Latest 3KF nautilus

The watch, the picture taking skills or the Aston Martin ???

I love things of a mechanical nature. If it's got gears and a soul to it... I probably have an appreciation for it

Is white dial the best for 3KF V2? Debating between that and the green dial.

White dial is still PPF (my subjective preference). Green dial is unique (don’t compare with gen), I would go with that.

I understand mate, believe me I do

With the updates to this model recently, how does the white dial now compare to the PPF?

I find this video helpful in comparing the two dials.

Idiotic question: puretime has two versions of the blue dial: blue/grey and blue. Are these supposed to be different vintages? Which one is ‘closest’ to the gen dial?

two different dials. you can look at the logo on the dial. based on the YouTube video above, the blue dial seems to be closer to gen than ppt v4.

Found this detailed comparison.

Just sharing some QC pics of a 5711 I already GL. Looks like a proper V2 with updates crown guards, engraved rotor, and fixed first link, at least to my eyes.

Two things i found on the new version.
first the stripe on the dial is thicker then gen.
second, 3k seems to have AR on crystal where gen doesnt

It’s even better than gen

Does anyone know if these gen parts would fit the 3KF movement??? Would it be a straight fit or would it require some modification first???

No unfortunately they won't work without heavy modification. While you could get the bridges to fit on the 3kf main plate. Alignment of the pivots is questionable. And just to name another hurdle the gen 324 uses thicker more substantial pivots on their parts. Which would mean you'd have enormous slop in the jewel holes. It would be easier to get a gen 324 baseplate, those bridges and then start filling up the inside with gen/ 3KF parts.

Thanks for that info!!! I didn’t know about the thicker pivots! So i’ll keep a lookout for the gen 324 baseplate!

Too bad because those gen parts would have highly improved the look of @mosh_2k7's 3KF movement.

So we're not out of the woods fully it seems. Made an order with the same TD because I was feeling hopeful having seen these QCs but it seems like we still have some fat links on the market. It had the updated crown guards but the first link was massive, so no go. We'll see if he can source a proper V2 for me.

The crown guard of this watch are seriously suffering from an over polished treatment imo :-(
