New 5711 Nautilus Modder/Factory - BUFF?
- Thread starter majwilliams0308
- Start date
Found this site while searching for buff dials on google all night.
Korean society says that installing a buff dial on 3k 5711 may cause problems with movement.
I found buff wechat through forums on this site and even bought it.
The 3k 5711 arrives soon and I want to keep it problem-free for a long time.
Are you running your workout without any problems after buffdial?

My green dial runs butter smooth with the movement.
Wow. What a stunner! These buff dials make gen dials obsolete. Wear in good health.

Probably not, since white is an easy color to replicate. Most white 5711 rep dials look okay, it's the blue ones that needed improvement.

This.
None of the blue I saw looks ok.
I read that latest blue batch from Buff looks ok but I'm discouraged.
I know the rep-game need patience and to be ok with risks but right now we have the following issues stacking for this model:
1) Buff factory is great but TD do not sell their products (unless you have "special" relationship).
2) Non TD suppliers look suspicious to say the least (studio98 or something like that disappearing for months)
3) Modders seem to be able to provide the pieces but no one is located in Europe
4) Custom risks (ok for 700$ but not ok for 2-3000$ modded watches, at least for me
5) Now also different batches with different features without notice
6) still not sure if the various DW aligns properly (a misslagined DW is way way worse than any issues with dial text or colour, at least to me)
With all these issues, even reading for hours on the forum, I still "feel" a great level of confusion regarding these custom pieces.
Maybe I'm not smart enough, maybe everything changes too quickly, but the correct components/mods for a nice 5711 are quite hard to figure for me.
Also to be able to identify how to source a Buff dial and to properly QC it would be something I would feel quite unsure off..
If looking ok means being exactly the same color as one genuine watch I may agree even though I haven't seen all existing variation of blue genuine dial....
If looking ok means being nice and having the feel and look of the genuine watch I disagree...
If looking ok means being called out when on the wrist, then I would respectfully disagree...
>I do have a heavily modded 5711 with no gen parts (<3k€) I showed it to a well reknown modded here, he was chocked about the look and feel....
1/I disagree, just got some buff parts I ordered from a TD....
....
6/no problem of DW alignment if well assembled....
Hope this help....

Jtime does, but doesn't really like to deal with studio98 he said. Said he can be a bit short and rude at times lol.
How do you all recommend cleaning 5711's?
warm water n soap
and then dry with micro fiber cloth?

Warm water with soap and a toothbrush. I’ve done it with reps and several gens also also the polished parts. Got really shiny. Won’t scratch it because the nylon the toothbrush is made of is softer than steel.
I just used my discarded toothbrush haha
here’s an example of the result on vsf hulk. The insert is partly brushed on one side:
