Agreed, the green dial looks pleasing. I have already ordered it, will share QC pics when available. Per Andrew, 3K is having issues/delays with producing the 5711 because of parts issue (I think one factory is closed)

Wow, that’s a pretty strong green, almost approaching the shade of RLX Hulk. Based on Patek’s website, I though the green was a softer shade

And the hand finished case/bracelet polish, reps aren’t at that stage yet.

Just ordered the 3KF 5711 green dial V2 from Trusty. Andrew said there is a long wait for it right now.

My approved QC pics (just approved). I will never compare this watch to gen (because I will probably never see one in the wild, extremely limited allocation), so enjoy the watch for what it is. Also one of the 3K parts supplier is closed, so QC took a while. Get your 3K watches as quickly as you can, the future looks uncertain (factories and shutting down without notice).
Sorry for so many pics but I thought other members might want to see it.

Yeah, I saw it too but I think the crown is not fully tightened in either (see a gap in macro photo). Anyways, mine is going to a modder for service, will have it checked.
Not when you have to ship your watch internationally to a modder!

Accord11 you should be fine doing the crown mod by yourself. You have done great work before on these types of mods. For instance I saw the work you did on your ceramic ROO JF, outstanding craftsmanship and attention to detail. Not to mention that DLC 15500 you were able to fix up and make look new again. I think you should have more faith in your modding abilities and try this crown mod yourself.
Valid points. Sometimes I underestimate the ability of my craftsmanship. The work I did on my ceramic JF ROO was superb and Legend would have been proud.

He didn’t quote you “2 weeks” did he?
Looking forward to seeing the completed work. He’s in the states?

The date font on the 5711 green looks very very similar to the one on the AP 15500

If PPF comes out with the 5711 green that uses Miyota 9015 it would actually be possible to swap the DW with the one from the ZF 15500 to achieve gen look.
Of course this is assuming that PPF also uses wrong date font and that ZF wants to sell just the DW for its 15500 movement

believe me - it may look similar as it got a more boxy font but the date window and the position will be much different.
the new font is quite a unicorn and i never saw something comparable.

:hehehe: Not 2 weeks, LOL. He is US based. Planning to send him my 3K 5711 and Calatrava for service (and other needed mods)...will let you know how it goes.
