I first was bought in from people talking about painted logo markings and was asked to trustytime dealer to confirm.

It was told (shown on pic) that it is engraved but just less deeper versus gen.


Pricing was little steep so im currently negotiating the final cost.

certainly looks promising

It is obviously paint applied on top mate - there were already examples where the paint peeled off uneven so you had the confirmation it couldn‘t be engraved as such inaccuracies happen differently on a CNC machine.

trusty is known for telling some white lies to boost sales to less experienced people or about new releases where the facts are less known to the majority.

Anyways i‘m quite pleased with the finish of the movement at its cleanness judging from pictures.

wish the movement lettering wasn't printed or I'd get one... That would make it perfect.

3KF also need to update their case construction with the separate bezel. ZF case more gen look..

3k is leagues better than zf in my opinion, just see their advertisement in which they compared it with a gen and then there are videos out there proving the point.

I'm no expert with the Aquanaut, but it would help immensely if you would specify why.

Not questioning your point, but there's just soooo many people on the forums passing off opinion as fact that it is very, very hard to discern which is which sometimes.

The case and the bezel - is the one part of the case (like ZF Aquanaut).
3K Factory made: bezel + mid case + case back.

ZF wrong case in all PPS , thicker movement, they forget to use gen part in 3k comparison , bezel case back ..

No, but we can see the flaws in the present Aquanaut, can't we? It's not flawless is it? And the movement, which it's all about is mostly printed, while the part on the balance cock are engraved. That looks kind of silly IMO.

I think i am trying to learn what this forum is about by contributing as good as i can. While you are running around the forum making newbie threads, asking to be spoonfed:

https://forum.replica-watch.info/for...passion-around
https://forum.replica-watch.info/for...ailable-please
https://forum.replica-watch.info/for...t-and-nautilus
https://forum.replica-watch.info/for...isseurs-please
https://forum.replica-watch.info/for...15400-or-15202

And making threads that are - let's just put it nicely - not based on documentation or facts:
https://forum.replica-watch.info/for...ies-marketeers

And this is only for the last half year. So please don't try to teach me what this forum is about.

And please mind your language next time you write to me. I won't take this kind of tone from you again. Take a deep breath, just because you are sitting behind a screen, it doesn't exempt you from common courtesy.

HAHAHAHA LOOOOLLL


That is the way to silence a negative person... how sad that there are still people who disrespect others and forget the purpose of the forum, but much better that there are people who put them in their place. HAHA
