The hour markers seem to have a different colour than the numerals in this pic.

Which dealer did u get it from ? Popup seems to not update any buff product. This is exactly what i want. But now the thing is there is no more 3k watchs.

Does it fit on a 3K?

I don't need a dealer since I know the manufacturer. 3k offer their products to 1st tier resellers once every month, if you miss it this time you will have to wait.

yes. Since this is the first batch of 20. Many things need to be improved.

Yes it honestly doesn't look great, the Patek Philippe printing is also too fat and not centered

The stamp itself looks really good. Will be looking to have a modder do the at some point.

Are resellers different from TDs?

I would love to see this come to fruition

Where’d you hear this?

Some resellers of Buff parts are Instagram only, and not TDs on the forums.

I've said it once, I'll say it again. The SWF and the BUFF dials are something I personally wouldn't put into a watch quite yet. The hour indices should be a 'bubble' and not a flat lume square like they are now.

So what’s our best option for right now for the 5711/5167? Buff set + Relume?

^^ Gen pic for reference.

This looks done by machining, due to the edges and perfectly domed lume bubbles. I personally don't think hand luming would get this level of precision. Best to wait.

3KF dial has lume that's too yellow, and the bubbles aren't raised enough, but is the best currently available from the hour index perspective. It's still not a very good dial though overall for a couple of main reasons.

ZF dial is not glossy and not raised enough, but is still better than BUFF/SWF.

All that said SWF has better sunburst than ZF and 3KF, but is a $500 upgrade that has stickers for lume.

I totaly agree. Good to know i am not the only one who think the sw or buff lume make the dial look more fake. The 3kf dial other then the more greenish , the QC looks closer to gen. and with buff hands , the hand and dial really do match in most conditions since buff hands is super bright . Even the smallest light will make it glow.
