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

So you don't think anything needed to be modded like polishing, beveling, crown thickness etc?

I don’t think anything is needed and won’t be modding the watch, someone else might want to do the mods you mentioned and that’s cool too.

Eric/Geektime just sourced me a 5712 v2 but I already received mine from Intime. Not sure how it would work but anyone interested in taking my order from Eric? Prolly just pay him directly so I’m not involved. Sorry if this is against rules. Just figured since I was offered one but already have it that I’d give it to a member so they don’t have to wait.

I have no idea mate…..will check once I get home from work. To be honest with the naked eye I don’t notice anything…..

Yours is not engraved. It is printed.

They recently switched it to printing, supposedly to speed up production as engraving takes longer and there’s high demand

Too bad the factory don't do laser engraving at least.

Well that sucked... so only the first batch of V2 has the correct movement engraving?

 

[setuna3450]

Well, only my main bridge is printed, the rest are engraved so I don’t know if they mix and match here.
Another thing i notice is that on one ear, it has weird shape, so keen to know if it’s fixable or not :|
