Why is 3K factory's PP Aquanaut 5167 so expensive?
Patek Philippe Aquanaut 5167 model is produced by 3K Factory with a solid stainless steel case, 40 mm diameter and high-precision automatic Super Clone movement architecture. It is among the most successful 1:1 super clone watch reviews on the market, with its sapphire crystal AR coating glass, original case tolerances and detailed workmanship.
In fact, ZF and PF also made the 40 mm Aquanaut 5167 replica. ZF and PF are two major factories that have been in the replica field for years. As for 3K, I don't know this factory. When I ordered a Patek Philippe Aquanaut replica from my supplier at the factory, he told me something about the factory 3K and I was surprised at the price. Because the price of 3K's Aquanaut 5167 replica is almost 100 USD higher than that of ZF or PF. You know, ZF or PF's Aquanaut is about 460 USD; So 3K factory sells this model for almost 600 USD. This is incredible and such a high price is not acceptable for many people.
Case and Body Workmanship
Why is it so expensive? As far as I know, there is no other breakthrough in this 3K factory Aquanaut other than the correct case thickness like the original. Yes, 3K factory makes this watch with the correct thickness i.e. 8.1mm; You know, the original watch is also 8.1 mm. This is something a new factory can be very proud of. However, perhaps the only advantage of the 3K Aquanaut is the correct case thickness; I didn't see any other advantages compared to ZF or PF's Aquanaut. Undoubtedly, many buyers care about thickness, some are even obsessed with it; but I don't think it's worth spending more than 580 USD on such a watch with a rubber strap. Moreover, my supplier told me that the rubber strap of the 3K Aquanaut is not as good as that of ZF or PF.
So unless you care too much about thickness, I wouldn't recommend buying Aquanaut from the 3K factory. ZF and PF are two big factories; They have been making PP Aquanaut and Nautilus replicas for a long time, and the case workmanship and dial details are definitely better than the 3K factory. I don't understand where 3K got the courage to sell their Aquanaut at such a high price.
