New 5711 Nautilus Modder/Factory - BUFF?

[BIONONE]

bevel and refinish movement edges

If that's the case I would love a movement picture as well - sounds like a mod never shown on here before! Sounds more than just interesting - especially coming from Legend himself.

Looking forward to som movement eye-candy

too loose or too tight?

I have had bad hands from AliExpress come in that a customer might want installed a few times, but use cutting broaches to make holes bigger or other tools to tighten the hand collars.

The tube is too small. My watch smith cant even broach it. He said not happening the hole is way too small. From my other buff moded full watch, my watch smith said buff cut the tube and just clue on the second hand.
the dumbest part is , buff advertise his v2 hands is made to fit 3k without broaching.
i asked 98studio (where i got it) he confirmed he shipped me v2.

Base 3k

Buff dial and datewheel

Bevel and polish case and bracelet

movement tear down, bevel and refinish movement edges , service and rebuild and regulation

Thin and reshape bezel to gen spec

Recess crown

Prob some more stuff

not certain It’s appropriate to discuss Legend’s costs but it was a lot and worth it

It looks amazing buddy! The finishing looks great and the case shape too. Also the dial is good. Only thing you could consider is to change the date wheel. The green dial and Tiffany 5711 has a thick date font.
Wear in good health.

Thanks but the green also has the thicker font datewheel

To my eyes, this watch is suffering from the classic 3k fat* bezel problem ...

*Brush flat surface too large...

EDIT: your crystal seems to be twisted

To my eyes, this user is suffering from the classic RWI fat* whiner problem ...

*Brush flat demands for the price is too large...

If you are not attached to details why not ordering a stock 3K instead of a modded buff ;-)

No offense, mate, just joking

That’s what I meant buddy. Your date font looks thin, like it is on the blue and white gen. I agree with you, that the green dial has the same thick date font as the Tiffany.

Did you change the crystal as well? It doesn’t seem to be pressed flat. I had the same issue when I swapped in a deep factory crystal on another build - so I tend to spot things like this now. Careful with WR.

Exactly ...

Thanks for pointing out the Crystal all
I shared with legend and he offered to make it right but I have a watchsmith for a friend and I’m going to have him press it in properly for me
I was actually able to press it in myself but I’m going to have it double checked

As far as the datewheel goes I’ll let you guys debate that but I took a couple shots at the 18 position and it’s looks good to my eyes. Gen pic for comparison

And here’s a couple pics of the movement beveling
Hard to capture as I’m not a good photographer but I was asked to share
Keeps perfect time

Love the watch but it wears so small compared my standard fare

Looks phenomenal - wear it in good health!

Tanya date wheel is good to my eyes....
watch is good... you might source some buff hands to match your dial it would be a real plus, the original 3kf are a tad too white....

I have an olive from Legend with less mods but with the date wheel mode done. One thing I had given him feedback on is the "1" on the datewheel, where the length of the front slash is a little too short. If you look at a gen, you can see is slightly longer. Here are two photos below where if you can compare where the one lands relative to the 2. Also the font size in my opinion should be a little bigger as it doesn't really fill out the date window as per gen.

Tanya I see it now. Your date font looks perfect! I think it was the picture that made it hard to see enjoy this. It’s phenomenal. Great build.
