This arrived in the mail today. What's the base, and what are the four mods?


No one commented on your question buddy. Let me give it a try.
My guess: 3KF v1 with crown mod, markers are rounded, bevelling the lug angles and keylog dw. ?

Good eye!

The base is the current 3KF 5711. The mods are: Buff dial, Buff hands, Buff date wheel, and whatever the bracelet first link / lug mod is to make the bracelet hang more vertically.

Thanks for clarifying. It’s a thing of beauty though. The mods makes it closer to gen. Wear it in good health.

Unfortunately, my 5711 is a little worse for wear at the minute… but I do have her ticking again, but she doesn’t have the big tick energy like before.

Read the thread. Interesting read. You’ve been unlucky with it unfortunately. Hope you find a solution.

I took my 3K bezel to a watchmaker for a polish and he told me he coldn't get the crystal off and doesn't want to risk breaking it. Is there a way to remove the glass safely? Is it glued in or just pressed in with a gasket? He told me he couldn't see the gasket.

Dear sir could you be so kind as to let us know which base was used, which mods were done and who did this fantastic modding job.
Looks very good!
