WatchGeek5711 216 Posted May 11, 2021 Hello, i been looking to get the new release of 3KF, the Green 5168. i checked on TrustyTime about the specs, says 8,3mm thick (8,25 Gen) wich is a dream. anyone has seen any "Real" pics of the Rep yet? i dont trust the usual TD renders Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WatchGeek5711 216 Posted May 22, 2021 I recieved my QCs and accepted them though the color is a little bit too green and doesnt look like on the TDs pics. will share natural light once it is here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WatchGeek5711 216 Posted May 22, 2021 You can see the strap just looks too dark green and nothing like the olive green the gen does The thickness looks to be about whats claimed, i will take a look and check once it arrives. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chiquita Fanjita 1,862 Posted May 22, 2021 These pics are allowed. The rules have changed slightly recently. The watch has already been approved so the pics are fine to remain, it’s only if the poster was looking for opinions or had questions regarding the watch that they wouldn’t be allowed. I’m also curious to see what this is like when it arrives, as from looking on TD sites it looks too green to me as well and not like the dark olive/army green of the gen. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BadApple 14,034 Posted May 22, 2021 One thing the reppers seem to never get right is green. It took ages to get the Hulk right, a superb bathyscaphe recently was a country mile out and this compared to the gen is quite a way off BUT the watch on it's own and not side by side with the gen is a nice bit of kit and if anything a nicer green. Not so drab. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not so drab. I own a zzf hulk v2s and the color isnt quite perfect there too, one would think after all those years the rep factorys would finally find a way to copy the colors of the gens. I do belive the strap color can be adjusted by buying a gen (lol) strap or a alibaba copy, the dial shouldnt be too wrong in nature. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Glaude 1,617 Posted May 22, 2021 Those are some HQ QC pics ! About the green, that's where the human eyes is the most sensitive, we are more likely to see tiny differences in the green shades than in any other color, so I suppose this could be the reason the "right" green is difficult to get satisfied with Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WatchGeek5711 216 Posted May 31, 2021 A small update TD seems busy alot, no reply in nearly a week about shipping status. Might need 1-2 weeks more to post real pics of the watch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WatchGeek5711 216 Posted June 1, 2021 This is the first pic i got so far thats not under extreme white light, color does still seem to be too dark green. well its gonna be a week from now on as far as ik from previous purchases, DHl do be slow last weeks though. will keep yall updated Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WatchGeek5711 216 Posted June 4, 2021 The day has come, so ill post more pics from outside, bit too dark on the strap however not as much of a difference as you may expected. watch is on the large side tho extremely thin and comfortable, without any further chit chat here come the first pics (color slightly too saturated due to my shit cam) One thing to add before i rush outside for these pics, the rotor is loud, like really loud. Would recommend a silencer for this thing otherwise you may wake up your neighbours at night by moving your hand in various ways 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chiquita Fanjita 1,862 Posted June 4, 2021 @WatchGeek5711 that looks lovely. The second pic looks very green yet the second last pic looks a bit more of the olive green colour. How does the colour actually compare in hand to the pics of the gen? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
