PF Blue & White Dial 5711 Review

[damocles]

Watch has been relumet to correct C1 luminova.

nice relume, the wrong green lume really bother me too on the white dial. It just look really strange.

Natas78 The white dial now en route to Natas for a relume to get rid of the green markers and a marker realignment! Will update you all when I receive back.

Great work Scottymagic. This thread is now a sticky.

Anyone know if Gen dial aligns adequately ?

QueTip ik youd be the only crazy one i know to attempt

 

[Funtimezz]

Only thing I cannot stand about the white dial is the dirty looking hour markers whereas the blue dial has very clear and clean hour markers. Not sure if it is because the black border lines around the hour markers which are only on the white dial, tend to seep through inside the lume making it look a bit dirty.

BP apparently has a better date font although it's still too small and off. The best would be the SW200 date wheel but since that's only available for 2824, it's peak. Unless you may know someone that can reprint the 2824 date wheel to a Miyota spec. I'm looking for the same hehe.

Isn't there someone on here that has a date-wheel mod that is very close to gen, more-so than any of the factories?

There’s a thread dedicated to this in the Patek sub

Bit of an update folks - planning to flip the markers from my Bp v1 and date wheel to the PF (gets rid of the green markers) and waiting on QC for an MKF to flip the markers onto the PF white. Not going to bother trying to fit the MKF dial as it's too difficult to do but should give both a more gen like appearance with the date window on the white masking the smaller date font.

Thanks for your informative review. Do you recall the type of pin removal tool your watchmaker used to adjust the bracelet? It seems many others are having problems with adjusting/sizing their bracelets and I'm trying to figure out what is the best tool for this particular task. Thanks again.

thought i woudl mention that the basic plastic special $3.00 worked again using more patients than usual and not marks

if you google "Watch Band Link Pin Pusher Strap Remover" it will bring up a dozen

was it the same modder in Piccadilly circus that change the lume to the white? Ive been looking for somewhere in London to get it done and its been the only reason i haven't pulled the trigger on this watch

Just a quick question regarding QC pics. I noticed that there are some space in between the 12 hour marker and some have not. Is this normal? Thanks.

Even the gen has some space between the two markers at 12. Yours looks good.

Based from what i read and comparing it to gen via pictures from the web, i think it still has the incorrect font size.

You are welcome. If the date wheel font bothers you, please consider the improved date wheel that RWI members are working on for this particular watch. Congrats in advance.
