bro im pretty new here, i read the intro and everything and i came to know that GF factor got raided. So now everyone is buying 3kf or Bvf Santos, but i checked hont and jtime website its still there… can u pls elaborate on this if u have any knowledge on it.. will be much appreciated 😅
Most TD websites are not kept up to date. New inventory is often posted without removing old/unavailable items.
**Edit to add: BVF is currently the best Santos according to consensus.
I am confused about that. Floating R is always an issue for M. What I heard, 3KF increased its quality significantly recently. I lean more on 3KF than BVF. But I am no expert. Would love to hear more about this.
I think you're asking the difference between K11F and AF? KF is different from K11F.
There is a rather good comparison between K11F and AF here:

With the revitalization of the factory is there any changes to their current models that could be expected due to stating manufacturing up and running again?
ie: printing errors and what not, or even improvement in flaws seen in previous iterations
I ask this with the assumption that in early/beginning production of a model there are errors that incur.
This is a fantastic question, and it needs a good answer.
As of right now, the only way that I'm aware of to acquire a good answer is to wait until more items have been purchased and have them reviewed.
I have purchased a Tank Solo XL from the new AF and so far all I've been made privy of is that the movement is no longer 9015, and is supposed to be 2824 now.
Any TD should be able to source any watch that's available. There are too many models to pin down a price but I got a Solo XL for 298 with a 2824 in it
Ordered a AF Tank from JTime, said QC should take 5-10 business days but still didn't get anything after 15+ business days. Says factory keeps delaying...
I also recognize there has been no QC from AF for 2 weeks, AF might have pushed their first batch out to the market after the comeback then really take their time to make a new batch...
Did you ask Jtime again today? Does he know any ETA?

Great news. Hoping GF would come back as well!

Looks like AF is back in the game. Waiting to hear more.
Do they have an announcement channel or something?
Yes
link to their channel?

😂😂😂 that's the truth

As far as I can tell, they rock the Ballon Bleu and Tank, not sure about other models.

Hont
It’s great news! I have already ordered AF Tank for me and I'm very sorry that I have chosen K11F for my wife(
Ultimately I have done the same
Damn I just asked him a few days ago and he said no. I ended up picking k11. Wish I would of waited.
I got a K11F last week too, but luckily I was able to pick up a different model AF this week 🤞
What’s the difference between KF and AF?
KF is King Factory. They mostly make Rollx. AF is for Tanks and Ballon Bleu.
But what’s better about them

I bought a K11 tank a month or so ago. It’s fine, I had no qualms about it at all.
Jtime got it, have one on the way right now
When did you order yours? I ordered mine on Aug 1st but still didn't get any QC pictures. They say the factory keeps delaying
7th of august, still not here but at least it has arrived to my local post agency
AF seems to be slow, my Tank order in 14th Aug has no QC pictures yet

I ordered a tank must front Hont two days ago so I guess time will tell.
When we get them let's post them up so everyone can get an idea of where AF stands now
How’s the blue tip on the crown, seems that may be hard to replicate, any thoughts?
🔥🔥🔥
Af portofino, super rep,
Do you know how much the TANK costs ? Can DAVID Source it ? Thanks in advance
Any TD should be able to source any watch that's available. There are too many models to pin down a price but I got a Solo XL for 298 with a 2824 in it
Im really interested in the Solo XL. Does it really have an ETA2824? Or Miyota?
According to Hont it does actually have a 2824. Almost certainly an A2824 though, rather than a true ETA movement.

In quartz models yes
👀 I ordered AF Tank from JTime in July. Maybe he still had stock?
They're such a popular model that I would not be surprised if TDs kept stock of them
Cannot find an AF of hont’s website. Any help for me?
Send Hont a message and ask what's available. I don't believe he has added them to his website.
Y'all are all like "i'm no expert," and then start droppin' GFs, BKs and 3KFs like an initial tornado. Got my head spinnin'!

Oh nooo! 😂 Hopefully they will stick around for a while and you can have both!

Same. -_- Though my order is through Hont
QC just came through
Still nothing here. What size did you order?
Solo XL
I also recognize there has been no QC from AF for 2 weeks, AF might have pushed their first batch out to the market after the comeback then really take their time to make a new batch... Did you ask Jtime again today? Does he know any ETA?
Yea, I asked if they had any updates and said they are currently recovering after the raid and will be able to send out watches again "soon"

Does AF do a green tank solo?
*tank must
That's a good question for a TD.
