The sw is so much nicer . Lucky u got the newest vvs. I noticed the vvs v1 is coming back in the new batch now. I ppaced an order too.My SW (VVS?) (boxed logo) vs. Buff v3 (non boxed logo) under various lighting conditions:
Thank you for the comparison pics. Which dial of the two do you like better? Which of the two looks more gen like? Which is better quality? Which one of all your dials is the most gen like in you opinion?My SW (VVS?) (boxed logo) vs. Buff v3 (non boxed logo) under various lighting conditions:
That was my opinion on the markers of the sw/vvs, too. The seem to be scatched and less,quality than buff v3...
SW dial hasn't got any purple color or hue in real life either (neither do Buff v1/3 and PPF v4 dials). If you can see that in pics then it's due to the color distortion of the camera or the display. SW does have green tint but much less than Buff v1/3. SW has more blue but not as much as PPF v4. SW blue is darker than PPF v4 blue. SW has a bit less sunburst than Buff v3. SW non fluorescent lume color is whiter than Buff v1/3. Here is another comparison pic of my watches and dials. From top to bottom and from left to right: Buff v1, PPF v4, PPF 5712 v1 - Buff v3, SW/VVS.

I haven't seen SW hands in person. Buff hands lume significantly differs from SW markers lume for sure.

It does look greener than a ZF 16202 though. Although both could use a bit more green to be more like gen. Note the massive difference in lume between Buff lume and 3KF hand lume. Anyway, getting too off thread topic, enough about the new Buff lol. Was originally going to wait until I swap in the other parts before posting in that thread.
Maybe i missed it, but what dial is in the 5711?
Sw hands are almost same as buff. But a little bit more green in normal light. Second hand is shorter then buff and gen. pinon hole is a little higher are rounded . Qc wise pretty much the same. Buff hands seems to be a bit better , but installing the second hand might be easier with sw, you dont need to enlarge the pinon tube
Thank you very much for your detailed information! Good to have all the experts around in this forum!
Better off wait for new batch buff . Sw is aligned but the background color is pretty gray. It should be white as buff.Do you have any comparison of SW datewheel vs 3kf or Buff? I got my Buff date in and yeah some of the dates are not aligned

Yes . Its more gray in real life.So this is SW date on the right?
5711 all kind of blue dials
I chose buff hands over sw. sw is a bit more white , but thats not gen like. Gen hands is greenish hub. It supposed to be unmatched. Sw second hand is shorter then buff which also not gen like.
Noob question here. I have no clue what Buff dial and SW dials means. I'm about to buy a ZF V3 Aquanaut but, having tried a gen, the dial is way to green. What should I do?
They're dials made by another factory. You can ask your dealer if they can source them and they may or may not be able to. You then need to either open up the watch and swap it yourself (not too hard, about $30 in tools and watching some Youtube videos), or send everything to a watchsmith/modder to get it done (that costs money and is usually a month+ wait).
