Hey guys,
So this just came in - a 5711R from MP Factory sourced through Toro. I bought it used but basically brand new condition. It was originally bought two months ago from Toro so I think it's a relatively new product. There are some interesting notes as I have never heard of MP factory until the seller told me about it.
Overall Construction
-Great, not quite as good as the excellent build quality of the SW200 but I think its better than BP. Why? Because the bracelet doesn't rattle like my BP V2.
Case
-Decorated movement plate looks amazing!
-Surprisingly the same thickness as my SW200 - I don't have a method of measuring but its definitely thinner than my BP V2 with deco plates and is very similar of the same as my S200 (pics below)
Dial
-Beautiful dial
-Has the reflective quality like the GEN
-Not sure on the accuracy of the sizing, etc, but the print on the font is good
-Color is accurate
-Nice markers and hands, good print on the DW
Crystal
-Nice and clear, same quality as SW200 and BP V2
Bracelet
-My biggest issue lies in the bracelet
-The first link is too large
-First link lifts up a little from the bracelet depending on your wrist size (my wrist is small so the bracelet drops quickly after the watch head and there is a gap on the bracelet's first center link - it's not terrible and I don't think it's that noticeable but it's there and it shouldn't be there.
Gold Plating
-Really nice color
-Looks accurate when I compared to online photos
-Not sure how well it'll hold up but I baby my watches and will update this over time.
I have taken photos of it against my 3 other Pateks
Rose Gold Patek 5167R (BP V3 with decorated movement)
Stainless Patek 5711/1A (BP V2 with decorated movement)
Stainless Patek 5711G ( SW200 Factory - supposed to be white gold) Gray Dial
