Already asked Yu from Miro about when stock will be available. I'll gladly volunteer as GP for this one! Been holding off between a 5712 and a 15202 for years now. This may have just settled the debate.

Same here. And I had just decided to go modified 15202… And then this announcement. Now back to waiting…

Heck, don't tell me... :eek: Recently I'm after a PPF 5712 mod, a ZF APRO 15202 mod, a franken CF Daytona, in the middle of two 3KF 5711 mods and of a franken APRO 15450, and after all here comes this. :cry2:

Looks like I have to sell my PPF V1 5712 for this one.

Hehe, wait until it turns out how reliable the clone movement is. Nevertheless, I might be one of the GPs who would test it. (Un)fortunately I'm missing the fund for it atm.

Just ordered from Miro....he told me 3-4 days....we'll see about that

Seriously? As of yesterday he responded to me on whatsapp with "let me try to ask when it will be released" and hasn't gotten back.

Remind him not to give the v1..

Definitely…I’ve been eyeing the 5712 V1 for almost a year now., I’ll def be able to tell if he tried to slip one by me. But he’s been great so far to me, will report back.

Seems as if I started my interest for rep watches in the beginning of a new era, maybe this will be a good rep to start with. Waiting for more info and a review.

Although his latest email states that it is instock as pictured in my last email. Which sounds exciting. We'll wait and see what happens.

Ryan has confirmed correct engravings and will be available in a few days. (even though his website says June) Which is also probably correct ...lol

So I rolled the dice and purchased.

I'll post the QC pics when available.

OHH SHIT! Can't wait to see this.

I have been buying rep watches for over 10 yrs, my advise if this is your first rep or high end rep, avoid cloned movement until we know is reliable enough and also you have access to a watchsmith who is rep friendly. For example if one of the parts needs replacing, it might be quite difficult to get unless your watchsmith might have a donor movement as parts from factories are not always easy to get even with TDs.

Stick to something trusted and reliable as if you spend all this money and the watch stops working it will leave you with a bit of a sour taste and not be able to enjoy this hobby. For me I waited almost 2 yrs before I bought my clone 4130 noob daytona as there were visual flaws with it and to ensure the cloned movement is reliable and I know someone who can service it.

i agree, my recommendation is to start with an eta movement watch like a 2836 or a 2824. those are incredibly reliable and a good introduction to the rep world
