What happen to my PPF 5711, What I just found out and How I DIY Fix Ceramic Ball problem?
1/ WHAT HAPPEN TO MY NEW PPF 5711 Receive
I then contact my Dealer and they said I should wind it manually 30-40 times and tap it to make it run, I tried but the problem still the same.
Then I decide I could not return it to them for reparing after a long wait so I decide to come up with local watchmaker and he did a good job of fixing it, very quickly and cost me about 10$.
2/ What I just found out?
I know it seem normal to people who know very well about decorated miyota 9015, but for me it is a very shock moment. Seen the watchsmith took it off very easily…
3/ How I DIY Fix Ceramic Ball
Now come to the main point, how to fix the ceramic ball…The biggest problem of the PPF 5711 up until now, which are clearly not a good experience for everyone.
Thank to Glaude, I decide to fix it by Epoxy
I ordered this at the day the watch came in, within 1 hour ship to my house and cost me only $3 USD total
Here is it:
2 paste A+B (BLACK AND WHITE COLOUR)
STICK OUT GLUE FROM EACH BOX, MIX IT UNTIL THE COLOUR EVEN
USE A SMALL TOOTHSTICK (Since the ceramic ball is very small)
Do it, try to put it only on the edge/rear area of the ceramic, not the top of it! Since you do not want the claps glue to it too…
Wrap it with the Cloth for 1hour and wait! Remember to use Loope !
I will wait to see the result, and update for you guys after 1 week to see if the ceramic ball still stay with the bracelet or not !!!
Thank you a lot for reading
1/ WHAT HAPPEN TO MY NEW PPF 5711 Receive
- Just receive my PPF 5711 From a very well know TD (but not TD here anymore). From the beginning everything is just fine, I’m actually happy because it is one of the most Aligned (Marker/DW) example I have seen on QC…

2/ What I just found out?
- Since I bring it to watchsmiths I have chance to actually see him taken part of the movements out ìn-front of my eyes. And what make me VERY SURPRISE IS THAT THE BIG SCREW on the ROTOR is not screw in but actually glue/stick to the movement by Double sided tape. (I forgot to take photo) - this screw in screen is not really screw in
