My TD in Vietnam has this Version with leather bands and true/moissanite diamonds
I’m not sure about the offset Tiffany stamp - it kinda Ruins the balance on an already busy dial (personal opinion). It does look like an after thought, printed on the only remaining real estate left of the dial.
Bevelling the markers and hands will look awesome tho.
Are you able to share the rough ball park cost for the mod? It’ll save us all PM’ing the bloke with the same question.

I'm making this post regarding the moonphase pusher.
Initially I thought that mine was spoilt, but later I realised it was because I had been using it the wrong way.
Not knowing better, I had jabbed the moonphase pusher like I did to the date pusher, hoping that the moonphase disc would advance. And when it didn't, I concluded that the mechanism was spoilt.
Later on, I discovered that after the movement had run for a bit, I would press the moonphase pusher and have the moonphase disc advance. Then I wait for about 3 seconds and press again, and the moonphase disc advances once more. Repeating this process, I was able to get the moonphase disc to make an entire turn.
So I think that the moonphase pusher mechanism is totally different from the date pusher mechanism. Instead of instantaneous advancement, the moonphase pusher just "submits" a request to the movement to advance the moonphase disc. And as with all requests, there is some delay. As long as this delay is abided by, the moonphase pusher will work as intended.
I am now happily enjoying my 5712 and I think I might wear it more often than my Rolexes!
I fixed my Decoration that fell off. It was pretty easy but I have a Shakey hands lol.

Thank you I am a total noob when it comes to watch repair.well done Pip! you did it!
Mine does not work like this. One press and the moonphase advances normally and instantly.
Ummm...no. Mi moon phase advances normally one position when you press the pusher repeatedly. Set it up once, but never took notice of it again, though.
Pressing the pusher quickly and repeatedly as if you were setting the date seems to jam the moonphase. What was I saying is, if you press the pusher slowly and gently, it will advance 1 position with each push alright.
But you got to wait about 3 seconds between each press
i think its not the case for all of the movements but good advice to follow anyway. The movement in this thing is beyond finnicky
So actually, yes, the cost of this watch is more than just US$688 because you have to get the movement serviced in order to be able to use it for the long term.
Without a service, I expect that the movement would present with funny issues within a few months. YMMV though, I cannot speak for every production of this watch/movement.
Do you know a good modder in CONUS?This is the type of watch where you wait for a V2 or V3.
