A very well known modder is currently creating this Tiffany version of a PPF 5712 for me - work includes:

Trim the crown to gen shape

Recess crown

Bevel dial markers

Bevel hands

Fix the moon phase gap

First endlink flexible

Tiffany logo stamp

Here's the gen:

I'd recommend a movement service as well given the micro rotor movement

My TD in Vietnam has this Version with leather bands and true/moissanite diamonds

Floyd Mayweather would be proud wearing that

I’m not sure about the offset Tiffany stamp - it kinda Ruins the balance on an already busy dial (personal opinion). It does look like an after thought, printed on the only remaining real estate left of the dial.

Bevelling the markers and hands will look awesome tho.

Are you able to share the rough ball park cost for the mod? It’ll save us all PM’ing the bloke with the same question.

It's hardly the only remaining piece of real estate on the dial, but of course you are entitled to your personal opinion. Ball park costs for the watch together with all the mods listed comes in around $1250

I'm making this post regarding the moonphase pusher.

Initially I thought that mine was spoilt, but later I realised it was because I had been using it the wrong way.

Not knowing better, I had jabbed the moonphase pusher like I did to the date pusher, hoping that the moonphase disc would advance. And when it didn't, I concluded that the mechanism was spoilt.

Later on, I discovered that after the movement had run for a bit, I would press the moonphase pusher and have the moonphase disc advance. Then I wait for about 3 seconds and press again, and the moonphase disc advances once more. Repeating this process, I was able to get the moonphase disc to make an entire turn.

So I think that the moonphase pusher mechanism is totally different from the date pusher mechanism. Instead of instantaneous advancement, the moonphase pusher just "submits" a request to the movement to advance the moonphase disc. And as with all requests, there is some delay. As long as this delay is abided by, the moonphase pusher will work as intended.

I am now happily enjoying my 5712 and I think I might wear it more often than my Rolexes!

Ummm...no. Mi moon phase advances normally one position when you press the pusher repeatedly. Set it up once, but never took notice of it again, though.

I fixed my Decoration that fell off. It was pretty easy but I have a Shakey hands lol.

Mine does not work like this. One press and the moonphase advances normally and instantly.

If you jab the pusher quickly multiple times, does the moonphase also advance with each jab?

Pressing the pusher quickly and repeatedly as if you were setting the date seems to jam the moonphase. What was I saying is, if you press the pusher slowly and gently, it will advance 1 position with each push alright.

But you got to wait about 3 seconds between each press

i think its not the case for all of the movements but good advice to follow anyway. The movement in this thing is beyond finnicky

 

[jkrw247]

I will add, if your moonphase pusher does become stuck or jammed and fails to advance the moonphase disc, pull out the crown to the time-setting position and push it back in again.

Somehow this seems to reset the gears and solve the blockage most of the time.

So actually, yes, the cost of this watch is more than just US$688 because you have to get the movement serviced in order to be able to use it for the long term.

Without a service, I expect that the movement would present with funny issues within a few months. YMMV though, I cannot speak for every production of this watch/movement.

I got the first release the Green Marker back in April 2021 the movement is a powerhouse it lasts 48 hours on a full wind without wearing and the time is very accurate.

This is the type of watch where you wait for a V2 or V3.

Do you know a good modder in CONUS?
