In general could you please reference me links or send me at least 2 pictures show casing how 3KF is mixing parts so that I can send it to my TD to help them be aware of the issue to help out others and at the same time avoid it from happening to my order? Thanks in advance.

Who's your TD?

Here are my QC pictures accepted this week. You and your TD pay attention to the following:

- crown guard shape: \__/ instead of \_/
- non fat bracelet first link
- engraved movement (I'm not sure whether ot not the movement of my watch is engraved but I didn't want to wait longer for a third watch after having rejected the first one)

First post newbie here… i received 3kf green from TD earlier this week. I am confused regarding the fat vs thin first link after reading this thread yesterday … so i checked with the TD and attached pg 5 and pg 14 of this thread to TD showing the thin vs fat photos & opinions…below was the conversation (email removed, start from bottom)

TD answer:-
yes the latest version now are all with fatter endlink ,the thinner one is from old version
Me:-
So the first link and all other links for geniune green dial are “fat” compared to the genunie blue dial?

If The 3kf green which i received is correct then my bad. Pls confirm.​
TD answer:-
you may compare with some photos from GEN watch ,the links now are fat same as the 3KF you received​

Hi, thanks for the suggestion, not sure how to attach photo from my iphone????. My green 3kf looks the same as the photo with fatter first link posted in this thread…

Unfortunately i cant find any geniune green 5711 showing the first link at the correct angle showing the actual size. Photos taken at different angles will distort the size of the first link. But mine is definitely fat compare to my friend’s rep in blue.

My TD also claimed that Patek is releasing the new 5711 models with a fat first link. I can't see that from any pictures of the gen 5711 green dial online.

The other thing I am not pleased about is that 3KF does not seen to make the 324 clone with hacking seconds. On a new release from Patek all the 324 movements have hacking seconds.

Both the rep (clone) and gen 324 SC movements do not hack. It is the 26-330 SC movement, replacement for the 324 SC movement, that can be hacked.

Yes, 3kf best edition gray blue v2

I legit don't get what's wrong with factories. Like literally, why make a watch worse and introduce such major flaws all of a sudden when people spark interest in buying your watches.

Well if you can speak to them ask if they can fix the font size and thickness. Because it’s a major let down.
