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.
You probably have the best "value" balance. SW dial, hands, moonphase, and done..... max you need is also a service

CNC case mod isn't worth it and also doesn't work unless you have the ACE 240 clone. Even then I believe it's not 100% gen spec construction so you're not gaining much by it.

Yea I also made a service, they messed up my wattch with glue. My only problem is the very deep rehaut compared to gen, but if it only works with the ace movement, it's not worth it for me. Thank you

Just got myself a v2 from a TD. What a killer watch. Rotor winding works like a champ even in the office. Numbers are matching throughout the night it's losing 12hrs and it's going like -1s/day +/-. Won't even complain.

Looks like the same v2? What stands out to you as "new" other than the v3 clasp? If you say dial color it's lighting. See a few pages back my post - it's the same damn watch.
As i say, i saw the new clasp and didint know if they was other stuff lol keep cool

I don't see any improvements worth calling it a V3... I mean the colour of the moon phase would have been the obvious choice for an improvement

A little ticked off that they increased the price of the replica by $50 just for the new clasp.....

This is completely unchanged. Not sure what puretime is smoking
I wouldn't blame PT for this, I blame PPF for this, usually the dealer just repeats what was told them to by factory. See my message below I posted a week ago

FYI

Newest batches of PPF 5712 stock now come with the new butterfly clasp

You may see this variant called "5712 V3 or V4", but I assure you it's the same 5712 with no changes except a swapped clasp

Hey, what's your opinion on the SW moondisc? A dealer is offering it to me for 1200 CNY and wondering if there's any disadvantages against the spongebob moon disc.

SW moonphase is fine, but if you are able to get the SB moonphase definitely get that one.

I‘m pretty sure all of them are just stickers, which is fine if they look good. The gen one is crystal or glas and i have not seen a rep made out of crystal or glas
