New PPF 5712 with PP240 Super Clone.....

[Db9s]

Pardon my ignorance. It seems that coming from other forums discussing the Patek micro rotor in great detail (even the clone perpetual calendar using this movement as a base).

The issue is that the micro rotor isn’t very efficient to charge the PR. Is there a Tungsten or heavier metal rotor mod that will fix this issue? I have only seen gold ones. But would be interested in a heavier metal modification

I think only gold ones exist at about 500 USD.

Does anyone know of any free sprung movements that aren't ACE? Some non-TDs are claiming some custom free sprung 240 movements that are not ACE. Not sure if they are referring to a modded PPF 240 movement to hide the regulator arm.

A while back there was some rep free sprung balances floating around in development, not much news on those since then. I think it was HB's telegram may have advertised them? I could be wrong- but thats likely this

I don't believe those were free sprung balance movements, they were movements with the regulator arm hidden.

No like there were aftermarket balance wheels being made. I’ll try to find it

Ive had a cnc butterfly clasp on my 5712 for like a year now, its a great upgrade but stupid to call it v3

Where is the best place to source a CNC Butterfly clasp please?

It comes with the newer ones or you can buy them alone for 80$ i think from pretty much any td. No need to get some expensive custom one

 

[alvinado]

Yes there is

 

[solexz]

Yes there is

Yeah this looks better than the pictures of the aftermarket ones I saw previously

 

[JaceBeleren]

Any TDs have the OME watch up on their websites yet?

 

[RollyAP]

Yes there is

How does one differentiate between ACE and other free sprung balance movements visually?

 

[jimbo]

Yes there is

Where can this be purchased?

Below is a link from someone that's not a TD on here, but widely used nonetheless. Any TD should be able to source this for you.

This isn’t a build by a non td it’s just another modding factory, you could buy this from any td.
I am guessing this factory doesn’t really use the ppf as base. Nothing on it looks like stock ppf or sw or at least they modify every part.

The midcase is custom for sure, I don’t know about the bezel but i think it looks better.
The hands are best i have seen from the thickness, way thinner than sw and stock.
The dial isn’t sw but looks very close to it with different markers.
The moonphase isn’t perfect but it’s one of the better modded ones.
The back is engraved, it’s one of the early engravings so not really good but it is at least engraved.
The pinion caps are good, only the one at the power reserve is really bad.

I have ordered one with a pinion cap replacement for the power reserve cost me 60$ extra all in all around 800$ from a td. For this price you have amazing value, a similar build with custom case and sw parts would cost close to 2000$ from a td.

Of course it’s no comparison to the sb modded ones you have but it was more than 3x the price and its more marketed towards people that just have the money for a stock ppf and for 50-100$ more that’s a no brainer i would even get this over a sw modded ones honestly.

Do u mind sharing the dealet u bought this from? And they offer pinion cap replacement for the PR aswell? Did u get a pic of the upgraded ones?

Thanks!

Anyone bought from AMOWatch before? I know they're not a TD, just curious to see if anyone has any experience to share.

Ahh really wanted to see the upgraded cap

Its gonna be like any other pinion mod, there are no huge differences

Do you think you need to replace dial with SW dial with this one?

 

[poseidon.]

Do you think you need to replace dial with SW dial with this one?

Depends on what you are looking for. Sub 1000$ budget build then definitely no, if you want the best then yes. Its not that big of a difference


Right SW left OME
