Out of curiosity, what is the buying price of a gen blue 5711 dial nowadays?

He’s a watch collector my my country. I honestly think buff dials are based on 2019 box dials which I have to admit is really nice.

I’m also still so confused why ppl are still insisting on matching the hand lumes to the dial markers…gen hands don’t ever match! Just watch any random 5711 blue dial of any year, w boxed or unboxed logo on YouTube!

Here’s one in 4k res:

To my ears, he has a strong Singlish accent, so I’m guessing you’re from sg?

I went to elementary & secondary in sg, left for the states after O levels :)

Bingo!

Hoped you enjoyed your time here. Singapore is a good place to visit, but super expensive to live in!

Lume is always the same base color. It appears more green or brighter because there is a bigger surface area for the lume to shine through. Never understood what’s the issue with that.

So it seem mismatched but it’s not, it’s just brighter and your mind is fucked.

So mismatch is not wrong, because it’s physics. Big area more light.

So if anyone wants to reduce the intensity of the lume on the hands because of that, I would as them why?

Happens on plenty of watches

Buff dial sunblast is just little bit more then gen only. It doesnt have any sunblast under sun light, in door light. The only time you see sunblast is when under yellowlish spotlight. Gen also have sun blast under spot light.( some of them)
Box dial does have different color and reflections then non box. I guess its because everyone is looking at youtube video which are shoot under white light and sunlight so you dont see the sunblast.

I disagree. I can't see such a mismatch on my stock 3KF dial under direct sunlight.

For those who concern about the date alignment here is a Gen 5726 patek
What the guys here would do with this date alignment in a rep? Lol… FYI it’s clearly a gen and it looks like the date midnight change is not engaged

Reading all the comments here, Im more confused as to what blue is the best. Is the PPF white still the best? or is there someone better?
