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.

She showed me a video about her blue (not Tiffany) 3KF 5711 with Buff dial and hand set for which she wrote it wasn't re-worked. She might have different watches from this point of view or she can accept customers' requests for some kind of modifications. Or just simple misunderstandings as you said. I hope her service is valid. Anyway, she isn't a TD here, as we know.

Just got my watch yesterday. Ill post some pics as soon as I get it sized to my wrist. Does anyone have a tutorial on how to do it? I have a kit and have done quick set adjustments on my vintage rolex and WMT pieces but never touched a nautilus with pins before. I have the push pins, and pin vice but no tweezers.

Take care of and don't lose the small barrel tube in the middle part of the links when you are removing the pins by hitting or pushing.

In that case it sounds like i should just go to a watch maker and have them do it. I got inspired by Ed Sheeran who does it himself but I dont have any prior knowledge how to do it lol.

U need a tweezer. If not , see if u can use a push pin the get one pin out, then use that one to push out the other .

Looks like the consensus is to get a watch from Peggy’s IG with buffs dial/hands + Peggy’s DW. Is that correct?

what are the color options? Blue, green, white?
how much does this 5711 Peggy watch cost?

My modded buff finally arrived as I was given a dhl tracker and it never updated for 2 weeks then all of a sudden a package arrived at my door from fedex

Was excited to open the package and sized the bracelet so it fit but upon closer inspection I am fairly disappointed for a watch that's supposed to have gone through around round of QC with all the mods that buff performed.

1. Dust on the dial, did not see it on the QC originally
2. a fair sized hair on the rear caseback
But on the "brighter" side of things these two items should be easy to address as it's just a screw caseback and the front bezel is removeable via those 4 screws? (can someone confirm that)

Thanks

Is that a green dial?

The bezel will come off via the hinge screws. In fact, all the caseback gives access to is the rotor side of the movement (the movement and dial are loaded into the casebody from the top side).

What is up with the stains on the rotor?
