I bought the watch then didn’t like the V in the crown guards. It needed a datewheel and re-lume so I decided to go all the way.
Hopefully Keylog datewheel out soon. ;-)

Thanks Gilrob. I expect it to be an excellent example and am sure Legend will have a bunch of orders after this one.

Good luck to you guys,
It is hard to look for the BEST Dial blue 5711 now
For the CASE , PF > PPF in some points but not that much
Bracelet, I know PF really feel better than PPF but some GEN Owner said PPF closer to GEN. But if I was you, I will still definitely choose the PF in the mod !
But IMO PPF 5711 White do not need much mod ? the only mod I can think it to move the hold movement /dial/hands to the PF Case (If can be, obviously) since the PF Case is just a little bit thicker than PF, I think is will be OK ?

PF and MKF have been around awhile and seem pretty reliable. The MKF blue dial is very close to gen.
PPF bezel is not the correct size and dimension which ruins the esthetic of the whole front view. The crown sticks out too far. The PF does not have these issues.
The PPF white dial is fairly accurate and many members say it’s good except for the date window which needs paint I believe. So Mr. Marbella’s idea of putting a PPF white dial in a PF should look great.

So the PF is case is the right choice, and you say for the blue dial pick MKF version above all other in terms of accurate to gen?
Is it also possible to thin the PF case?
Hi, I'm quite interested in this very same transplant, ie. the dial/hands/movmt of PPF white into the PF case set. Not too concerned about the clasp so far, but I guess there would be room for exchanging also the case backs, which I guess would shave some thickness off. I'm confident that PF's crown and stem would fit.
pls keep us posted,
cheers

Yes. Most modders agree PF is closest to gen, as well as a gen owner which posted side by side comparisons. MKF dial is very close as well.
The PF case can be thinned a bit.

Printing on MKF looks quite close to gen. I can’t say if it’s better than any given PF but the dial color on the MKF is superior - most would agree.

Great question. I have the Keylog for PF but may need to use the Keylog MKF. Not quite there yet.

looking forward to this as well. I'm still waiting for my 'super'rep as well. All I know is that MKF dial is superio, so might just get a PF one as well then as apparently PPF is not 100%
The Keylog PF DWO is not compatible with the MKF v5/6 dials. There will a specific Keylog DWO for the MKF v5/6 dials coming soon.

PF movements and MKF v5/6 movements share the same Miyota 9015 movement, which the Keylog DWO is designed to fit on. The difference is in the date calendar window location on the dials used on the MKF v5/6 and PF models. This is the reason for having different Keylog DWOs for its specific application.
I'm probably saying something stupid, but: The movement is the same (apparently) and all these watches are designed to look as close as possible as the gen. SO why is there a difference on DWO's then?
The date calendar window location on the dials of the PPF and the MKF v5/6 are different.
