New PPF 5712 with PP240 Super Clone.....
- Thread starter dharma
- Start date
for a lot of folks who look at every detail on a rep, look at the gen.
they messed up the indices at 2. It's the wrong one and that's on a $55K gen (at retail). shows nothing is perfect and no one is probably carrying a loupe to look at the dust on your hands of your rep.
that said wish they'd fix the moonphase colour OOTB

Hey everyone- something cool today. I had purchased a gen moonphase about a year ago now, and I was actually one of the people who got one still with a gear attached to it, things happened and unfortunately mine received some heavy paint damage (due to my own hubris) which Major actually was able to fix decently well (pics below).
This is before
And after some painting to make it look 100 times better
This past week I managed to find ANOTHER gen moonphase, however this time it had a (I couldn't believe it) gen caliber 240 gear with it
And today I did the swap over from the old slightly damaged and repaired one to the stunning new one and a gen 240 moonphase gear.
This is the old one
And the beatiful new one and the moonphase gear
A pretty minor upgrade (considering I already had a gen moonphase) but I had to jump at the chance of the 240 moonphase gear considering I heard it was a drop in replacement.

New moonphase looks fantastic. Well done! It the dial stock PPF or aftermarket?

Agreed, even my original one that was damaged really elevated the overall look and feel

Looks great, how does the PPF hand lume match the SW dial lume? Any reason you didn't go SW hands too?My SpongeBob special - I’ll say it as always, the best modder on RWI, he’s an artist!

AFAIK Spongebob takes the indices from the PPF dial and puts them on the SW dial. You can tell by the 6o'clock and the "more square" like shape but slightly less beveled look than stock SW. Its a pretty nice upgrade considering the SW stock IMO is almost over beveled compared to gen.
Amazing work, congratulations. How long have been waiting for.it ?My SpongeBob special - I’ll say it as always, the best modder on RWI, he’s an artist!
