is PPF or 3KF Better OOTB for the 5711?

If you don't care about the movement or modding it with aftermarket dials, I'd say PPF is better OOTB. PPF has better dials (except for white dial, where 3KF is good) and better case beveling, but some think the PPF bezel is slightly too wide.

tbh im thinking of a white dial ppf v5, not sure tho

Hey all, is the consensus still that SW is better than ODM? Going to order a modded watch soon.
Based on videos, the olive of the SW looks much more enticing to me than the "pine green" of the ODM.

In my opinion ODM is better color and finish. Gen is only pure olive in really white lightning, in all the other settings it has ODM color.

Based on these shots, the ODM indeed looks more correct. Guess I am/was just biased towards the olive!

For me ODM color is more exciting compared to that of gen and SW. SW color may be more gen like under some lighting condition though.

Do you know what the differences are between ODM and Gen? Has anyone seen both in this thread?

I think ODM lacks the deep olive green color under certain lightings.

Just my opinion, but SW green dial is pretty good. Like you, I scoured the net for pictures of rep dials (including ODM, Buff, and SW) and gen. I thought the SW dial had more color variability under different lighting conditions and better sunburst effect than ODM (from pics ODM seemed a bit too dark and muted). Both however were better than Buff or PPF/3KF. When I received my watch with SW dial, I again compared the color and sunburst effect under different lighting conditions to those of gen green dials online. The match is pretty close. Considering how rare and expensive the green dial is, I'll probably never see the gen in-person to compare, so you can't really go wrong between SW/ODM options, or even PPF dial for the price. But the SW dial looks elegant, and looks plenty good to me.

100%.

I tried Buff (V2 according to the person I bought it from) and hated it. Then SW and loved it. Then I got an ODM to see if I wouldn't like it better and found the SW to be more to my liking because of the exact same reasons.

ODM is a bit better than SW on small details such as printing and finishing but SW is more "alive" and versatile under different lighting conditions. I won't comment on color closeness to the gen cause it's hard to compare without having the two side by side but I personally like the SW color.

ODM is a great green dial and I would have probably settled for it had it been the first one I got but the SW is just more exciting.

Thanks both for the info! Does the SW dial ever give off that "pine green" or does it always stay within the olive shades? If you guys have any interesting videos to show off the dial, would be greatly appreciated.

Both are great, but I'm in the camp of preferring the SW version. Some pics vs. gen:
