5711 3kf movement clone question

[Pure78]

why some 5711 3kf V2 on the movement is engraved 324-390, some 324-393, some 26-330? for example in the gen of 5711 from 2020 the movement was updated to 26-330 where the seconds hack is present, in 324-390 the seconds hacking was not present. In the 3kf V2 clone movement with 26-330 engraving has been updated as gen with hacking second hand?

Dont take GEN always as the refrence - what you see in your pictures:

1. Picture: 26-330 - In GEN valid for the Green and the Tiffany Dial version. Sadly ONLY the 3KF Tiffany version has this correct engraving. The green has the 324/390 engravings so far (V2)

2. Picture 324/390 - Used by 3KF for all models with 324 movement (5711, 5167, 5168 etc.) The picture shows the V2 Movement which has the text engraved

3. Picture 324/390 - V1 Clone Movement where text has been printed by 3KF on the bridges usually they are not available any more

For all 324 Clone movements of 3KF - The hadnt change in the time being except the change from printing the bridges to engraving - all those watches had been stated by 3KF as V2
Overall the 324 Clone movement does NOT have a second hand hack. Not sure if still vaild but main issues i saw (im lso affected) is the stem which might get broken as its weak metal so be careful using the crown gentle.
Sadly there is so far NO supply for spare parts of the 324 Clone movement.

thanks for your perfect explanation .... question, what if the stem breaks? can it be replaced with a gen stem or good stem aftermarket?

There's an improved rep stem available, you'll just have to search for information on how to get one. I forgot the member's name who posted the source.

Any help on getting the source for the stem would be appreciated - i tried differnt TDs (not able to source) and a couple of watchmakers - but never was able to get my hands on one. If you have any info plese feel free to provide.

Nevertheless i will search again also in the forums - but im only aware of one that has been custom made and was not able to get response from the one who created it.

I just received your QC pictures from reddit - You are right - we need to understand that the real new releases of §KF 5711 in olive have now been changed and also have the correct engravings. Initially they had the 324 engravings. Good that they changed it

Only olive ? White and blue new version no ?

Only olive ? White and blue new version no ?

Why should blue / white change - based on the model the 324 engravings are correct. Only olive has been "wrong" as Tiffany and Olive has as Gen 26-330.
Based on specs the 5711 they are replicating is pre 2020 updated PP model.

Try to contact WeChat seller HKRwatch.

Try to contact WeChat seller HKRwatch.

Agree on this, although the usual disclaimers of HRKwatch not being a TD. (And if you don't have WeChat, he's also on instagram as hrk.watch but be cautious if you're reading this in the future, this info is only valid as of Oct 2022). But I've had several good experiences with HKRwatch, and unlike many non-TDs on WeChat he studied English in Canada, so you won't be communicating through Weixin translated text messages. Also, HKRwatch was able to get me a new 3KF aquanaut rubber strap directly from 3KF, so it seems like he's willing to deal with "parts orders" more than TDs are. But of course, be cautious, he is not a TD @Mindwatch so use your best judgement when dealing with him.

Hi,
Did you received your 324 stem from HKRwatch ?

Price?

D'accordo su questo, anche se le solite dichiarazioni di non responsabilità di HRKwatch non sono un TD. (E se non hai WeChat, è anche su Instagram come hrk.watch ma fai attenzione se stai leggendo questo in futuro, queste informazioni sono valide solo a partire da ottobre 2022). Ma ho avuto diverse buone esperienze con HKRwatch e, a differenza di molti non TD su WeChat, ha studiato inglese in Canada, quindi non comunicherai tramite i messaggi di testo tradotti da Weixin. Inoltre, HKRwatch è stato in grado di procurarmi un nuovo cinturino in gomma aquanaut 3KF direttamente da 3KF, quindi sembra che sia disposto a gestire "ordini di parti" più dei TD. Ma ovviamente, fai attenzione, non è un TD @Mindwatch quindi usa il tuo miglior giudizio quando hai a che fare con lui.

HKRwatch is MindWatch?
