I have been comparing the 3KF, Buff, and SWF dials for a build that I want to have done by Legend, and have concluded the following standout points for each:

3KF
Pro: best hour marker shape and placement, nice sunburst
Con: lume too green for current gen

Buff
Con: sunburst is too strong, marker shape and placement

SWF
Pro: nice sunburst, correct color lume,
Con: marker shape and placement, lume is sticker applied, quite expensive

In my opinion, the best option for this watch it to have the 3KF dial installed and relumed to match Buff hands.

I'm curious to know some of your opinions.

I am going to pull the trigger on a 3KF 5167 and a 5168 green.

Anyone know who makes the best green dial for the 5168g?
