Too bad their SS cases are exactly the same as their PM cases where the first connecting link is massive!

The color is totally different.

Is WY-3K the same as 3K? How is their ss model?

Yup. My Chinese is rusty, But from what i can read.

Article says cloned movement with silent rotor, no decoration plates, 29 jewels as per gen, engraved movement.

I can read all chinese. Basically it's all improved to the first v1 3kf 5711. They engraved the words ,do some fine tunning on the movement gems ,rotor screws ,date alignment more centralized ... The only issue I see from the photos is that the date font size IS STILL THE SAME which is my main peeve about v1.

Let's hope whoever gets to see it can confirm on the date font size

Saw a Chinese video on 3kv2. The date font seems to have improved /bigger :) . But the bracelet first connecting link is still massive as mentioned. ;(... What a super waste

The Aquanaut ought to follow, been a long wait for the engraved movement and bigger date font.

then that will be a perfect aquanant (other than the rotating spring in the movement has 2 extra claws)

All I can see is some movement improvements also the long awaited engravings. Rest is still same as before.

However I’m sure more photos will follow and a better judgment can be given

Those ‘engravings’ don’t look right. Look at the colour difference between the PP logo with the new engraving compared to the balance cock which is engraved correctly and always has been:

yep - Looks like laser engraved afterwards rather than machined like the balance cock.

still a few steps to go...

Either that or the other plates aren’t made of brass like the balance bridge. Would explain why they weren’t engraved in the first place.

Guess we just have to wait awhile longer.... The date font is still quite bad IMO

Have patience folks, look at how long it took to get the movement. We still have a long way to go.;) In the meantime there's that new VSF DateJust 41..........
