5711 PPF v5 and 3KF v2 (or v3)?

[Ralph Lauren]

Hi guys.

Just near buying my first PP, and so digged almost all threads about 5711.

So the main question is what weaknesses and strength of each version?
For me - it’s more important dial quality, then movement.
And the second question (guy from another thread just asked about it yesterday) - does 3KF v3 exists? Because some of TDs have it, and some not.

There are plenty on info here, read it up before you ask anything we have covered already.

Unfortunate - there is no info about 3KF v3

really? What are these then?



Go to google, type in: "site:forum.replica-watch.info 5711 3KF v3" on the search bar, and you will see how much info about that one RWI.

OTTB: latest 3KF or PPF

Base watch to be modded: CNC or latest PPF

Dial: gen or latest Buff or SW

Why is a CNC machined case needs to be modded? Shouldn't it be created to the specs you originally wanted already?

Does anyone know if the 3kF caseback is compatible to the PPF case?

To OP: Go with PPF if you want the closest looking dial OOTB.

Some feel its bezel is still fat and the bevelling isn't perfect.

Okay got it.

If its still going to be modded anyways its practical to use ppf as base.

Hehe, blue 5711 is a rabbit whole. Without a gen dial you will never be fully satisfied.

True, and a gen blue dial costs an arm and leg.

Yep, and I think it will cost more and more.
