Bokey TimeHello everyone, this is Bokey Watch Industry. Today, I’m going to introduce a new product from the 3K Factory: the Patek Philippe Aquanaut 5167 Singapore Special Edition. This model has been long-awaited, and before 3K Factory launched it, many customers had to modify substitute parts to get this color scheme. Now, let’s take a look at the craftsmanship details of the 3K Factory Aquanaut 5167 Singapore Limited Edition.
Overall appearance, the 3K factory 5167 Singapore limited edition uses a sapphire glass mirror, with a black dial, metal hour markers and red scale seconds, and the overall color scheme is very youthful. This one of his dials is now also a disc face that is relatively aligned. Before, the luminous coating of the scale and hands was greenish, but now it is changed to a relatively white coating. Overall, there is no problem, including his radiographic effect, which is also stronger than the previous version.
The pointer is now also upgraded to the latest version, which looks fuller and thicker, and the calendar font is still a little thinner than the original.
Friends who pursue a higher degree of restoration can also ask Bokey to modify a substitute calendar disc to fix this “fake at a glance” problem.
The case is also made of 316L stainless steel like the original, and there is no problem with the overall case shape, including its grinding process, which is also relatively in place. The place where the wire is drawn and the place where the polish is polished, the thickness is also the only version on the market. 8.1 mm, other factories will be 0.5 mm thick.
The bottom-through design, the middle is made of sapphire glass, and the inside of the mirror is printed with the words Patek Philippe Singapore 2019 limited. His printing is also relatively correct, and it is printed on the inside. There is no need to worry about subsequent paint peeling. The movement is still the exclusive 324 integrated movement of the 3K factory. The overall appearance structure can reach more than 96% of the original. Except for the lack of polishing and the extra card adjustment of the shock absorber, everything else is fine, including one of his travel time performance. It is also relatively stable, and there are few failure repair problems. The adjustment time is also designed in seconds like the original.
The strap is made of red natural rubber strap, which echoes the red of the disk. The texture is very soft, and the thickness of the 3K factory is a little thicker than other versions on the market, making it more comfortable to wear. The clasp is made of a very elegant double-folding clasp, which is polished as a whole and shiny. The Calatrava cross star engraving pattern is also the same depth as the genuine product. The font is clear, the edges are smooth and textured.
In summary, the new Aquanaut 5167 Singapore Limited Edition launched by 3K Factory is commendable in terms of authenticity. The advantage is that watch enthusiasts no longer need to modify replacement dials, rubber straps, or case backs. The drawbacks include slightly insufficient movement finishing and the issue of overly thin calendar font. In other aspects, I (Bokey) personally believe it is quite good, and it is a recommended sports watch for purchase.
