yes it is, I posted the QC photos I received from buff earlier which show off the color under bright light

ubi - > thanks for the info I will have to try it later to remove and clean it with a bit of rodico

This is the date font for the green dial for the reference. They all using the old font which is instant tell.

Maybe its only thicker but font is the same. Check the “8”

Maybe I am not so sensitive to fonts but what exactly is wrong with the 8?

Buff wheel is the one installed on the movement

Out of curiosity, how much did Buff (98 Studio) recently quote to you for their blue 5711?

Glad I didn’t go w Peggy…dw doesn’t look like gen at all. Too much leading between numerals, weight slightly off but the biggest tell is it’s not closer to the left edge of the date box.

Bro , sorry that those are not buff hands. Buff hands are very green in sunlight compare to the dial.( same as gen) and the pinon is way smaller. Did peggy charged you extra for the buff hands ?? And from the picture, she did not mod the crown and did not mod the endlink. Its still looks good dont mistake me, but i wonder how much she charge you in total. Since buff only charge $8000 CNY for a whole package.

I have no IG account. Could you please describe what you mean?

Gen datewheel in the 1X to 3x should be left adjusted and all number should be also top aligned like touching the top of the date window.

Thanks. So are you sure that is an intentional Patek design?

It was $1250 all in. I referenced what I had discussed with her previously. It included:
-custom steel case and bezel
-3KF movement
-Movement service and rotor silence
-Buff dial
-Buff Hands
-Custom date wheel
-crown trimming

all to which she agreed upon.

I would say it’s not a 100% accurate representation as that would be the hybrid build to begin with. It’s not a bad interpretation just not a Hybrid build :)

These are supposedly Buff dial, Buff Hands and datewheel.

I do not know if I have gotten the full deal, but these look very different from my 3kf hands.
