please explain better...PPF is for sure not same to this number 2 buff dial!

Thats exactly what he said. Lol ppf dial with buff markers
he confirm is not his dial but its his hour markers.
IMO the no.2 paint looks too thin and sharp blue. Gen paint have a thicker layer like no.1.

According to buff. No. 2 is the old version. It is acutally a PPF dial with buff markers. Which he used to sell before the buff dial is made

Base dial PPF is 1 or 2?
thanks

Blue PPFv4 dial with its grey hue is a great one imho. I like it much better than 3KF's. 3KF dial is much less dynamic than PPF or Buff. Buff dial is a different story with its green tint and stronger sunburst. PPF misses that green and Buff misses that blue what I'd want.

More and more confused. But I don't see any PPF dials...
Maybe n.1 is more gen like with less sunbrust...

u see this polish bevel at the edge. Just polish that part more, then in real life it will look very close to gen.

Just did the same "trick" with CapeCod on my PPF, damn, it really makes a big difference , how the light hits it. I carefully polished the edge for like 2 hours in total. Thank you Sir. Everybody should do this to their 5711 rep. Also I was thinking would 1200grit polishing stone work even better?

Glad u liked it. I would not suggest doing with sand paper.

Playing in the office with my new iPhone, lol.
After a very long time of waiting with a lot of “misunderstanding” meanwhile, I finally got my 3KF watches from Buff (3 weeks ago), then Harleysta91 completed the mods and overhaul…

Congrats! I very like the bezel, did you have it modded, too? In addition, I've never seen such a recessed crown! Can you manually wind and set the watch without any issues?

Lol, the crown works without any issues. That mod + installation of Keylog74 DW V2 + movt overhaul was done by Harleysta91 and the watch (3KF V2) with reworked case & bracelet + PPF dial & Buff hands was ordered as is from Buff directly.

Congrats, it looks amazing. Can I ask - is your modder who did the crown from EU?

Regarding the crown mod modders might have an easier situation with the 3KF case because afaik the right (and the left?) ear of the 3KF case is wider than gen's.

Also the way bezel looks in photos depends on lens of the camera/angle/lighting etc. For Example this is my PPF that's stock, except for the bezel edge polish AC1013 suggested. Photo taken on my 13 Pro Max using 3X lens.

Are you sure my friend? What do you think about this one?

PS: mech500 please check the color of the hands, it seems like they don’t match lume dial’s indices

Yea. You’re right bro. Looks likely my buff.

It’s just ugly. Distracting to the eyes. I wouldn’t be happy wearing that in gen - id feel like I’ve been scammed lol
