We're happy to share pictures and details of one of these very special builds. Here we will show our hybrid builds. We are taking the best parts from all factories and combine them into a complete build with intense rework and attention to detail.
It starts off with a PF base as the case is the most accurate with the correct bezel slope and dimensions. Only 3KF comes second to this but not as good as PF.
It runs on a 3KF engine that has caused the PF case to receive heavy rework to be able to fit the 3KF clone movement. We assume the PF case to be happy about this upgrade as who wouldn't prefer housing a clone rather than a Miyota.
The caseback of the PF case is also thinned whilst we are at it already as well as the rework of the crownguards and crown to look how it should ultimately.
Next we are using PPF or gen dial with the custom datewheel and alignment of said made for the 324 cal. The PPF dial needs some work to be fit to the 3KF cal, the gen dial is a drop in fit with slight adjustments only.
The movement has received a full service and some extra attention to the sometimes cranky keyless works of the 324 to make it run as smooth as possibly can.
The whole case and bracelet is receiving our meticulous rework of chamfers, bevels and polished areas to look the part and overall feel the part as well when handled. You will see for yourself on the pictures.
Overall, a lot of work is going into this kind of hybrid as you can imagine given these extensive specs. The hybrid can also be done using the 3KF base. Here caseback thinning, machining and dial modifications will not be needed but all the other mods come in just as well.
