CNC 5711 builds

[Fullofdays]

@JSL121 and I are both on the hunt for a cnc 5711. Anyone have a higher end cnc 5711 build? Who was the builder? We'd like to know what and who to avoid as well. Pics welcome!

The modder named "Hillbilly" has these for sale on his telegram page. Anyone have experience with Hillbilly and/or his CNC cases?

I just bought a case from him. I am going to compare it to my 3kf and determine if it is an upgrade. My cnc case shows up next week and can let you know with side by side pics.

I'm getting prices from 2200 up to 3400 depending on finishes. Here's an example I am looking to purchase. I'd love any patek afficionados feedback before I pull the trigger

My self procured parts/watch and friend watchmaker assembled version is in that range. Hard to put a price on my time and headache. So… if you trust the seller it seems reasonable.

Sharing a few of my QC pics from my purchase.

Cnc case.

Would love to see a detailed comparison between the CNC case and the 3KF case. Bonus points if you can find a modded and reshaped 3KF case to see how close it gets to the CNC one

Here’s my old CNC 5711 build



The CNC case felt so good and looked absolutely stunning. The details are just right compared to 3KF

CNC case, SW kit + end link mod was all. 3KF movement, no engravings or anything.

I've always been curious as to why the CNC case requires end link mod. I thought they would be able to account for it in the custom CNC shape to make it moveable without mods. Unless the CNC is based off the 3K case shape

end link mod has to do more with the bracelet mid links not being the same dimensions as gen than it being a case issue iirc. Most of the end link mods are literally shaving off material from the back of the first mid link to get the proper taper

But the custom CNC cases usually come with CNC bracelets too, they taper differently and are slightly thinner than the factory produced versions from experience
