Just finished reading the full tread. Thinking of doing a 5711 mod with PPF dial hands and PF everything else. Can I confirm with the experts here if keylog should be PF or PPF in this case? Any other mods you’d recommend?
I get this question a lot of times so I’ll reply here.
The date wheel needs to be the one made for the specific dial you have/use one your watch/build.
Hey all, I am wondering how long will a Miyota movement last in my rep patek. But I am also considering just switching it out for a eta 2892 and just forgetting about the look of the movement. I could care less about whether the movement looks gen, I would rather the movement last. So should I switch movement or should the Miyota be fine for a couple years??

It will not be a franken beause no genuine factory parts are used. You will need to buy the special PPF Date Wheel Overlay/date wheel plus the watches you already mentioned. In your case, I would send all the parts to slaughterer62, after coordination off course, who is a very good modder in Germany. Look at the sticky at the top of this page entitled, Nautilus Date Wheel Project and search for the website that sells the PPF date wheel.
You have to buy the whole watch broWhere to find PPF white dial and hands?

Ask Akra , he was able to source PPF hands and dial. I'm not sure what color though. He did mention that Intime, Puretime and Toro Bravo offers these items, you'll have to do a special order. About $100.00 is the lowest price for the hands and dial.
