3K Factory Aquanaut 5168G SW with Dial+Hour and Minute Hand+Date

Patek Philippe Aquanaut 5168G model is produced by 3K Factory with a solid stainless steel case, standard case 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.

Dial and Hand Details

Today, I will introduce a green Aquanaut replica watch whose dial, hour and minute hands and date parts have been replaced by SW Factory production. Please see the first two photos; The watch is already equipped with a SW dial, hour and minute hands and date, I think the color difference is much more noticeable. By the way, the 3K's original rubber strap looked too green, so I replaced it with a VAGENARI rubber strap.

After completing the job, the dial looks flawless; This replica must be the closest color that can be found on the Aquanaut watch. It's hard to find the color difference even if you compare it with the original. Apart from the colour, SW Factory has also made changes to the numeral hour markers; their thickness and shape are closer to that of the original watch. The color of the lume material applied to the hour and minute hands and markers is kept the same. The workmanship on the hour and minute hands is the same as the 3K, both are flawless; There are no burrs even if you look with a magnifying glass. SW's date font is bolder.

Many watch enthusiasts now have increasingly higher expectations from the replica watches they buy; They want more accurate details, so many sellers do customization work on watches to meet their needs. In this Aquanaut 5168G replica, you can get it directly from 3K if you don't care about the color difference. But I suggest you spend a little more money to replace its dial, hour and minute hands and date, as well as its strap; However, the price of that VAGENARI strap will be expensive. By the way, some sellers even make an 18K solid white gold case for this replica watch and turn it into a model with an original dial, so the price will be very high.

I heard in the market that two more factories will make this green Aquanaut 5168G. One is APW+, the other is OEM. I'm not sure if APW+ is the old APW that previously made the AP 26331; or is the OEM the same OME that made the Patek 5712 before? APW+'s 5168G has just been released, it weighs 114 grams, which is closer to the original; We know that this Aquanaut from 3K weighs approximately 95 grams. I've also heard that APW+ does deeper engravings on the movement plates.
