In fact Kobe has confirmed to me quite the opposite of what is being discussed above, he says ZF can’t get the movement, so I’m not sure where the speculation that he had said otherwise has come from?!
Either way, movement printing aside, I think this rep looks extremely promising. Comparing the case and caseback dimensions and relative sizing to the gen it is a lot closer than the ZF, also the ZF seems to have almost too thin profile on the crown guards but this 3K looks to be spot on.
Personally I doubt the movement print is even an issue at arms length, but I appreciate that the point of a clone movement is that you can spend time looking at it, so I understand why people are bothered by it. I think I’m going to pull the trigger also, the Aquanaut is IMO the greatest daily wearer Patek, and is a superior watch to the Nautilus in many ways, so a really good one is a must have for me!
