5726/1A by GRF

Let’s hope it is wrong, especially the diameter. Thickness at 12mm is acceptable (gen is 11mm), but watch should be 40.5mm

It is 40.5mm*11mm according to this comparison to 5711. Looks really good.

Just for my understanding, hours, minute, seconde, date and night/day work. Day and month have to be adjusted via side buttons.
Sundial hand @6 is for what exactly?

Day, date are both working, only month needed to be adjusted every month. @6 is 24h indicator, 10pm points to 22 and 10 am points to 10 as you can see in the video.
Another noticeable thing is the Month Day box is still not okay but better than GRF in terms of height..and the other one is the whole dial itself, what I mean is the lines. It's not proportion when you put it side by side in a gen.
I'll go for a GRF as the only wrong (IMHO) that I cared about is the MONTH DAY box *height* but the finished is better than PF

The day and month window on the PF is not close to gen because of the materials they used. There should be a silver frame like the GRF. Quite frankly I'm very surprised PF would release this model like this. I have the GRF with grey dial and it is amazing quality. I realize this is a thread for the GRF 5726 so perhaps we should start a thread for the PF 5726?
Also one positive note about the PF, on the sides of the case they centered the pusher inserts which is how the gen is. The GRF pusher inserts are not centered in the middle of the case.
Maybe we need to start thinking about modding the PF and GRF together like we have done with the PF 5711 and the PPF 5711? I would like to see the quality of the PF 5726 for the case and bracelet.
Shall we start a new thread for the PF 5726 guys??

+1 in everything you said. As I inspect closer in the pics, yes the silver frame in PF is way off, its like they just paint it and didn't put any frame at all.
I suggest we name the new thread as COMPARISON BETWEEN PF AND GRF 5726
I agree with you on the name of the thread. We should post pics of both the GRF and PF and gen 5726. For me the GRF is still much closer to gen from the dial perspective. Yes there are flaws like the placement of the day and month window and the magnification of the date window. Also the pusher inserts are not centered on the sides of the case. Those flaws are not that bad for me but the flaw on the PF day and month window is a severe oversight by PF.
It's funny but PF has made great reps in terms of their case sizes and bracelets, for example the PF 5711 has the best case and bracelet but their dials and date wheels are terrible on the 5711. So then we decided to take PF case and put PPF dial and keylog datewheel into PF case thereby making a great rep.
Now we see the same possible outcome with PF 5726, namely that the dial and datewheel are not great but the case appears to be better than the GRF 5726. However I don't think anyone has yet received a PF 5726 so we cannot analyze the case and bracelet construction.
Again perhaps the best way forward with a great 5726 rep would be the PF case and bracelet and the GRF dial and datewheel. That being said I have no negative comments on the GRF bracelet it feels well made and solid. The only thing I don't like is the off centered pusher inserts on the sides of the case.

So, 5726 issue alert!!! Recent GRF 5726 production problems - big time. My dealer from while I’ve bought many pieces over the years is amazing and incredibly honest. He sourced 3 5726s for me over the last few months but the DW on ALL of them (and in some cases the 12 and/or 9 hr markers) were so atrocious he would not sell them to me. I very grateful to him. The most recent had the single dates - 1 to 9 - practically half way outside the left edge of the date window.
Now, I know that we and the factories are lucky to even have production/shipping even taking place given what’s going on in the world. But this has been an issue since the start of this release, pre COVID craziness. Surprised the GRF quality control would let that slide through.
In addition to a bunch of reps, I do own a few gen APs and a gen PP, so no way I can wear something that is this “off”. But I really love this version. At this point I’d deal with misaligned markets if we can sort out the date wheel.
My dealer suggested purchasing another DW, but until it’s installed, there’s no way to tell if it’s any better than the rest.
Are there modders in the US who can assist? Any ideas or suggestions would be very very much appreciated.
Many thanks to all.
