Anyone know if 3KF are now providing the movement to GRF, as the new listings on PC, state clone movement.

It is a modded miyota 9015 as stated above. No clone movement. Just shady advertising.

Would you guys say the 3kf version is better than ppf? I mean if we are talking about out of the box solutions. the 3kf is also a 100 USD more. Just wondering if this is justified.

Someone made a Excel spreadsheet with a comparison of each of the models (pf, ppf, and 3kf). I would search for that, as I don’t recall the exact post it was in. It has a good breakdown of which factory has replicated that portion of the watch better (1-5 rating). But each watch has it flaws, some are more noticeable than others which leads people to gravitate to one of the factories.

For me personally, I am a supporter of the 3kf clone movement so I really wanted to get their nautilus. Unfortunately the first link on the bracelet is too big and to me it’s extremely noticeable and something a modder is not going to be able to fix. It’s all about which flaw you can live with. The PPF crown protrudes and the bezel is slightly too fat. However both of these issues on the ppf can be fixed by an experienced modder if you are willing to spend to have the work done. Hope this helps!

Thanks LebronXiJames and megapleb , in that case the PPF v4 takes the lead. I did a little optical comparison by myself and figured the 3KF as a good match. However, perhaps a 3kf v2 or ppf v5 will address a couple of the issues.

Idk, but I am too stupid to integrate an image in a post...

Does the PPF bracelet, dial and datewheel fit the 3K? If so, I will buy both and make one "perfect" 5711.

Is there any info on the differences between the 3KF v1 and v2? I'm comparing the PureTime photos and my inexperienced eye can't tell what has changed...

it does not fit.

the dial is the only part that can be transplanted.

Thanks for the response, much appreciated! Although disappointing, what would be the ideal modding scenario and even then, who would be able to do it? The bezel could really do with a reshape proportionally and the first link still sticks out like a sore thumb on the 3KF - such a shame...

EDIT: And I just found the answer to my question here - https://forum.replica-watch.info/fo...nt-ppf-dial-and-hands-by-​​​​​​​legend /page2
