Any chance for more pics of this odm under different lighting? Sun light, florescent, warm light. Whatever you can

Looks great! Which hands did you use? Relumed to match ODM dial markers?

Thanks, I like the result of @Spongebob's modding work, too.

Yes, I've wanted to but something always intervened. I'll do it asap. Iirc irl my dial might not have as strong olive tone as gen's is pictured in photos and videos. You'll see it and can decide.

Gen appears very dark when tiled away from the light and olive green when directly lit

It's really hard to capture it in video, camera just isn't picking colors up corectly (iPhone 15 Pro Max). Also it's sort of overcast here today, and the minty grayish green isn't popping out. But I tried my best. If I go to them mall today I'll try to capture it in the harsh store lighting. I got my modded watch from a non TD, whole thing with SW set, Deep Crystal and movable first link mod was around $1.1K.

This looks beautiful - the dial colour looks very close to the real deal. Are you able to share who you used to mod the watch?

Gen appears very dark when tiled away from the light and olive green when directly lit - see these two colour-corrected shots of gen.

Odm dial looks very close to this color under white light.

For the 5711 blue and green dials, the most important thing IMO is more the way it plays with the light than the color.

There are very few persons that have actually seen a gen green dial in the flesh and there are many color variations for the gen blue dials.

The sunburst effect however is an instant tell for anyone who knows anything about the 5711 blue and green dials, I have the SW green dial and I love how it plays with the light. I had the Buff one before that and found the sunburst to be too powerful and uncontrolled.

But remember that in the end it all comes down to personal tastes and preferences.

I like the SWF, as well, with a few caveats covered in my separate thread: 3KF Patek 5711 (green dial) + SWF mods

I've compared the watch under different lighting conditions with the gen pictures on Chron24, and I can't tell the difference in the olive green color or sunburst effect. But as noted in my review, the PATEK PHILIPPE/GENEVA) is ever so slightly to low in relation to the lines on the dial, and the SWF date wheel is not perfectly centered in the date window (you can try Keylog or something else if going the SWF dial route). I did see some gen 5711 with there date slightly off-center to the left, so I'm not terribly concerned, but would certainly prefer if SWF had fixed this.

I have the keylog/bionone date disk and its perfectly centered. Looks amazing as well.

Yeah, I love it. I bought it from a dealer named MartinLee but AFAIK he's out of the business.

Thanks for the recommendation @KGZ. I changed out the SW date wheel for a keylog (@BIONONE) date wheel, and now the date is better centered in the SW dial date window. My watch guy said it was hard to replace the date wheel because popup glued the SW dial to the movement, but now I'm happy with the overall look of the watch (3KF + SW green dial + SW hands + keylog anniversary date wheel.

Any chance we can get more ODM photos under direct light.

Ok, I'm trying to do it this week but don't expect direct sunlight.

Do trusted dealers have access to the keylog date wheels (like asking for SW upgrade on dial)or is this something that has to be ordered from someone specifically?

Compare it with GEN, sw is better in any light I think

 

[RollyAP]

Does ODM make any other colored dials for the 5711?
