5711 ace movement

[Guiermo]

Hey guys, just got this 5711. Specs: CNC case with deep xtal SW hands, dial and dw Ace movement

1. What do think of the dial color and the patek logo font?

2. The dial and hand lume is very strong, even in sunlight. Do you think it will wear off?

3. I think the bezel is too thick, im not sure it looks good enough, what are your thoughts?

4. There is a big gap between the watch case and the bracelet. Do tou think its ok and gen like?

out of the 2, which is better quality in your opinion? Looks like the right/bottom watch has a slimmer and more accurate bezel, I'm aware its date wheel looks bad, but other then that? I thing the right watch has a better dial tone as well.
Do you think the right/bottom watch has CNC case? Some told me they think it isnt but i was told it is.

Thanks all

I guess your left watch is 3KF. I like it more because of its dial and bezel. The case of your right watch might be CNC or PPF or a mix. I'm not sure if it's the lighting or the reflection but as if the crystal of your right watch flawed the look of the dial and the hands.

So you think 3kf case and dial is more accurate than cnc and buff dial?

This is my PPF based modded rep. I'm not sure how accurate it is compared to gen but I very like it .

Nice rep!

I am more interested in the movement, can you share some more details and photos? Thanks in advance.

Yes, based on the title, how is your ACE movement? Is it running good?

1. What do think of the dial color and the patek logo font?

Colour is difficult to comment on as reality and photos will always look very different for a great many reasons (lighting, angle, dial differences, camera setting such as white balance etc.). It really comes down to which you personally prefer.

2. The dial and hand lume is very strong, even in sunlight. Do you think it will wear off?

3. I think the bezel is too thick, im not sure it looks good enough, what are your thoughts?

Bezel does look a bit thick in the photos. They both have obvious tells, but the one with the thinner bezels looks slightly more faithful to gen IMO.

4. There is a big gap between the watch case and the bracelet. Do tou think its ok and gen like?

I have worn several gens and a few reps and never noticed a gap like that.

Just to understand you right: you like 3kf bezel better than ppf but ppf is more gen like?
Which slope/ rouding of the bezel is the better one as a modding base 3kf or ppf?

Mine is a modded PPF. I think both the latest 3KF and PPF cases are good for a base but the lug bevelling of the latest PPF is more gen like.

Thank you for your quick answer.
When was the latest 3kf batch launched.
Can the 3kf lug beveling modded to gen specification?

I'm not sure, maybe a year ago?

Afaik 3KF lug bevelling can be fixed. Anyway, I like it as is.
