Is anyone else aware of Buff offering full builds? I thought they were just a parts factory.

My friend is very close to him and he sent me the chat with buff..-photos and else

but i haven t the direct contact with him
Is the buff you refer to is 98popup or RMV (which is the old scammer 98studio) ?
As i see your watch arrived, it has a buff dial, then everything else is stock.
Buff is a factory line for parts, he is not a person.
And i will stay away from those two . They just copy and paste other peoples work and call it themselves for qc to customers.

my problem now is that i haven t talked directly to buff but i ve talked to a friend close to him, soi don t have any contact and my “friend “ disappeared for other reasons that i couldn t write here.

Buff send it directly to me and not through my friend…the tracking and the label are clear …so my friend doesn t manage it

this is my sad story 😢
I’m very sorry for this unfortunate story. The first question you should ask yourself would be if this is really a friend and if you’ve made big purchases with him already and if you believe it that he’s gone now that you received the watch.

I had to wait a very long time for my watch too, the watchsmith my seller used sent us the wrong watch once, then he didn’t put on the right hands and lastly he installed the hands wrong. If it’s a legit seller he should be able to resolve this for you, ar least refund you the money you paid for the upgrades.

Do you know who your friend's contact was, who the seller was?

Buff is not a person. It’s the name of a factory.

and this is the risk of using non TDs even if you’re going through a “friend” (who conveniently disappeared).

Sorry to write this but it is really true.

i ve bought 6 month ago a completely modded 5712 from buff, i ve yet wrote about it in this thread and some of you even asked me info in pvt.

well…after sending me photos of work in progress…like dial and engraving movement , he sent me qc s to approve the whole watch.
approved and thoose are the photos:




so, the watch should have:

stock ppf clone
buff dial
buff hands
modded moon disk
engraved movement
copped pionions
rebrush
waterproof

total 1400€


the watch that arrived to me is this one





THIS IS A STOCK WATCH …NOTHING COMPARED TO THE QC S

my problem now is that i haven t talked directly to buff but i ve talked to a friend close to him, soi don t have any contact and my “friend “ disappeared for other reasons that i couldn t write here.

Buff send it directly to me and not through my friend…the tracking and the label are clear …so my friend doesn t manage it

Honestly speaking. You got scammed either way. QC or the watch you got.
first $1400 euro including the list of mod he offer is very low, which doesnt make sense.
As seen in your QC pic, it doesnt have ANY buff parts. It is a SW dial, sw moon disc, stock ppf hands and cap over pinon, So basically the watch you thought have all the listed mod already dont match.

Then the watch you got now, it HAS a buff dial, rest is stock. So non of these watches are what you confirm to buy.

According to your qc background, He is a well known installation guy in Beijing .But I am pretty sure he doesnt scam people, he doesnt even sell watches. He just install parts and get pay labour. So its your friend or the dealer is the one who scammed you. And at the end who knows if this bejing guy even worked on your watch or they just copy other qc pics and sent you.

There is no way that he even got a Buff dial. Thats a stock PPF. The indices are not beveled in the slightest and it has a purple-ish hue in that lighting. Tell him like it is, he got a stock watch for 2x the going rate

Sorry but you do not have enough knowledge of this parts. BUFF dial is the only aftermarket dial which have a huge cap between the date sub dial and the second sub dial. BUFF markers on 5712 are also not as bevel. As the link you include , it is a SW v2 dial. And it even saids that in the sale thread . Sw and buff is different factory. The below is buff dial vs stock ppf. The reason why member always get scammed is because they dont have the correct info and knowledge.
