Have a look at my perfect 5711 and let me know what you guys think :)

Can you post more pics in different indoor/outdoor lighting conditions? It seems this blue-heavy Buff dial is the current batch but I'd like to see it in different light.

No offense as it's a good looking watch, but that doesn't look like a franken to me. Looks like a 3K stock with Buff dial, maybe re-engraved movement

Did buff fix his dial? Mine has a strong sunburst which is different from gen even though it looks great standalone.

The engraved movement is a big upgrade.

Can you share your dial pictures? I think there's three Buff variants and I'm trying to put together an image album.

Damn, what a beauty. If you ever change your mind on the “not for sale” bit, I’d be happy to give her a new home.

To all of you sending me PMs, sorry my watchmaker is not taking on work from this forum, so no, I can’t share his information :)

Sorry for the hijack, I am researching for my next watch, hopefully a 5711 green build. Does anyone know if ODM dials are still any good compared with the current crop of buff dials? @grillbrill
To tell the truth I like that green ODM dial in pics as much as or even more than my green Buff but unfortunately my dealers cannot source only the dial for me. One of my dealers stated that ODM dial was an early Buff's, another claimed ODM wasn't a factory but it simply means an OEM maker. So idk what the truth is.

Odm green dial is the best and closest to gen. not just the color but also the texture. but odm blue is bad. Basically green ODM, blue VVS V1.

Do you know whom we can buy the green ODM 5711 dial from? I'm interested in the dial only, not the whole watch.
