New 5711 Nautilus Modder/Factory - BUFF?

[SuperLory]

I think it's just okay. I've only ordered the green dial for myself as the V4 PPF dial suits my fancy just fine. This is a incremental improvement that I don't see worth my while. However, compared to 3K's original dial, this may well be a big improvement.

PPF V4 pics from me for reference:

this is a nice blue in my opinion

Agreed. As someone who has owned several gen blue 5711 dials, the PPF V4 is still the closest I've seen to gen.

It is blue bro ;-)

Box logo dial shouldn't have any green in it...and ironically the hour markers are too round.

I'm so jealous. :cry2:My PPFv4 dial doesn't have that blue. See https://forum.replica-watch.info/fo...855-nautilus-comparison-pictures#post10331855

FYI
Today I received the QC pics of my blue Buff 5711 dial ordered through JTime. Already accepted. I wonder how will it look in person.

Both blue and green Buff 5711 dials costed USD 358 each.

Wow. The dial does look nice, but that’s over half the cost of a 5711 from 3kf/ppf

True. The price might be lower in case of a direct order from Buff, idk. 5711 is one of my grail watches and I'd wholeheartedly pay $5k for the gen timepiece if it was available in that price range. My 5711 reps have proven on my wrist so I don't mind spending more for certain mods which might make significant improvements on the appearance or the functionality of my reps.

Has your QC come in from Jtime on the green dial? Blue dial looks great.

I received a date disc from another source, but it looks very close to the BUFF date disc. I am posting it here as this is a fun modding thread now too.

^^ Here it is compared to the BIONONE date disc prototype (which is on the left). The newer date disc is more bold, which I like. Bionone has told me that his is final release will be more bold and slightly larger as well.

^^ BUFF's version

^^ New version I received. The single digit 1 looks different from BUFF so it is potentially not the same.

^^ Installed on the 3K v2 dial.

I am still awaiting my package to come in from BUFF factory.

Not yet. I'll post a QC pic when I get them.

Direct buy is way way cheaper…

I guessed so either but I had nobody who could have helped me out.

Today I received the QC pics of the green Buff 5711 dial from JTime. Already accepted. Based on the pics I can reasonably hope the dial contains that darker olive green tone which I miss from the stock 3KF dial.

That green looks stunning! Not gen-spec green but the colour still looks great. Can't wait to see you put it on your 3KF.

Yep, and the color looks quite dynamic even under artificial lighting:
