@grillbrill & @jm_brc_7057 thanks a lot for your input

I like the look of the beveled indices on the SW too, even if they aren't completely gen like. I really love the 5712 and am tempted to upgrade to Mr Wang's version with the SW mods, including moon phase, but may hold off while the market develops alternatives like Buff. I'm glad this reference is getting attention similar to the 5711 in the aftermarket. Great for our hobby.

Quite disappointing to see that the BUFF dial doesn't have larger white dots at 25/35. This makes it really difficult to tell the time when the minute hand is near 25/35.

Also on the BUFF dial, the 6 marker has too big a lume plot. On GEN the lume plot at 6 is much smaller.

Recent stock has a tiny bit more blue but overall the dial just has far too much purple and black tones to it. Still a beautiful dial. Wear it in good health!
I think the dial color is ok for me. Nobody in my social hemisphere will notice the lack of blue color in certain light situations and for me the +1s /24h movement (checked it in real life and on my Timegrapher), working moonphase and power indicator, waterproofness and stainless steel case makes this watch allmost perfect. The dial change color in different light situations and looks stunning. I can understand people that a looking for the best/100% copy of the gen, but nobody will believe that i can afford a 200000€ watch or that Patek AD will ever sell me one…😂😎

Looks very god indeed. Price is reasonable enough considering all the modding, parts and shipping cost involved, without mentioning the extreme patience that you will need for the waiting as well....
