New 5712 rep?

[Chungy85]

PPF 5712 still the way to go?

Sorry for my ignorance but the 5712 rep has a regular snap back case, hasn't it? I mean can the case back be removed without disassembling the case?

Yes, I popped off the case with ease without dismantling the case.

Sorry bro, I missed the hands in the picture.
Looks like a promising set. Can you ask for more pics? Hopefully the hour markers are rounded/polished ?

No worries bro. Those are gen parts

 

[mech500]

Ahh shoot. Forget gen. Thought they were rep (eg Buff). Haha

Hands are on the plastic grey parts on the side of the pictures in the plastic bag.

Do you think gen dial fits rep movement?

Gen, most of them also send the authentic parts to a independent center in Shanghai called Skyfish horologe inspection center,.there they do legit check and guarantee the authenticity .

Rep has:

- bluer dial
- fatter 6 and 8 o'clock markers
- sunken moon disc
- uneven minute dots
- protruding crown
- fake power reserve
- slightly fatter bezel
- worse finishing of the case, the markers, the hands and the bracelet
- less flexible bracelet
- non clone movement with glued decor plates

im new to the PP reps but if it’s a fake power reserve, how exactly does it run on the rep? Does it actually move, and if yes, how exactly ? Or is it just stuck in one place?

The PR indicator is a 12 hour indicator, it moves from charged to discharged every 12 hours.

thanks. Is the movement a Modified miiyota 9015? do the glued deco plates last long? In short is it a reliable movement or is it prone to breakdowns?

I usually stick to time date only movements in rep watches as they are robust and are not prone to breakdowns. So asking in regards to that

Afaik the movement is a modified Hangzhou 5000A: https://watch-movements.eu/blog/2021/08/01/mikrorotor-auf-chinesische-art-hangzhou-5000a/
It's a quite new movement used in gen and rep watches and I don't know how robust it is. I own three watches (2 Patek reps and the Sólás Starlight) equipped with it and they are working fine. However I wear them only casually.
