Can anyone tell me the difference between this version of the 324 and the older one 3KF used to make? What did they update?

Thanks for posting this! when I look at the balance wheel comparison, they look rather similar, can anyone tell me what makes it not interchangeable? 😪

This would be nice to know this as well. I'm considering an 18k Aquanaut build and this would be the icing on the cake

Hi all. Which 324 movement does the GRF 5205 use? Is it the 3k factory movement? Is the GMT movement functional or just there to tell us if it's AM or PM? Thanks.

Afaik 324 clone movement is installed in 3KF watches only.

Great post — there are a few pics where the gen vs 3KF pics may have been swapped (otherwise the rep part was nicely beveled and looked nicer than the gen).
@CTime outstanding piece of work and a stunning piece.
Some parts seem to be crafted equally or better in this rep.
To just think that one of the oldest and most expensive horology houses in the world can be rep'd with success and that can be enjoyed by the enthusiasts is mind-blowing.

Does anybody know if a replacement movement can be easily sourced for the A324? Aliexpress came up with a goose egg and I haven't found anything on eBay either. I'm trying to figure out how at risk this movement is for exploding calendar change or any of the other push buttons and then being toast because we can't source parts for it

Talk to a TD, the engraved version of 324 SC is still available in the market at around $500.
