About 3K factory

Like Clean, 3K doesn't have a long history in this industry. It also has two other names, K3 and BT. Today I will briefly introduce you to the 3K factory.

In 2019, someone bought a Cartier Ballon Bleu replica from the V6 factory in Zhanxi market. He was so impressed with the quality that he decided to make Ballon Bleu Cartier replica watches himself. Finally the products appeared and the quality was fine; The Ballon Bleu he made had a quality very close to the V6. He acted smartly and put a V6 label on each of his watches and sold them under the name V6, but at a cheaper price. After all, he made some money.

Movement and Caliber Performance

At that time, the super clone 4130 movement, developed by Noob and a movement factory in Dandong, was very popular. He found this movement factory in Dandong and expressed his desire to develop a clone PP 324 movement. After half a year of research, the first generation clone PP 324 movement emerged and was fitted to Nautilus 5711 and Aquanaut by WY-3K. However, these Patek Philippe replicas equipped with the first generation PP 324 had several major problems, such as jumping seconds, date sticking, sudden stop, and noisy automatic rotor. Because of these serious problems, a lot of Patek watches were left out of stock in their warehouse.

Towards the end of 2020, I don't remember the exact time, but they decided to re-examine PP 324 and resolve these issues. Finally the second generation clone PP 324 appeared; This is the final clone 324 movement you see in the current 3K Nautilus 5711 and Aquanaut. The new clone 324 has fixed all the mechanism issues I mentioned above and is more stable than the mechanism used in PPF Nautilus. Thanks to this mechanism, the case of 3K's Nautilus 5711 replica can only go down to 8.3 mm, which is the closest to the original thickness of all the replicas. Afterwards, the 3K factory continued to update the body form of the Nautilus 5711. With the introduction of watch enthusiasts who do custom work on replica watches, 3K Nautilus quickly became popular, and now, except for the blue/gray dial version, more people prefer to buy Nautilus 5711 replica from 3K instead of PPF.

With the closure of V6, 3K captured a large part of the market previously belonging to V6 and subsequently began to compete with AF in the Ballon Bleu space. A branch of 3K called K3 specialized in making women's Cartier Ballon Bleu models.

BT, another branch of 3K, makes quality replicas of the Rolex Daytona. Clean is not the only factory that has the super clone 4130 movement developed by a movement factory in Dandong; BT and New Noob also have it. After Clean released the Daytona 116500LN, BT also released the white and black models of the replica Rolex Daytona 116500. Afterwards, Clean made a few improvements to the Daytona bezel and dial, but so did BT. So I think BT's 116500LN Daytona is also very good. Maybe because they wanted to beat the Clean so quickly, BT next released a series of Daytona models earlier than the Clean, but their workmanship was not as good as the first two Daytona 116500LN watches they made before. Then Clean also released many Daytona watches, including the yellow gold one and the white gold one with rubber strap, and their quality is better than BT's. Therefore, in the Daytona competition between Clean and BT, BT is increasingly at a disadvantage. However, the Daytona 116500LN, all stainless steel Daytona, and ice blue Daytona models are still worth buying.

This is the story of the 3K factory.
