Introducing AMF Patek Philippe Aquanaut 5167

[AMF]

Happy to showcase another one of our creations. It's the sought after Aquanaut from Patek Philippe.

We have used a 3KF base and further refined it with a wide array of mods to make it as close to its periodic correct counterpart as possible and with the best improvements that can be done with what is given without going crazy and very expensive with fitting genuine parts.

Relume of the dial because stock 3KF lume and plots are not done well, we have this issue fixed.
Supply and install custom datewheel as 3KF comes with too small and not raised font datewheel.
Rework of the case lines to remove the dividing line flaw.
Slight case refinish to make the overall finish stand out.
Pressure test 6ATM
Paint of second pinion to correct look.
Full teardown service of movement for you to have long lasting pleasure with the watch.

Nice Job, how much for that mod?

 

[mech500]

How much?

Any reason you didn’t relume the White hands to match the green plots?

 

[David719]

hi there i am interested! How much is the cost?

 

[The Rod]

How much?

Any reason you didn’t relume the White hands to match the green plots?

precisely my question too

 

[mech500]

Didn’t think there was an issue with the stock 3k plots. Is Hand painting over precision machine applied plots, really gonna make the quality look better? Would love to see macros please. Easier to post them here along with price to save everyone PMing you with the same questions.

It is a lighting effect dear. The hands are not completely white as it looks. You can see that some of the markers appear to be white too based on how the light came into the picture angle.

Hey, did you get this from yet? I’m on the verge of pulling the trigger.

 

[merlinp6619]

No, but not expecting it for a while. I know the watch has been delivered but now in the queue for the works

Maybe its just the angle, but did they forget to paint the seconds pinion?

 

[merlinp6619]

I’m not sure about that, but it certainly hasn’t been waterproofed I’ve got terrible condensation on the inside of the crystal now that I can’t get rid of. From taking in kids pool.
