Very interesting. My non-TD WeChat seller has quoted me $950 for a fully modded 3KF 5711 with buff dial, buff hands, buff date wheel, and polished first link (for better flexibility / range of motion of the bracelet). I paid today and should have QC in a week or so before he ships it out.

This is the same WeChat seller who made me a buff meteorite dial Daytona and is making me a buff dial Diamond ice-blue platinum Daytona.

My WeChat guy is pretty good about getting me a good deal on buff parts, so I’m surprised to see a nautilus with the same mods offered at $780… my guess is that the watch offered might not include the buff dial.

Bottom pic is the stock 3KF watch, top pic is the 3KF with all buff mods:

I’m not sure. Also, what’s a non-boxed logo dial?

Edit: found the answer 1 page back on boxes vs. non boxed.

But still unsure when buff started doing non boxed.

I've asked my WeChat seller, so let's see what he comes back with. I'm actually more partial to the boxed-logo version myself.

his response was that buff made one batch of non-boxed-logo dials a long time ago and that’s where his pic was from. Honestly I think he’s just being a bit sketchy (par for the course with WeChat sellers). Here’s to hoping I don’t get ripped off. 🍻

I think it is not the same watch, on top it looks like a PF case base, while on bottom a stock 3kf...

Yeah, it turns out my WeChat guy was just randomly searching for pics to show me and he messed up which ones he sent. He subsequently sent me a video of a buff modified 3KF that looked correct (boxed logo, 3D date font, etc). But I'm buying on WeChat, I don't really know what I'm gonna get until I open the package that gets delivered. I can only hope I don't get scammed. So far my guy has done well by me, but we'll see what arrives in the mail.

you might also consider AMF as they do a one stop service and they are recommended here as a trusted seller/modder....

Thanks for the reminder. I should have remembered that AMF was a trusted modder here. I’ll ping AMF for my next project I think.

Can you pm me your wechat seller info. I would like to order 5711 with buff mod as well. Thanks
