New 5711 Nautilus Modder/Factory - BUFF?

Haha, this is the million (sorry, some hundred) dollar question. Unfortunately I don't have a direct contact with Buff and WeChat seller popup didn't reveal it to me (he might not know either).

Yes I have last batch dial from Buff and my watchmaker worked feet for install. New hands have little they are perfect, they are just a little brighter than the markers (just like gen) but no longer as bright as the previous versions which in my opinion were too much.

I'll let you know if the Buff second hand will install unchanged on the 3kf
Do you know when Buff newer dial came out? I had an AMF build within last few weeks done…I assume it must be this newest batch. But I don’t have an older version to compare against

My watchmaker modded the 3KF movement for the Buff seconds hand.

idk I'm guessing the pinion cannon was modified, I'm just repeating what he told me. I didn't ask for any details.

You're right, the tube of the Buff seconds hand was widened to fit the 3KF's cannon pinion
I asked my watch smith , but he said the tube is way too small to widen. I guess might need a more experienced smith to do so.
Yeah, he mentioned it as an alternative to the stock clone movement dial, which he agreed was too purple. I have not placed an order yet myself, but I think this looks promising for sure.
I compared this Buff dial with the PPF v2 using my superimposition technique. The background pic shows a PPF v2 watch and my red drawing represents specific points of the Buff dial. Based on this comparison the Buff's moon phase cut looks smaller than that of the PPF v2 dial. Nevertheless, this Buff dial would be good with an appropriate Buff moon phase disk. However, I suspect this dial is simply v1. (See my previous post here.)

I’m afraid it’s simply a PPF V1 dial, see my conversation with PopupI compared this Buff dial with the PPF v2 using my superimposition technique.
