3K Aquanaut review

[APpee]

Awesome, my OCD shall be at peace for now, then 3K Aquanaut is officially a NWBIG for a pre-2009 Gen? :cmaster:

I have come across a set of gen hands for my Franken build, I don’t suppose you know if they can be modded to fit, or fit already fit the 3KF?

I have no clue mate, there was another thread about installing a Gen seconds hand and a date wheel to 3KF Cal.324 clone. You need to check with your modder, I’m happy OOTB at the moment

Thanks will have a look into it abit further. I know the second hand works but unsure about full set on the 324, I’m sure I read they don’t fit. The problem is I can’t try before I buy lol

Many hands are not a straight fit for the Asian movements including the sub dial hands of Daytona, there is a 50:50 chance it might not fit and good modder shall be able to do the required modifications to make sure they do fit to the Asian clone. Nevertheless, the rep hands are seriously good in the newer version even under the loupe ( 20x magnification)

I share my experience with my 3KF Aquanaut. I bought it in September 2020 from Sead, used very little. Last week I try to fix the date and this happens to me:

can someone help me?

If you dont have a local watchsmith or someone here in the forum - try to contact Sead he might have someone available for you in your area you might contact to get it fixed.

Just curious, have anyone ever had success buying a replica patek boxset? I've heard that theyre generally not amazing. I really want to buy one, but at the same time, some of them are 100 USD+ which would be a shame to pay if the box feel its made out of compressed garbage

Anyone knows a nice aftermarket rubber strap alternative to the one coming with the 3KF 5167 v2? I have the watch incoming from pure time, but read on several places that the strap is of poor quality. Perhaps an alternative also in khaki? Thanks!

 

[Kaptajnen2000]

Got it, I have a Gen spec everest bands 20 x 1.8 and WSO 21 x 1.8 ready when mine arrives. Will try both.

How did the 21x1.8 fit?? And did you use them on a 3K v2? Im in the process of buying a strap for my v2 that will arrive in a few weeks and they can only deliver 21x1,7mm. Would that be terrible?

 

[IntenseImage]

This appears to be v2, right - hands a bit more white and engraved movement?

 

[rcom440]

DW on v2 is still pure shit.

 

[Liquid Snake]

Looks nice. I think I'm going to buy one as my next watch. Very clean. It amazes me how they cloned the movement.

I got my Aquanaut 3Kf for 2 moths I guess. And I'm really happy. This rep is stunning. The Clasp is the only thing that bothers me. Maybe I can get a cheap gen clasp.
And i nearly cracked up at the time were i cut the bracelet LOL
Here are some pics.







The Lume is great!

 

[MRB123]

What’s wrong with the clasp?

I'm curious as well but looking at the pictures, the plating seems to be wearing off

Any idea what that's supposed to be plated with in the clasp designs? May be a common occurrence, but first one I've seen

 

[YellowFin]

J Belfort Nice watch and great images, thanks for sharing. Was thinking about getting one but I don't trust the movement and ordered a ZF. Has anyone tried ordering a separate dial from 3KF?

No clue sorry
