I'm seeing the 5712 with PPF V3 240 clone movement with what appears to be laser print movement (not engraved). Am I wrong? I was really hoping for the engraved 240 clone which PPF V2 had - but not the V3?

It’s essentially the same as V2, I’ve seen one already. Dial is VERY marginally better, still no where near the sw/buff/etc. other than that still same shitty mp color, and everything else

Mine (v2) is with my watchmaker for a service and @Keylog74 moon disk upgrade. Just received an email with this comment regarding the movement:

« Ive stripped the movement now and its just going through the parts washer as we speak. Unfortunately, I have found some wear on the sliding pinion in the keyless. Its not too bad at present, but I think eventually this will fail.

the wear is most likely due to the pinion itself not being "case hardened" to the degree it needs to be »

Just for other owners to be aware
Could any other members report on their movements servicing and if they have this problem also? Wear and tear on the sliding pinion (keyless)?

If this is a wide spread problem we might need an aftermarket upgrade….

I got one yesterday, still debating with myself if i wanna start a 5712 build. The lack of a good dial at the moment is frustrating :)

whats the flaw?
The distance between the numbers is very off. Look at 25, and look at the distance between 2&5. Overall all the date numbers are the wrong size, and the overall print is bad. Its a shame, because it has a very nice color. Maybe v3 they will get it right :)
