Hey Guys,

i could really use your help, i just got QCs for my 3KF, but it has "Swiss made"?! I tried to check the line on 5, i think its ok (ends under 5), so its tied.
I already asked the TD to check but i'd like to hear another opinion, could you please have a look?
(P.s. i hope in this case its ok to post QCs)

Recently 3KF updated their watches I guess. I’ve seen a lot seller in some China app posted about it. Like aquanaut with Swiss made on dial, nautilus with fixed first end link

Thx, then i'm relieved!
I already gave it a green light since i am pretty sure it is a 3kf (line ends under 5, different lumes, same serial like on TDs homepage pics etc.)

No issues with a line under 5. There are many gens with the same line and many gens without it, it changes based on generation so it’s not a tell.

And Swiss made is fine.

I was not comparing to gen rather than to tell ZF (line goes over 5) and 3kf (line stops under 5) apart. Same with swiss made, ZF has it, 3kf hasnt it untill now, so i got confused when i saw the swiss made on the 3kf.
Now everything is fine, got the green light!
But thank you, this is also good to know when comparing to gen!

Who cares about the line under 5 (whatever that actually means), the white hands vs green markers are ugly

Good point, once you see the white hands and green minute markers you can’t unsee it. I would reject and buy the ZF 5167/1A instead...

This video is confusing???? for the most part (besides the strap and the date calendar) it seems 3KF has the upper hand, but then he says to probably go with ZF in terms of Aesthetics as reliability on both is pretty much the same. I’m lost????‍

 

[Duckber]

The video makes a good point though, how do you service a 3KF?

 

[repclouts]

Does anyone know if the 3KF hands could be modded to get rid of the glaring colour difference?

 

[Accord11]

In my opinion, for the 5167A, the ZF is the best.

For the 5168G, the 3KF is the best.

Do you know the weight difference between Aquanaut reps like 5167R and 5168G and the gens. As its only case not bracelet I'm hoping it wont be much.

The gen Patek watches with no complications on straps in precious metals never feel that heavy to begin with. The difference isn’t too noticeable in weight. Only gold and platinum timepieces on bracelets do you actually feel a substantial weight difference.

I wouldn’t worry about it

You might have just sold me on a 5167R as my next purchase!
