I received mine from trustytime about 3 months ago it worked just fine, but all of a sudden it stopped. Minute/hand/moon/date/seconds none of them work. I messaged Ryan but have not heard back. Any suggestions?

Might be a dumb question... but have you wound the watch. Not trying to be disrespectful. Not all new members know this.

Lol good question. Yes it’s strange when I wound it the power reserve moved and is on the max. But nothing else works. When I move the crown out it doesn’t move the minute or hour hand. When I press the buttons on the side it doesn’t change the date or move phase. And now the power reserve is on max it doesn’t come down either.

Do TT still provide at least 6 month warranty for their watches? If so then your watch should be covered by it imho.

You may want to send it back to your seller, if possible, and get it fixed. According to many Chinese forums, this is a common failure (power reserve is maxed and the watch doesn't run). My modder in China told me that he has seen more than 10 watches recently failing and exhibiting this behavior.

Sneak peek. Triple pinnon mod with sw dial and embossed moonphase. Engraved replacement plates.

Will share more when I get my full mods done

There are 2 options for the 3 pinnon. Either you choose bronze or silver.

Both are apparently correct

Regarding the engraved parts - this looks strangely familiar to a gen bridge. The second smaller plate on the right isn't part of the 240 caliber and rather from a Chrono-movement...

I've seen buff posting those images but didn't really understand his intention. Is it for comparison purposes? Is he trying to recreate the gen finish or is he even abled to source all visible parts as gen haha?

Anyway I'm looking forward to his progress!

Are this engraved plates available from Buff? I don't quite follow what is going on despite reading everything. My memory is failing me :))

I have already ordered the engraved parts for my modded 5712. Will report back once they are installed.
