Best factory for ballon bleu YG/SS (BVF-AF-3KF)

[crypteddj]

Hey people!

I am looking for the best factory that produces this YG/SS model of Cartier Ballon Bleu (W6920099). So far 3KF looks the best but I am actually between AF and 3KF. The BVF version has an off-dial and not lots of posts anywhere to understand the quality. On the other hand, I couldn't find any posts about this version of ballon bleu that is made by AF either. The 3KF one has some QC posts on Reddit. Here are the links: 1-2 .

Here are some details:

3KF	Clone Cal076
AF	NH05
BVF	NH05

Some TDs suggest AF and some suggest 3KF.



I don't know if AF is the same, but another thing that confuses me about the 3KF is the bracket in the photo below. Although this part is not in the main photos of any TD, all QCs have it and it is a part that is not in the gen model.

Did you make a decision? I wanted the same watch but was concerned about gold. Can you share a picture if you get one you think is great?

I choose 3KF upon comparing QC pics. 3KF plating looked more on point also AF does not produce this with A076 or similar 28800vph movement unless you pay for an ETA movement (which is darn expensive) and the movement they use NH05 does not have any hacking seconds. You can compare QC Pics from here:
