The butterfly clasps are a nice improvement over the previous ones 👍

Rep marketing is rep marketing, not exactly known for being the most trustworthy haha

I'm just reporting on what I see and what I was told by dealer

Also unrelated, PPF v1 version with non clone movement is having an insane sale right now. If you saw Hont's telegram you would know, they're selling for $350 USD right now. A very very good pickup if you want to try the 5712. PPF/ZF is clearing stock apparently. And PPF v1 still has the best blue out of all the stock 5712 replicas.

After reading many posts on the 5712, am I correct in thinking that the PPF V2 - with SS bracelet A240 super clone V2 (with engraved movement, not laser like the leather bracelet V2) - is the more than good enough out-of-the-box without custom mods at around $740? Thanks in advance for letting me know if my thinking is correct.

There are no PPF v2 stock with an "engraved" movement. If you mean the 5712 with a engraved plate mod, then sure, it depends on what you want. In my eyes the engraved plate is kind of middling at best because it doesn't look anything like gen and noone will know it when you're wearing on wrist so you're spending $300 on something that's mildly useless

In my eyes, the only two mods that are 100% necessary

- Moonphase change, I forgot which modding factory but you want the one that isn't a sticker but a true moonphase 3D
- Full service for 5712 movement. 100% for a complicated movement it needs a service if you want to ensure longetivity.

But these are my opinions.

I’m trying to compare ZF and PPF. I don’t see any ZF threads, so I’m assuming PPF is better? New to Patek, I feel like 5711 is simple and classy.

ZF and ppf are the same
As if there had been a difference in the color of the canon pinion or in the red dots of the dial between the first ZF and the later PPF versions but I might not remember correctly.

That v4 ppf on intime06 looks tempting with the Moon phase tool with it for a good price.
Outta of the box i might get it

Fun fact. The gen tool is made out of white gold tips so that it doesn't damage/scratch the steel 5712 case. Obviously rep is steel lol.

Do you guys think its worth to get some case mod? Maybe even a new cnc case if this is available?
I have been out of the rep community for a while because i had a lot to do and i have seen some new interesting stuff. Like a crystal moonphase? Could someone maybe explain real quick what came out and is worth?

I currently have the sw v3 dial and hands with some factory i forgot moonphase. Pinion caps, and some small case rebrush and endlink mod.
