Anyone else just ordered a 5712 and is experiencing long waiting times? Ordered mine 1 month ago, the dealer said factories are afraid to ship watches right now because a lot of people got arrested and the market is strict. Is that true?

There's still people not going through our TDs and then wondering why they didn't get their watches
The TDs are garbage, almost all of them. So many after sale problems. The dealer has many reviews and I’m confident with it. I mean if i get scammed, it was by a guy who deserved it lol. He’s still answering all my questions, exceptional service. I’m not worried about not getting my watch, just was wondering if other people have delays too.There's still people not going through our TDs and then wondering why they didn't get their watches

That’s the problem buddy. They keep answering for months. Taking other people’s money too. Everything seems legit.
Even make you spread the word. They keep posting on their account (photos taken from other accounts), some will even send the same QC to different people. Suddenly radio silence. It’s a common scam.
Hear it from someone who experienced it first hand unfortunatel with a WeChat dealer.
Lost almost 300$. First time and last time…
Ordered this model from a TD about three weeks ago. QC a few days later. received and so far better than I expected. so far no dancing issues on minute hand
Eric from Geektime? Over the past few years, I have ordered 50+ watches from Eric with ZERO issues. He isn't a TD here because he had issues with leadership when he first joined, as he didn't want to share confidential info. Eric is a TD on every other site.I guess it’s Eric
If you follow the reddit thread you’ll understand his situation at this time.
I personally had some issues with him, sometime liying when charging you more for a service he simply doesn’t provide.
Don’t saying you’re not going to get your watch, but TD are TD for some reasons.
Yeah, sorry I don't follow Reddit for anything, lol. I think I have 1 post on there from 7 years ago lol. In all of my time dealing with him though, I never had an issue with him so I am not sure of his current situation. Not sure of what service he would charge extra for but ALL TDs charge more than they should for the reliability factor.

"f it's a tolerance issue on a fitting like a pinion, then you should be able to use a staking set to narrow the diameter of whatever it fits using a round faced solid punch and then just ream it back out to the correct diameter. Watchmakers repair things like barrel arbors using this process all the time." with regards to fixing the dancing minute hands

Looks a tad too much grey and not enough blueLatest SW dial which is bluish/greenish grey in real life. I like the color of my good old v1 dial much more.
Yes, maybe. We'll see what the Buff dial will be like. Interestingly, I can see purple tint in the SW dial under an artificial (LED like) lighting:
