MKF in my opinion while there are also different gen batches that match the PF color...

So the current Blue PF dial is matching Some batches of the gen , no need to swap the dialwith the new DW project +aligning markets is it good enough when you don’t want to go Franken?
You will get the best what you can at the moment if you consider to do so. Without going franken it will be your best bet. And it costs much less than a dial conversion or even franken build.

You should go for the one you prefer. Both these solutions will give you close to gen watches. The blue willbe close but not perfect, while the white will be nice but the datewindow not perfect. So choose the one you like.
How long does the power reserve of the PF 5711 have (in real life)? I know the specs is 35-40 hrs but they're probably quoting the gen?
I just got the PF 5711 blue dial and seems like it's dead after 2 days (with wearing during working hours)

MKF v6 is better than PF version. It has more accurate dial and nicer finish.
PF version blue dial is based on gen secound edition blue dial. Latest gen version (3rd edition) is lighter , less saturated blue almost gray in some light.
PF printing on the blue dial is not bright enough unlike on MKF v6. On gen all printing is extreamly crisp and bright. It really stands out against blue dial even when watch is in half light.
MKF really did excellent job with this dial. I’ve been told that MKF v6 has better finish. However bracelet clasp can be hard to open - I’m not sure if it’s on all MKF v6 reps.
ill get mine and will review.

MK v5 bracelet opens easy and has a smooth motion. PF is much harder to open (IMO). I have both watches. Also, PF bracelet feels flimsy and had jagged edges on mine. While the MK v5 bracelet has a solid and nice feel. Just need to put pressure on the bracelet so it hugs the wrist better. After a while, it sits perfectly on the wrist. I’ve noticed in the photos that the blue dial looks better, as well. I’d be curious to see photos of yours when you receive it.

BlackJaguar thx for your info about the bracelet. do you think when laying the bracelet in WD40 for some days will improve the overall feel??

To the MK or PF bracelet? MK already feels great. So, any additional treatment to the bracelet is just icing. Likely doesn’t need it.
The PF bracelet, on the other, I had to remove the jagged edges with a dremel and then put the braclet in a baby oil bath. It made a world of difference, but the braclet still feels flimsy to me.

Thanks BlackJaguar Yep, ment the MK. But what I learned from you now, is that the MK is OK from the start.
Since I joined RWI I'm lurking everything I can about the PP. First I waited for the V6F if I remember correctly, but that is a never ending story, hahaha
To me now it is clear that the MK v5 or v6 are the best. Thx again

The dial is incredible - does change with different lighting - but not as much as one may expect from how much its talked about

You guys are all giving me lots to think about...I’ve been reading up on the 5711 here trying to see the best choice. Only now more confused lol...looks like MK v6 is way to until reading the above...that comparison to gen and of is very compelling (referring to the dial).
