Clone movement or not? If so definitely something to look forward to and funny how we keep getting clone chronographs but not perpetual calendars even though both are roughly equally as complex.

Worth following this one closely. Very interesting if they can clone movement and execute the rest reasonably well.

Is the 7750 on something this simple as bad as people say it is ? It’s not like they changed the counter placement
It's just the way the movement is made it is always super thick. The one exception is the IWC 3714's slim 7750 and Daytona slim 7750

Is this the real 3kF or the fake 3kF. A fake factory one exists.

That's hilarious... rep inception - fake of a fake of a fake 😂

Soon we will need to have expertise not just in telling gens/reps apart but with telling reps apart!

Gen 5968 thickness is 11.9 mm...of course a 7750 base will be more thick...like 14 mm or so ?

If we compare the actual 5968 reps, which are both 7750 based, we have the YLF Factory one that is 14 mm thick


ACF Factory is 15.7 mm (!!) and you can use it to club someone :D


Anyway, i think that the 5968 is the most beautiful of the Aquanaut, and it is like the last PP watch that i really liked...then, they released the 'new' sporty Calatrava (it is a bit meh in my opinion), and then the horrendous Cubitus, so this is like the most recent PP i really like

Asked a non TD , this is a fake 3K Factory and probably has a 7750 movement as well

Not sure what to believe, this is the google translate. Wait until after CNY I guess.

Integrate classic aesthetics and gather the essence of the past

I believe this is fake
There is no reason to release weeks before cny.
Ordering process will take at least a week, then shipping time come, it will stucks at china warehouse due to CNY break, creating a bottleneck.

now we have to deal with fake factories. What self prophesied mess! The irony of this situation. How the turned have tables!

TDs should boycott fake factories. Or label it as 3kfF for fake
