In precedenza, il popup del venditore di WeChat ha pubblicato queste foto dell'ultimo Buff 5711 nei suoi momenti. Non sono sicuro se quelle mani siano azioni 3KF o Buff:
3KF hands bro

Just finished reading the whole 65 pages. Thank you everyone for sharing your inputs.

Just pulled the trigger to make my own 5711 build as well.

Our plan is 3kf base + ppf v4 dial + custom DW + ppf hands / buff hands (depends on availability)

First link not movable, Does anyone has any advice on how to do it so i can try it myself?


I'm guessing the adjacent edges of the lugs and/or the first links should be chiselled (sorry if I used a wrong English verb for this process).

Nice watch....
you should remove the bracelet, and slightly trim the edge of the first link below the case ....

Take the bracelet off, sand down the lower part of the first link, where the spring bar hole at. Dont over do it tho. When you reinstall the bracelet on , use some force and push the endlink toward the case more, that will loosen it up a bit more.

IMO you should also install full set buff hands to make it perfect since now you already got the best case .

Looks great -- Buff dial has a distinctive sunburst (more than the gen) but objectively it's a great looking dial. Legend's finish on case and bracelet look awesome (as always).

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).
Do you know HKRwatch seller? is he legit to sell a product from "buff" like popup does?

Looks great but remember if you swap out the dial the watch will no longer be waterproof. Depending on your lifestyle this could a major factor in making the decision to swap the dial.
