Sure will. I will measure the thickness as well and let you all know. If its thickness it the same as advertised on TDs website - 9mm thickness - then I’ll be happy!

How are yu liking it bro? I'm inches away from buying one myself, only thing holding me back is that it is a bit "fancy" and I tend to go more rugged

No one as order the new blue rubber ones? Quite tempted as my next purchase
Received my 3kf santos medium today. Measured the thickness with my digital calipers and I am getting 9.1-9.2mm thick. (Measured points were from caseback to polished bezel part)
First impressions:
Dial and crystal is almost perfect to my eyes. I know GF has the frosting crystal issue which resulted in the swiss made font being covered. This doesnt happen to 3kf. The printing quality and dial texture color is just as good as gen IMO. The smart link+bracelet change system works flawlessly for me.
Heres Gen dial and the 3KF santos medium rep for comparison:
I have never held gen, GF, or BVF, so I cant compare the bracelet quality, but I think the 3kf bracelet very solid for a rep. It has the usual sharpness on the corners of each underside link - this will need to be smoothen for more comfort fit on wrist. The bracelet and clasp quality reminds me of PPF v4 5711 Nautilus if that helps. (Solid IMO)
Overall I am pretty happy with the overall quality of the 3KF rep. However its a shame that it doesnt come together with a free leather strap - I really wished 3kf didnt be so stingy in this regard (someone pls give me a leather strap
)
Enjoy the extra pics:

Perfectly fine, I wouldnt RL over some timegrapher result TBH.My v6f is showing +11 seconds a day in QC… too much??
Well absolutely fine. Sometimes we need to be reminded of manufacturer’s specs. And the 9015 is within tolerances from -10 to +30s/dMy v6f is showing +11 seconds a day in QC… too much??

Love the latest version, but the dial on your video looks way too purple...
Good to hear your quick change links were working well.Received my 3kf santos medium today. Measured the thickness with my digital calipers and I am getting 9.1-9.2mm thick. (Measured points were from caseback to polished bezel part)
