This watch is just perfect to my eyes.

Slim font it's so close to mine

 

[Mark1937]

do you think this PPF base needs the bezel mod?

 

[daytonadude]

Good question, I don’t think so!

Any guidance here? Looks like the 8 o’clock marker has thin/faulty lume fill, but unsure if I’m being crazy or nitpicky! This is my third round of QC on the SW dial…

It is a very nice color, but i cant unsee the date font

do you mean that the font of the numbers is too fat or the space between the 2 and the 5 at 25 has too much space ?

I think it's OCD , but this will be your dial, not mine.

Qualche guida qui? Sembra che l'indicatore delle 8 abbia un riempimento del lume sottile/difettoso, ma non sono sicuro se sono pazzo o pignolo! Questo è il mio terzo ciclo di QC sul quadrante SW...

It's ok

I know that there are dial with thick and thin fonts. Thats not the issue, the issue is the spacing between the numbers. Its most obvious on 2 5, but all the other numbers are wrong as well, even on the other seconds subdial You can seach all you want, but a gen dial like that does not exist

I know we are really nitpicking here, and some people don't care, they focus only on the color of the dial. I wish my OCD would allow that When i do these build, i want a certain level of perfection, if that's not possible i go gen That's why most of my builds have gen dials Its not always rational, but hey, i'm here to please no one but myself

The spacing and the font is wrong

I wouldn't worry too much about that, if you can live with the lumeplot at 6 having the wrong shape. (Top is supposed to be square, not at an angle )

I think you should go gen dial then, I saw one in M2M a few weeks ago

 

[2841]

Here is a thin font gen vs the SW2, yes we are nitpicking, but that is kinda what we do here. Font is wrong, spacing is wrong, lumeplot at 6 is wrong, period.

will you see it on the wrist, no. Will anyone besides you give a shit, no So if you can live with it or not, it’s up to you I will wait for another option, or go gen. No point for me to spent a lot of money on a build, with flaws that would annoy me

He took it down no interest. There’s actually several on c24 atm and a couple more on ebay but pricing of a 5712 blue dial is honestly stupid. This is my favorite watch ever but there’s no reason for these dials to be worth more than a couple-few grand, not the current asking of 4-8k that’s insane

Agreed - I’d do 1-2k for a gen, but at $7-10k I can live with hair wrong font thickness and the 6 marker. Having a few gen Patek’s, there’s a bit of variation already amongst them

but are the PPF indices better (especially at 6 o'clock) than the SW indices?

Some gen have curved indices like SW and others have straight edges like PPF. If you wanted to fix the 6 o clock marker issue, you could swap the indices. But still the date font issue would be present.

Why not just buy a v1 and take the dial out at this point? Were there significant flaws on it?
