Bro, the watch looks good but imho not that better compared to Buff version which would justify the high price.

Dear All,

I leave in EU and I bought both 3kf and PPF latest versions

The only one by the factory 8,3mm thick is the 3kf (I measured with vernier caliper)

The PPF is 8,9mm (I also measured it)

The original is 8,3mm

Also despite the date font boldness the dial colour is far more close to the genuine watch

Hence...... 3kf is a winner for sure!

What do you think?

case looks like a std 3KF stuff with upgraded dial/hands/date...
Yeah I don’t think it was worth it so I didn’t bother. I’ve ordered a 3kf base with all the updated mod bu buff. Let’s see how it comes I’ll share once I get qc photos for feedback! Thanks all really helpful

Obviously a rip-off, and why vietnam modder not Chinese modder? from the origin is always the best.
My Guangzhou dealer charges me only $900 for a full mod 5711

Could you please let me know what a full mod contains you are talking about?

Is it case shape to original looking and specifications (reshaping bezel, crown guard, tube, fist big link) and buff dial, hands, datewheel ?
Anything else?
Which fdealer offers a complete 3K mod?

I don't think the usual Buff modding package includes gen spec bezel reshaping.

Ok sorry seems my "full mod" is not full enough haha... I used the wrong word, it's more like a buff package.
It's 3KF base+buff dial+buff hands+buff date wheel+ first link refinish+bracelet refinish+movement oiling and regulation

The main point here is just buff set, they rest are bonus.
