Finally got mine, looks super solid and gives that "expensive" feeling by all means. Can't ask for more, i'm happy.

Specs: 3k base + Buff hands + v2 Buff DW + v2 buff dial

No bro . That doesnt look like buff dial on the new ppf. It looks pretty close to mad paris dial.
I will try to find some pics
You may be right. Here is a QC pic of my Buff dial from last year:

That looks incredible to my mostly untrained eye. What mods did he do to Buff?
Thanks mate, pics dont really do justice, from person its more incredible, SpongeBob's work is top notch

It is:
Ppf dial
Tiffany stamp
Bevel markers and replating

Is it fair to say this is as good as you can get on the 5711 dial short of gen?

The PPFv4 dial color is one of my favorite dial colors of all my (50+) watches. Afaik it is the only real alternative to gen if you don't mind missing green/teal hue from your 5711 dial. It's said some gen dial variants lack the green/teal hue either.

I have an AMF 5711 that just finished. Believe they used a custom dial (likely Buff) and I was fortunate to get a really good dial within that batch. I don’t believe they incrementally modded it though. Should get it within a few weeks. Will try to post pics.

Sounds good. Looking forward to seeing some pics of your modded watch.
