Anyone know if the PF or PPF bracelet will fit the 3K 5711? Read quite a few threads on each model but didn’t see this mentioned anywhere

Could you please let me know how accurate and reliable the 3KF super clone movement is?

From what I read from actual owners there has been only a few issues, nothing redundant in any particular aspect of the movement. I'd say It is still under careful observation before a proper evaluation can be made. The movement development (aka reverse engineering) took a little over 3 years and went through its testing phases, so it will be about average as far as reliability. Time will tell.

Regarding timekeeping accuracy, this one I have gains consistently 15-20s per day, while other members on our forum are claiming cosc standards.

I am getting around 12 +- a day, personally I also have the Aquanaut and it is about 15+-, which kind of makes sense for a brand new movement which probably was not regulated to the highest standards, which I really can not expect for that price point. still 12-15 is not too bad, not a lot of times were a minute counts ;)

Has anybody carried out any mods to their 3K? Reading through the thread, it seems like a relume and date window edge paint could be in order?

I received my 3 K Nautilus from Trusty today

The watch has the white dial. I chose white because the blue dial can almost never be right.
PP themselves have made many variations on colour and finish. The white dial is easier to replicate and 3K have done a great job on what appears to be a pre 2018 dial ( There are many greater PP experts here please correct me if I am wrong about the dials chronology)

Dial hands and print, including date wheel are excellent to the eye and even good through a loupe Date wheel seems nicely centered.The markers look well finished, corners could be better rounded, but this is only visible with a loupe. The white has a nice slightly ivory hue which lends an air of very high quality and at the same time exudes genuineness.

The case is very well finished and the brushing and polish is very gen like . Weight seems right and everything functions smoothly and feels very solid . The crystal is clear and well set and the crown sits perfectly

From the back the 324 clone movement looks superbly finished The script is laser printed rather than engraved (This has been addressed extensively in threads relating to the Aquanaut from 3K) Rotor doesn't seem noisy to me

The band feels very smooth and has the right degree of articulation. It has no sharp edges and feels very well made.
The clasp works well and is firm when closed.
The polished part closest to the watch is a few microns too big to my eye, but it isn't that obvious on the wrist.

Overall the watch is very gen like and an amazingly good replication of the original (Which I have owned in the past)

We live at an incredible time. A time where for less than $600 we can buy a rep of a watch costing 30 times as much. A watch with an almost perfectly cloned movement. Ironically a movement which due to its exactness even suffers the inherent faults of the Gen. That is to say that the second hand , due to it's remote operation can stutter slightly in certain positions.

This watch is a game changer. IMHO anyone who buys a gen in place of this is completely crazy.

The gen will give you nothing that this watch doesn't offer

It is 100% NWBIG

Nothing will ever be the same since 3k made this movement and Noob made the 4130 Not to mention some great Panerai clones from VSF.

This is the golden age of Rep watches. Enjoy and indulge
