This is REAL. when I dress nice, I get so nervous about wearing a watch people would mistake for real and then beat me and take it.. then I wear a timex. when I dress like a bum and not comb the hair, and got dirt all over myself, then I can wear a good watch. anyway back to topic, the "blue" looks very bright does it not? it looks darker in this here youtube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVw46Dzy2HA

that is indeed more of ay Yves Klein blue than the original 40th anniversary blue...

Let’s not all panic on the color until we receive the watch in hand hahaha

I have already ordered this watch. From the pictures the only thing that would come close to bothering me is that the diamond baguette indices on the rep appear to be slightly fatter than the gen. Under these circumstances I would normally wait untill they get it right with subsequent versions. But the rep industry being what it is these days there are no guarantees that 3K will even exist in the future to produce a later version.

LOL, you concern is whether the indices are fat and not the fat the rep baguette indices itself will be of pathetic quality given the price :confused:

Ive ordered it, based on 3k V2 quality so I think its going to be good. I couldn’t care less about the weight because you never take a expensive watch off your wrist to hand to someone. This watch is around 500,000 Euro on the market!

Well I will buy 2 datewheels when the boys get them finished then ask the modder to do a full polish of this and my green 5711 and then its pretty much all sorted, so I saved around 499,000 Euro buy buying this and the green 5711. haha

I remember people all the time saying this and that watch looks no good only for it to arrive and it looks great, so buy what you want. I brought mine from Trusty!

As they say, your lifestyle will call you out before the watch.

The more the people want this watch... the more they trash it . ????
i ordered one... let's see. I like the dial color and based on the pictures, the quality looks good.
the gen retail was 120k and now goes for more than 250k...crazy.
you would never see one in person.

The underside of the crown seems to be bevelled a little too much on the rep which gives the watch the appearance that there is a little gap between the case and the crown.

This is strange because on the first pic of the rep posted on this thread there is no such issue:

That second one posted is using the old 3KF case I believe, notice how the crown guards don't connect and the crown screws in better.

So deliberately done so by 3KF to sell later versions you reckon?

For what it is I think color does look good.

Thanks for the photos. There does not seem to be any depth to the colour of the dial. Is it just uniform blue? Does it look anything like this under lights?

Looks really good.. on the video it loos market blue.
how do you like the watch? Quality? Feeling? I mean.. it has a big Price tag... worth it?

The watch is not mine and praise the lord that I dont have thin wrists like that mine are around 8.5 to 9. Found this video and photos at WeChat and look like I forgot to mention sorry for the confusion. I do have a proper 3kf v2 and based on that I can say that quality and the movement will be good but service the movement the time you recieved it. Mine felt grainy, sandy. In terms of this release I can contact the seller and ask his own opinion on dial and the quality. When we compare two dials through YouTube videos I think it's safe to say that the rep lacks the slight hue and shading compared to the real deal but other than that the lighting act similar on both of them. When we examine what's available on the market I think this is the best 40th dial out there. It's much better than the aftermarket dial that was sold on the c24 which if I recall correctly it was just a rep dial with genuine diamond indices. If you were looking for a good 40th rep then go for it heck you can find people on wechat that makes solid gold and platinum cases for calatravas and nautiluses, rollie etc many more. Recall correctly gold case set was around 5-7k and platinum was 9-11k and that way you can have its weight and its looks for a hell of a price lol. TLDR. Depends on what you looking since the quality will be the classic 3kf and how much you want it even if as to see in first hand or own it as a novelty piece.

Not anything close to knowing much about PPs but am I the only one commenting about the small diamond in the outer case at 6 o'clock not being there? Or is it and it's just the QCs angle that doesn't show it?

If you look closely to wechat pictures you can see a tiny hump at the 6o clock of the bezel anyways found more pictures from wechat.
