Is there an alternative to the SW v2 dial. I can not live with the the date numbers.

I know :) I was just about to start a 5712 build adventure, until i saw QC pics of that dial. It's just a no go for me :)
Ugh, I just looked closely at the date print and it is terrible. Well v3 it is then.

Look at the distance between the numbers at for example 29 and 25.... That's not going to fly :)

Unfortunately those numbers are terrible. Look also at the red dot close the number 12 😅

£2-2.2k mark for movement alone

Fully modded 5712
SW dial, hands, moondisc
3 hand pinion cap mod
Flexible first link
Free sprung movement with 22k gold rotor

This would be around £3.5k ~ £4.5k territory depending if re-brushed, serviced, Tiffany stamp, built or parts on its own.

For an 5711 with a custom cnc case it’s sw/buff parts and 324 free sprung with 22k rotor is around the same price range.

Amazing rep 😳 (and price)

Not mine just what they can supply already.

Rep world is now evolving years within months, there are already mega frankens in the gen market as gen watches. There are at least, minimum over 1500 units of 5711 that are cnc’d cases with Calatrava movements and some gen dial some “custom” dials, and I say this because of the guy who was arrested for doing this. Millions sold in watches that had genuine movements but were not genuine 5711s. Problem with the human nature is the greed, did he had to make a “gen” Tiffany Patek and try to sell it for u$1.5mil ? Definitely not, but greed is greed and thankfully he got caught for it.
Now we have free sprung 1:1 clones. I mean, at least 50% of the grey mkt dealers and wannabe dealers won’t freaking know the difference now.

Rep watch world will become the diamond world, problem is in the watch world people will actually loose “gen money” over frankens that are not worth that.

To define it in one word to a gen watch collector
“Scary”
