Thank you for sharing the info. I also heard about the new batch dial but didn’t know about the markers issue.
Is that the one at 12 o’clock?
How about the green layer on the dial, do you still see it at some angles?

buff dial and dw face light in many angles What is your opinion?
I do agree been around a long time to see what's happened over the course of more than a decade, but 50% more is a lot to swallow for some...
Then again I received my QC photos from buff on the 9th, messaged him a few days ago said no control over customs and that was all the communication I have had.. But I did think another member mentioned buff's area has covid so it's a complete lockdown?

Got a mini update was told the watch is waterproof from Peggy but no clue to what degree yet. I’m thinking it’s the same as Buff if anyone knows. Still trying to find someone locally with a dry water tester machine.
read back the last 10 pages. he is on wechat watchbuff. there is also the instagram seller by the name peggy.

I know from Peggy that the case and the bracelet of their 5711 with Buff dial and hand set are in non modded factory condition. How about Buff's reps? Buff replied to me that their 5711 was entirely reworked ("grinded" in translation) but unfortunately the language barrier prevented me to be able to get more info from them about this topic especially regarding the bezel.
Buff repolish the bracelet and crown reshape. Silent rotor. Moveable endlink as gen. bezel is untouched . But 3k updated the bezel now its very gen like thin. But it might be batch to batch

Its funny you say that as when I asked Peggy if the case and bezel was customized, the reply was yes. Maybe it was lost in translation. However, I asked if they provide customized steel case and bezel, 3kf movement, movment servicing and rotor silencing, buff hands, buff dial, custom date wheel, crown triming, ar coating and waterproofing. The reply was yes to all except AR coating which they said they dont do and waterproofing to which the reply was "This u don't worry". Later she said its waterproof but not to what extent.
