Is this a V2? Case & bezel shape on this looks much improved. I may have to order one for my franken!

Just got my QCs for the 3KF, it looks like they fixed/added "swiss made" on the dial.
First i thought its a ZF, but TD reassured me its 3KF and i'm now pretty confident it is (line stops at 5, different lume, same serial like on TDs site etc.)

the lume looks horrible compare to my version of 3kf the very first one got it like a month after 3kf come in to the market with this model with no Swiss made and with the printed movement.

You're Saying I Can Sell?
Very nice review. I am very curious that are 3k 5167a and 5711a the same movement including all specs diameter and thickness?
thank you

Do you know why there are some that have marked Swiss made on the dial and others where there is nothing marked. Also i received my qc and my watch has 250 amplitude, isn't that a good sign?

the modern gen watch has no swiss made print on the dial however therer are older gen versions which do have said print - at least thats what i read on one of the 71 past pages in this thread.
my guess is that the factories "fixed" the first batch dials and went a step ahead.
regarding amplitude:
if in dount check with your local watchmaker/modder

I believe it's the other way around. Older gen has no "Swiss Made" (2009), newer does (2020+).... can browse chrono24 to confirm.
Here's a few more photos which weren't ready yesterday
Look at the movement photo See the way the chatons are polished and the anglage on every plate edge The quality of the jewels and the accurate positioning We don't commonly see this in Rep movements Like the Noob 4130 I think this movement will prove very solid. I repeat I am so glad some idiot didn't take an engraving tool to it post production then pass nothing more than a cloth over it leaving metal everywhere it shouldn't be .
looks absolutely stunning. Checking with TT if it's still available...hard to know with all the closures. But seems like a perfect alternative to the now discontinued Nautilus.

Look at the second photo of the watch and see you're incorrect.
Hi guys, one question to those who have the 3kf v1/2 clone movement.
is it normal that the second hand jumps 3-4 seconds, when you adjust the time for,-backwards?
or is my movement broken?
The watch have been serviced by an user here, and as I received the watch I saw that issue at first. But he told me it’s normal, that the hand jumps for and backwards while adjusting the time

I have not studied this specific characteristic of movement in detail so I cannot say if it’s normal for sure.
One tip for you is try not to set the time backwards. If you realize, the gears naturally only need to move in one direction during normal operation of keeping time. It is never a chore to set the time only forward. I have done this for all my gens. Never once have I set the time on any of my watches backward. So other than making it a habit to quickset the date when only hands are at 6:30 position, try to move the hands in a clockwise direction only.
Theoretically, even though the gears can turn back and forth, turning the gears backward can sometimes affect the durability of the gears. Take it that the gears are allowed to turn backward to allow for that small slip if someone sets the time backward by mistake, rather than allowing for the habit of setting hands backward regularly as a habit.
Try to move the hands in a forward direction as much as possible. It is 100% possible not to set the hands backward at all. It is not a good habit to practice.
