I took mine to my local watch dude he had to break out the hammer to get the pins out. It cost me 15 bucks but he did it perfectly without scratching the watch worth the price if you ask me. He was also amazed by the quality of this watch.

I don’t think this will do it. I got the one where you hammer it out. The head is the same like your picture but you apply more force using a hammer by keeping the bracelet on the plastic base. I got this one and changed links on 4+ bracelets with no issues:

Mine is landing with me tomorrow guys, will put some pics on when it's here!
This model is mostly on back-order due to low output and high demand.., which means the TD can order for you and waiting time is 3-5 weeks average, but no TD has it ‘in stock’ for immediate delivery.

had the watch 3 weeks and the friction pin on the flip lock has broke already which has put a downer on an otherwise nice watch.
I think its happened to a few PPF 5711 owners too.anyone have any idea of the dimensions of the pin I need to replace it or am I looking at another bracelet?

Hey all,
Hope we are all well, and that those waiting for their pieces get QCs soon! Odd that I ordered through PT 2 weeks ago and they just issued my QC.
I have a question on figuring out with Factory the watch comes from. I have a written confirmation from PT team that the watch was supplied by PPF, but keeping track on some of the conversation here is that ZF have been a provider for their original Green Factory orders?

I’m guessing that your one hasn’t got a ZF tag on it? Hence why it’s classed as PPF....although it’s more than likely that both later PPF and ZF watches are indeed the same
The recent ones all have ZF tags. Who’s knows if ZF was the provider for the original GF. It’s probably academic.

I have this one, the pins on this 5712 is way too strong, I still ended up visiting the local watchsmith to resize it.

As other said, if there’s no ZF tag, most likely a PPF.

I got same tool as Srhoque posted, much easier to resize bracelets with the hammer & bracelet holder seperately.
Resized mine within 10’ with the toolkit and hammer.

Thanks for the advices on the resizing issues.
Anyone that order the 5712, remember to check on the clasp part and make sure the screw on the clasp both side are there.
I received mine from trusty but one of the screw that secure the clasp is missing, email to the TD but he say I confirmed the QC pic and when check back, the QC pic angle hide away on the missing screw part which I was not aware about and the TD tell me that I need to either pay for a new clasp or a new bracelet.
So, everyone kindly check the clasp part when receiving your QC pic.

I think you could let MODS know these and hopefully they will proceede to "suggest" TD to fix the issue at their expenses.
This sounds like a scam.
All these rumors, and these lack of transparency aside from raids, really put me off.
I know we are talking about Replica business, but when I entered this "hobby", about 1-2 years ago, TD really seemed to care about their reputation.
It no longer looks this way (even before raids).
Thanks for sharing those pics TonySoprano1
Looks awesome, congrats and well wear :thumbsup:
Just wondering on functionality if you don't mind me asking.
Is it working as reported here previously, or any difference with the one you finally received.
Happy with it?
