Decided to send off my 3kf to BUFF to get the works... Not penny pinching at the moment and I've fallen in love with the 5711 so I'm going to be getting him to do the works. Just receieved it from Hont and the movement is a bit dodgy. Hont agreed to the return of course but since I need to send it back to China anyway I've decided to go all in with a BUFF overhaul.
Here's what I'm getting:
For 4500. He's going to service the movement for an additional 500.
- BUFF Blue Dial
- BUFF Datewheel
- BUFF Hands
- Complete re-finishing
- Movement noise reduction
Possibly steep, but I'm not too bothered on this one. I'm never going to get the original so I can throw a bit of cash at making the best possible facsimile
Should have spoken to AMF
