BIONONE My apologies for this dumb answer but can PPFs hands can be fitted on this new movement? I couldn't find any information about hand pinion on cal 324.

Difficult to answer - as i have no measurements of the 3KF DW or the dial it will be more or less guessing when comparing pictures of both dial dimensions.

if they used a gen DW for their measurements a slight difference may disappear as the past has proven the PF to be the most accurate and most compatible DWO for a gen dial whilst the PPF DWO still left some room for adjustments.

maybe that helps to answer your question.
But keep in mind that i‘m super into perfection under high magnification - the differences that i have observed will may be unseen for others ;)

the only thing that excites me about this release are the movement and the matching hands... everything else is lacking the finish of details of a PPF or PF case/bracelet. The big end link kills this release for me - just like the old V6F models...

Thanks. I recall some members used a PF DWO for their PPF dials with acceptable results. I think I'll wait for v2 or v3 of the 3KF Nautilus, as you know I'm used to waiting;).

Also difficult to answer as i did not came across a disassembling review of the new movement yet... if they went the clone route like a SA3135/SH or SH4130 then i guess the hands won‘t fit a 9015 miyota and vice versa - but i‘m sure our modders know it best ;)

The videos on puretime are excellent and the blue one looks very good aprart from the printed movement. What do you guys think?
Where are you finding the videos? I can't see any on the product page.

When you click on the 3k Nautilus on purerime's site, there would be video tab next to the specifications one, got it?

Dang.... I was just about to pull the trigger on the white PPF V3 5711. Now I’ve learned there’s a new kid on the block (3KF)

I’m debating whether to wait until there’s at least a review of the 3KF or even better, a comparison between the 2 models.

Intuition says I should wait as it would be reasonable to expect that the newer model may be better. Why make a new product if it’s inferior to the current one on the market?

It would also seem hard to justify a product that’s $100 more unless you really think you are better than the competition.

Patiently waiting for a comprehensive hands on review for the 3KF Nautilus.:D

I was REALLY considering purchasing this prior to the release because I have a gen date disc that I was going to use on a future install and the 324 clone looks good apart from the lack of engravings.

However, the VERY poor quality of both the white and blue dial leaves me absolutely speechless. The white dial has a similar paint/finish on the markers to the JJF Nautilus dial that gives it a very cheap silver finish when off angle - look here at this comparison to the gen and JJF dial, then the new 3K dial:


Gen dial off-angle:

You may think - not a big deal I rarely look at my watch off-angle! However I will say you will see it on the occassional marker or the hands when glancing at your wrist, or as you bring it up to check the time - every time. It's rough in my opinion. The PPF does NOT have this issue.

Yeah mate. The dials are not looking promising, although the blue is difficult to judge yet, but also don't look promising. The bezel and crown looks better to me than the PPF. Also thickness of the watch looks spot on. Maybe the bezel, crown, thickness and movement is better. While the case finishing, dial colours and bracelet looks worse.
