Thanks for sharing, my immediate feedbacks are:
  1. Indices - the edges are too sharp
  2. The pinion on the PR is way too big

Very nice! What's the pricing like for this watch. Also wondering if they have Tiffany stamped dials...

More pictures and video on AMO/biao:


It’s the typical case of two steps forward, two steps backward in rep evolution. The PR pinion looks even worse in the Biao pics. The 12 o’clock and 6 o’clock markers look a bit crooked. The moon disc looks good, but hard to tell whether it’s a bit low in the window, or if there’s some sort of curvature to the disc.

On the plus side, the moon disc color is improved, and if it’s actual ceramic as advertised, that’s a step closer to gen. The dial color seems alright to my eyes at least. The engraving on the back looks decent.

I suppose IF you get a good version in QC with dial markers aligned, the only downside from the PPF release is the weird pinion mod. I’d take that over needing to replace the moon disc if I wanted something that was wearable without paying for additional mods. From the video, the pinion doesn’t seem that noticeable at arms’ length. But if their dealer release has such alignment issues, you’d probably have to go through several QC rounds to get a good dial, if at all.

Is the bezel also different to ppf or is only the mid case custom?

Hope they'll do a 5711 soon at a lower price. Less stuff to get wrong on that one as well.
