And people. Here comes the QC from Trustytime today. I have approved them. I can therefore show them.



I think it is a great blue color and the markers are nicely rounded.

Compared to the stock, which have very rounded markers and the dial is more greyish dark:

Yes. I am pretty sure it is a SW dial. And yes, it was 108$ incl shipping.

I am not sure if it is close to gen, as I haven’t seen the sw dial irl yet. I’ve only seen it on pictures. But it seems to me that it looks like the later version gens.

As my friend says: “For money, I buy mainly experience.”

Sorry for your loss, buddy, hopefully it will prevent someone else on doing the same.

That's heaps and bounds cheaper than a buff dial...

What are you gonna do about the moonphase?

The thing is with the moonphase. There is another member her on RWI who offered to sell his stock moonphase disk to me. But i'm waiting for @Keylog74 to release his custom one. Because it will be better than the stock. So i decided to wait.

After everything , you certainly deserve a perfect piece.

Hope they’ll do the 5990 soon
Thanks buddy!

You can always hope. But more likely they will do the 5726 in clone. Because they can use that movement also in the 5396 series and with some modifications to the 5205 series also.

But let’s see. Any Patek clone movement rep is very welcome.

5726 is one of my favorites.

I’m clueless about movements. So 5712 and 5726 havevery similar movements despite different complications?

No. They are very different. What I meant was that if they made a clone movement for the 5726 they could use it in other annual calendar reps. They would have to make it from scratch.

Although TT now seems to be unable (or unwilling) to source the SW dial as per a few members in this thread.

Can I ask where you ordered it from? I have the impression that most of these ‘300$ ones’ were bought from non-TDs.

Not a TD, just PM'd u :) but i know some members got it for 300 both from TD and non TD's
