 324 SC will look nearly the same the majority wont see the reason why they should spend top dollar on 1-0,5mm less caseback hehe

Give me PF Nautilus with correct date font and straight hours markers AND I’M DONE!
But this can be achieved ish. I sent mine to Spongbob for markers realignment and the DW project installation. Thing is PF blue is still looks different from gen. And gen dials (if available) will cost more than my car :)
