- 3k watch from BUFF (dial, hands, refinish case + bracelet)
- Kellogg anniversary datewheel
- rotor plating
- crown thinning mod

:)

Thank you very much for the information. So Buff did the case/ bracelet refinish and harleysta did install the Kellogg datewheel and made the crown thinning mod?

Is he located in Europe?

My new Buff! :)

Very nice example. Dial color is very close to gen boxed Geve dial imo.
Who did the mods and what was done (also Buff hands and date wheel)
Was the base watch 3KF?
Enjoy this beauty and wear it in good health!

How do you contact BUFF? I know there is a wechat page but I haven't seen it anywhere. Also they seem to be MIA becuase of the lockdowns?

Based upon a recommendation of an RWI forum member I've started business with another Buff reseller named Popup. I think they doesn't speak English (well) either but I could communicate with them without any problem using WeChat translator. I've been satisfied with them so far. NB: my first order hasn't arrived yet so use them solely at your own risk!

Thank you bro.

I bought a 5711 3kf V2 and the Buff parts (Dial last batch, hands, DW) and my watchmaker fitted the parts. Is gorgeous!

Don't you mind making and posting a short video of your gorgeous watch?

Do they just offer the Buff parts or complete watch modding so that you can order a complete modded watch?

As they is one of Buff resellers I think both, albeit first I only ordered a custom made (non Buff) dial.

Looks great my friend. Just want to clarify, what do you mean by "dial last batch"?

Thanks and wear your watch in good health!
