When I first read this, I had it in my mind to tell you that you'd been smoking crack and that you're wrong, but after staring at the watch for a while, I think you're actually right LOL. Hour markers 6 and 8 might really be a hair wider than the others. However, I promise this is no reason not to buy the watch and unless you spend your days just staring at the watch, it will bother you not one bit :)

Looks beautiful, well wear Sir.

So it was 100% worth the premium price?

For some reason I have a mental block above the $500 pricepoint for a rep, but the more pictures people post in this thread, the more I think I'm losing the argument with myself :)

Enjoy!!

I don’t find the price point crazy. NOOB Daytona’s with 4130 movement and working chronos and subdials run $688, and those need to be modded additionally, typically by swapping bezel and dial, and clasp with ARF, bringing total roughly $1000 for a wearable specimen. This needs little to nothing done, has a perfectly working actual moonphase, and subdial rotating date indicator. The wandering power reserve meter has a charm of its own as it’s not static. Haven’t exactly figured out what it indicates yet, but that’s part of the charm, and I never use that complication anyways. So if we compare top of the line PP 5712 rep to Rolex Daytona, 5712 saves a bundle and it’s ootb. So the comparison isn’t exactly apples to oranges but I have both and I’m now going through gathering the parts to mod my Daytona, and I’m far happier with the 5712

And I openly admitted that the 5712 was probably overpriced by about $150, but not once since receiving it and wearing have I thought about price. So that seems good value to me, but still may not to others. But I have no regrets

You've convinced me with your apples/oranges comparison, so I want to say thank you, my wallet curses you though:)

With the pubs closed, nada else to do but email my TD right now, shes gonna hate me annoying her on a Saturday night.

Thanks again for the insight & look forward to your review.

Moon phase works if I click the pusher on the right side but doesn’t seem to move to stars after 7pm

Isn’t it supposed to move once a day each time after 12AM midnight ? Moving to stars during the day is how a day /night indicator works, or am I mistaken?
