Guess I'll add some more pics to this thread. I have one on order from biao6688. He sent me these images (not my dial in particular, should receive that QC in a few days).

Btw, there are fake buffs in the marketplace.

The original buff would have running serial numbers with buff remade.

But there is no way to verify except via the details.

It's claimed to be a gen dial. Its smokey color and sunburst looks very similar to one of the Buff versions to me. What's your opinion?

The fact people have to ask shows how close Buff is getting….

They take in your stock 3kf movement and replace it with this

Then they will take your 324 movement and engrave to sell it.

Or you can buy the engraved movement outright

Looking to buy an engraved movement outright, who can I contact for that? My TD said it’s currently just sending in a movement.

You can buy it off some particular sellers, but most work on a trade in package for these engraved movements.

Prices are much higher too.

Seems like this BUFF is using 3KF old leftover v1 cases with incorrect long endlinks. Look at the horrible cut between the crown lugs. Hope they do dials only then.
Wow, you can’t “unsee” that once your eye catches it….good call.

Here's my personal QC for the latest Buff non-box dial. First three are in warm white light and last three are in cold white light. I think it looks great. Sunburst on the SW is too strong, but if you want a box dial it's better than the recent box dial Buffs.

Unreal. What made you choose box vs non-box?

The first teal colored box dial batch was really good, but that's unavailable now. The later blueish and grayish box batches weren't good IMO. The cross on the "A" on the blue batch is too far up, and the gray batch noticeably lacked color. This latest batch satisfies my personal color requirements, and may be the best one yet.

If this latest dial was available in boxed and I could choose, I'd probably go with that, but honestly I'm fine with either. The non-box has a nice minimalism to it.

This watch is great. Is it yours?

Does any one have more references on VVS dial?? I have seen a video online and it looks way better compare to photos but I can never find any more information about it.

well, depend from which eye you look at the dial, i think the first problem is not the color....
I start looking at the dial thinking at the gen…and the color is completely different.. without taking into consideration the fact that the color changes also from boxed and non boxed dials.
