Yes, today I checked the daytona and the 5711 they look exactly identical in dimensions but the 5711 looks much bigger on the wrist, if I remember correctly from when I was trying to order a daytona on oysterflex my wrist was about 16.5-17cm(about 6.49inch) so it shoul be enough for the 5711 but at the first moment when i put it on yesterday I was a bit shocked
Small wrist --> First link mod ;-)
Nothing was done to it, but I just wanted to get the rg one. Yesterday my friend saw it and liked it so much that he took it off of my hands.
At the moment from the reps I have a daytona panda, rootbeer and a platona baguet on the way. I am thinking for something a little bit dressier like the rg 5711 or some datejust 36mm two tone. I wanted to get a day-date but unfortunately no good replica of it so this is still a dilema for me. I am open to all proposals
Consider the Audemars Piguet 15450. It has a diameter of 37mm but it wears big on the wrist because of the long lug to lug dimension.I am open to all proposals
Yes I really do consider it, even I saw one tt plated from flandad and one day-date gmf tt plated from flandad again and a vsf datejust 36mm. All 3 of them look very very good, I just have a few things that bother me one js that i am in the EU and if there are problems with the customs it 780$ down the drain and the second thing I saw is that a few years back there were some problems with him, so I am not sure which way to go… I would love to buy the watch from ctime from who I always buy(really great Td by the way) and send it to Nikz for plating unfortunately I know he is not doing tt and rg anymore.. so still thinking what to do. By the way do you have any idea how long does a replated watch lasts if you wear it regualrly(1-2) times a week and not 3-4 times a year.Consider the Audemars Piguet 15450.

I am not familiar with flandad, is he a trusted dealer? As far as plated watches, I am not a big fan. They'll eventually wear after time. I have a plated watch and it wearing off near the crown after hand winding. I understand that gold wrapping is better than gold plating because it is thicker and gives a truer colour. But one scratch on either plated or wrapped plating then it is game over for the watch. You may not want to wear it again.
No he is not a trusted watch smith, but it is said that he makes great plating and wrapping on watches with gen like colour. I will have to think a bit more as of what will I do and what will be the next watch but I definitely want to be a dressier gold one but we will see might get the daydate yg and send it to nikz for plating so that the colour will be gen like because I don’t like the colour of the yg plated watches from the factoryI am not familiar with flandad, is he a trusted dealer?

Here is a red gold plated 15450. Yellow gold is also available.
Yes it does. You can choose between non boxed logo (Patek and Geneve written on two lines) and the boxed logo. Just tell your TD which version you want.
I may be picking one of these up in the near future. My research indicates the clone movements are not very reliable, though so I am hesitant.Consider the Audemars Piguet 15450. It has a diameter of 37mm but it wears big on the wrist because of the long lug to lug dimension.
I don't want to derail this thread any further but the clones of the 324 SC (PP) and the 3120 (AP) proved to be solid movements which benefit from a service of course like any other Chinese made movement.
