Seem to be the watch indeed.... FYI the interesting watch base to build a very convincing 5712 is the PPF V2....

New PPF 5712 with PP240 Super Clone.....
- Thread starter dharma
- Start date
No idea on this particular point, but the case shape of the V1 is wrong IMO, and certainly not the right base to start from if you want to have a convincing 5712 without spending too much in mods...
The dial much lighter than Gen, the crown, case, lugs still off. Better engraving movement but with still wrong jewels and screw positions.
Its no rocket science! V1 center pins are way more closer to gen.
Yeah I never refuted it being closer, still looks bad.
Heres a gen
You will not get anywhere close to this with the V1
Both are looking shit tbh and have to get modded ...
This is something already discussed somewhere else, but on the V2 when proceeding to the right mod, IMO, it looks nicer than gen ;-)

Your build looks incredible mate, wear in good health! One more question if you don’t mind; how long was your wait before he took the order? Are you saying all contact started in November? Was hearing ramblings his wait was like 6+ months so just curious
Thank you very much mate! I asked him a few days before about prices and delivery time,
I placed the order on November 28 and he told me that it would be at the end of January, and it was ready for February 3,
2 months in total, I see a more than correct deadline for the workload he must have, very happy indeed!
Wow, that's looks amazing. Incredible build. @Spongebob is the master. Nothing come close to his work. 2 months waiting for this work is nothing, Lucky you. Wear it in good health.Here is a full construction of the great @Spongebob !!

a keeper....
Can PPF not just make it like this from the beginning?
Obviously its possible.
This is market demand. Hopefully someone at PPF is reading this forum.
