Hybrid 5711, PPF V4 with 3Kf movement by SpongeBob

[Morofra]

All this that I saw is really my dream! I would like have a 5711 exactly like that but without the "Tiffany" on dial and with the movement with more deep engraving and more finished.
Who can make this ?

Thank you

Yeah okay strange, I wonder why he’s not responding. Has he changed wattsapp number or anything at any point?
Appreciate the info.

@j21 do you have any sense for how difficult it was to put a ppf dial onto a 3kf base/movement? I have a 3kf but want to swap out the dial with a ppf v4, not sure how feasible that is.

Easy

This is a wonderful build want to do something very similar with a green dial. Just haven't made the plunge yet.

The 3KF is a clone movement, so it won’t be compatible with the PPF dial feet. Cut those off, and use dial dots.

Fun fact: A gen dial won’t fit on the 3KF moment as well, feet has to be cut

I wonder where you can get a green-blue PPF dial like that. The PPF V4 has a slight purple hue and the V3 has a very purple hue. Was the green-blue PPF dial even earlier than those?

That was part of a v4 batch. I’ve had a handful of v4 dials, all of them had different colors going from gray/blue to purple/blue. All with variations in the sunburst effect too. It is really down to luck if you get a good dial or not

Here is my latest build with a v4 dial

So decided to create a thread to show my latest build

It all started when i receive months back a ppf v4 blue dial modded from SpongeBob (Tiffany stamp, bevveled markers), buff hands and buff datewheel

I was planning to put them in a 3kf but plans change, so decided to buy a modded case set from SpongeBob again. He suggested for base to be ppfv4, so here we are. The work done is:

PPF base watch and bracelet

- 3k movement

- Refinish the bracelet

- Flexible endlinks

- grease and waterproof test

1. New cavity for 324 movement
2. Recess and reshape the crown
3. Fix the bevel cutting
4. Trim down the thickness to 8.3
5. Fix the fat bezel
6. Fix the left ear

Now some photos

One last thing was to change the second hand from buff, i find the center too small and flat, not the same as gen, so once again i let Steve to prepare me one, beveled and white gold plated, here photo:

And here a photo of a gen second hand so you can compare it

Then when i had everything on hand i send them to Interactiv for assembly
Here the 3kf movement fitted in the ppfv4 case

And the final result

Hope you enjoy

Best regards, J

Amazing build!!

I’m sorry to bother but can you explain what’s meant by fixing the left ear and recess the crown? ((English isn’t my first language so I didn’t get what it exactly means))

Thanks

Did you consider the BIONONE Keylog DW too?

Thanks
Just some case work to make it more gen like
The crown is protruding too much at the rep
Left ear just fixing the shape
