same. Waiting for some before pulling the trigger, as one is more expensive. AMF does PF bezel, 3KF movement, +PPF/Buff parts. If both looks the same then...

well if AMF is using PF/PPF and 3k parts, they may be using two base watches to make one? for the premium do you get two watches and what is done with all the extra parts?

AMF told me they use two cases. There was no discussion of extra parts, but you may want to email them.

PF base + 3kf movement + ppf/buff/gen dial

or 3KF base ppf/buff/gen dial

they said PF base is preferred

You only get that one modded watch, and nothing else. Please correct me if I’m wrong. Two watches would soften the deal up and I might just get on with it sooner than later.

PF base meaning case? If so how do you fit the clone movement from 3KF to the case? It doesn't work like that.

it can be possible he won't do that mod anymore.

surely if someone delivers two watches and the money to create the hybrid, a modder will assemble it?
with 3k rolling out new models and updates, most people will be happy with OOTB or just install a buff/gen dial. the demand for these hybrids pf/3k builds will decrease and modders are not going to order two watches for modding unless all payment is taken upfront.

unless the other factories get the clone 324, the way forward is 3k OOTB or with buff mods. miyota clones and hybrids will end up in m2m, back of dusty drawer or beaters.

My understanding is that they are working directly with the factoreis to procure the parts. so its not so much a question of having 2 watches but then ordering the individual parts that they need. This is what they told me

Imagine if you could just order a clone movement. Or is that what’s already done and I just set myself up for a roasting.????????????
