New 5712 rep?

[grillbrill]

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.

I know two super talented watchmakers (not modders) who might fix your clasp. However they are located in Hungary and don't work fast due to their heavy workload.

Oh man, thank you so much! I think I'll give this a try. This could be a good path out of the predicament I'm in.

It will fix your issue im sure. no need for a expensive replacement clasp as your rivet simply was faulty.

Thank god for the work-from-home program. The lost pin was found by my trusty robot vacuum. Now, I managed to secured it....." for now"..

My bracelet is great it's very sturdy. I have the PPF 5712 version.

A 5711 bracelet won’t fit, sadly. I also find the 5711 one being much better in quality than this 5712 release, on both PPF and ZF versions (which appear to be the exact same to me)

same thing happened to mine,got a 1.2mm friction pin and hammered it in.seems a lot better now and only cost me £2 for the pin

The 5712 green/ppf looks , dial details , photos are amazing , but they gotta upgrade the bracelet for sure!

The gen 5712 is kinda dainty and fragile feeling. Would you describe it as that or just plain cheap and tinny feeling?

I mean compared to modern rolex and omega most bracelets feel a little dainty.

On a side note, are any of you owners bothered by the small-ish moonphase disc? Could just be macro shots throwing me off, cant wait to receive mine

Patek bracelets have always felt this way. Even gen feels dainty and not solid.

Well after a good wind and a few good hard taps against the palm of my hand, the watch seems to the running now and keeping good time, I guess something may have been caught in the balance or in the movement somewhere. See how long it lasts, will likely still go off for a service somewhere.

The moonphase disk looks great!

Well i tried the gen 5711 and 5980 , definitely another story. It sits on wrist perfectly and well justified , clasp is solid and 3D engravings are above and beyond. I am not seeking gen quality of course . However, since they made a great looking dial and case , there is definitely a huge potential for a better finished bracelet and clasp.
