New 5712 rep?

[grillbrill]

legend has already thinned the case (he has posted pics before). Crown can also be fixed by modders. In real life, crown is not an issue at all. You can barely even see it protruding a bit more at wrist distance (that is the least of my problems with this watch)

Thanks, I found legend's post. I can hardly believe this watch can be thinned down to 9.1 mm. :dribble:

Mine arrived today, ZF tags and plastic sealed bag







will take more photos once sized and under sunlight

Problem número uno, looks like it’s struggling to hold any power at all, wound the watch quite a lot and given it a fair few shakes to see if the micro rotor spins ( it doesn’t ) just given it another good manual wind see how it fairs

Had the same problem. Issue was that one movement deco plate was completely loose (the one with the lacking jewel) and thus the rotor could not turn around.

I’ve wound it fully again as if it were a manual wind watch and gently but firmly tapped it into the palm of my other hand which forced the rotor to sun freely a good bit, wearing it again now see what happens, may need to be sent off for a service

Unfortunately it's a common problem with watches assembled with Chinese microrotor movements under improper quality control.

yeah makes sense, but would expect maybe a strict manual winding to keep the watch going. Will have to get the watch serviced

I have the PPF batch (probably doesn’t matter) but my rotor is too sensitive, a slight movement of wrist starts the spin. I am thinking about servicing it too

Right but does the watch stop or does it actually charge ? My guess would mean the different batches do make a difference, each factory down the line will cut corners to reduce the build costs.

Mine does spin, but not smooth enough to power it solely based on wrist movement. A manual wind though solves the problem,PR was 50+ hrs with manual winding.

Anybody in CONUS that would service this moment?

It would be suspicious if the rotor was spinning at the same speed towards both directions. However, if your fully unwound watch stars running after some shakes then the autowinding may work fine. Obviously the ultimate autowindig test would be wearing the watch or rotating it on a winder for a couple of days without manual winding.

With a manual full wind, I get 2 days of PR. I wore it on 4 consecutive days (about 4 hrs each day) and the watch kept running until wearing it next day. If I don’t manually wind it initially, it doesn’t have enough juice to run for 24 hrs with wrist movement initiated rotor spins only.As a good practice, I always wind a watch quickly before putting in wrist

Yeah me too, wound it to the point my fingers were aggravated, ran for a few minutes then died, so must be a problem with the movement

It's too bad from a brand new watch after so much anticipation.

After a few years buying reps you get used to it, part of the anticipation of getting the package is whether it’s dead or not haha, but this is only the second time in a few years so not a bad record

Just received mine yesterday, can't comment on the power reserve yet, nor how efficient the micro rotor is, but thankfully mine is holding a wind and is running with a healthy amplitude. I did immediately last night, swap the clasp around to the correct orientation. And open up the front of the case to adjust some hair crooked indices that bothered me.

Looks good , too bad I’m still waiting for my QC..

Anyone happen to have a PPF or PF 5712/5711 clasp they would be willing to part with? My PPF/Green Maker 5712 arrived and the clasp immediately disintegrated. Needless to say I am very disappointed. It's a stunning watch, but now I can't even wear it after waiting forever for it to arrive.

Already tried to work out a replacement clasp with the TD but they say I will need to wait a very long time for a replacement part because of the current situation with the rep industry in China. I'd rather just buy a spare off of someone from our community.

Let me know, thanks. I'd be super grateful.
