Sorry what you have shown is the non box version so the argument about being left justified and closer to the top is somewhat invalid.
Even if that’s true, I would still request for my datewheel to sit in the center.

This week Buff quoted me RMB 8000 + 500 for shipping. Seems their price is standard (?).

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.

U can tell if its buff hands by the lume. Buff hands have super strong lume power. It will glow full in like 2 sec in the sun. It will appear way more green then the dial in sunlight. But the lume match in the dark. But buff QC is not stable. Many QC i see have buff hands with 3K second hand . Which is not a full set. Real buff second has very small and flat pinon . And buff hands are white gold plated.
the price is same as buff. But peggy didnt sound very truthful on her work. base on the info she gave you.
first custom steel case in china is call CNC case. Real CNC have different inner construction to fit in Gen mvt. But for this price it got to be just normal 3k case.
those doesnt look like buff hands.
endlink not mod. Crown trimming doesnt look like it also.
Look at Alvinado watch , u will see the difference in endlink, and the roundness of the crown.
gen endlink got a big cap between the case and the first link.

I agree. It seems like they might even use the same person for the mods dare I say lol.

It’s possible however this is what agreed upon with her. I keep looking at the crown and maybe it’s just my eyes but I honestly don’t really see it. Again maybe it’s just me. Sounds like I got a $1250 modded watch with a few light mods. It’s still nice but after trying it on though I’m not sure if I like it on my wrist. I’m thinking a 3800 might suit me better.
the above is the real CNC case. The circle part is the main difference with 3k and CNC . As read somewhere before this opening is needed to install gen mvt .
i do not comfirm this info.

It’s funny you send that as I have A similar picture from Peggy.

Real gold case must be CNC since 3k never made one. but steel version unless she show u before she install.
as i know CNC steel case cost around $800 usd. However i dont think its worth it. Other then the circle part, there is nothing different from the 3k.
errr, doesn’t matter boxed or unboxed hence why I shared both Chrono24 originally and then followed up with some ig links…I owned the genuine watch up till a year and a half ago so I know what I’m looking for…thought I made out like a bandit (purchased at $34k, sold it for $105k) but obviously didn’t think the market would continue to melt up like it has, the more recent discontinuation definitely added to the frenzy even more. It’s still just a bloody ss watch at the end of the day!
Anyhow, I’m just trying to point out that the genuine article, regardless of boxed or unboxed logo has date numerals slightly closer to the left edge of the date box. Not touching the top like another person mentioned (only touches when still mid-transition between dates).
The numerals of the 20s-30s also have much less leading ie numerals are much tighter together than the teens.
Depending on year of the watch the font weight also varies. The gen I owned was a 2011 and is identical to buff’s datewheel font weight. Peggy’s dw font is neither the thin version or the thick version, it’s some weird in-between.
Hence, my observation that she created a problem that was never a problem to begin with. But I guess if you like your date numbers really centered and spaced out, then all the power to you…
