Every lume index on yours looks great. I got QC pics for the same watch and had to reject it, because one of the rectangular indexes was not filled with lume properly.

How's the watch hanging and what's your thoughts? Cheers.

Thanks for the pic. look nice.


I don't see any difference between zf and 3k dial. sorry to hear you're having trouble with the movement. You are the first one I hear who has trouble with the movement, what's wrong?

the 3K dial seems to have rust-colored and non-chocolate reflections

Wow, the DW looks pretty centered on the 3. Bezel seems ok too (not as mis-aligned from some of the SS QCs). But the gold color is off (maybe its the lighting in your photo), seems more YG to me that RG.

Well the movement is having problems, depending on the position (face down) the movements stops.
The rotor is loud as people have mentioned.
I have never felt a gen strap, this one is serviceable, but is not soft.
The dial does have rust colored shine, will have to compare with a ZF at somepoint.
But...I love the watch, I love how it feel around the wrist and using it around the rose gold shine.
But this is clone movement so to the dust bin it will go

There has been a lot of discussions about markings on the case back on SS vs Gold models and frankly I am a bit confused about what is right and what is not. So I pulled 2 pics from the Patek website. The SS on Rubber does show markings but not the bracelet model one. So it does seem like 3K is correct, am I confused (quarentine effect) or mis-stating something?

I'm sorry to hear about the movement issues. After reading your posts, I'm considering whether to get a different watch over the 3KF Aquanaut. If I did, I would probably go with the ZF Aquanaut or the PPF Nautilus, since their movements seem to be okay.

How's the dial color like compared to the gen? It seems to have brown and rust sort of color in above pictures. I hope at least 3KF got the aesthetics right.

Thank you very much for your photos and thoughts. Cheers.

I checked that's right. Maybe they used a white gold case. Or they are engravings that do not indicate gold

Also the color of the lume seems to be different; the rep seems to have a deeper hue of yellow/green when the gen has a neat white color.

I'm looking at the listings on Chrono 24.

It looks stunning in this lighting mate.
Sorry about your movement issues and thanks for the additional images.


Is is just me or does the dial in these images look pretty spot on?? What does everyone else think.

without direct light it is very beautiful. The strap has the perfect dark brown color while the ZF strap is too light. I will take ZF with 3KF rubber.

Have you noticed that in 3K dials 6 and 9 are different from gen? While ZF has replicated them perfectly. But the color of 3K dial on SS version is wonderful, and I ordered it just for this.
