A WeChat modder in Mainland China. I am fluent in Mandarin so I am able to communicate with them (as most of them do not speak English). Given the recent experience of some members with WeChat sellers and non trusted dealers, it is definitely a case of caveat emptor (even for me).

How come certain V2 models appear without a purple dial?

I found that under yellowish light the purple pops out more but under white light the purple disappear

Where I need to be.
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!
Both are gen bridges.

Anybody experience with mounting gen 5712 hands on the rep ?

My modder is saying that the hole of the gen minute hand is smaller then the rep.

Gen left , any tips or suggestions ?

Guys- I need your help .

I bought a v2 5712 here on M2M last week and received the watch this Tuesday. After one day I noticed that the wach stoped working also the PR showed full loading .. I winded it up and turned the crown 20 times and shaked the wach to move the rotor as I thought it could be that the watch needs some energy by turning the crown after it was in transit for 4 days. The last night about midnight I putschtet watch of for sleeping and this morning the power reserve showed 3/4 full and the watch stopped at 2 :00 after midnight . Seller says that this is normal and that the pp2 5712 has fake power reserve but I know that it is not right..
What are your thoughts and how can this be solved as I think this watch has a special issue and not like the seller says all ppf v2 in general ..

Maybe you can help me in finding the best way to handle the watch for daily use.
And to make it clear - I respect the seller and never want to say that he sold me a defect watch .. I just want to hear your comments about the issues .. are they really common on every v2 .
Does the PR only move from 48 to minimum 36 also the watch is at 0 power reserve ?

I have enquired about the PR as well.

V2 has functioning PR. It should go from 48hrs to .... The red dots.

If it does not work like that, it is deffective. Probably fixable by a watchmaker, but I have no technical knowledge how.

Just to say I asked this 3 times around here and the TD and the answer is the same, V2 has functioning PR, as advertised.

Seems it'a quite frequent issue of this clone movement.

Have you seen the Buff 5712 dial in person? Would you prefer it to SW v2?

I have this pic of the Buff dial:

Somewhere above it says that SW2 is the Dial BuFF uses...so there may be no difference. Maybe they just realign indexes...

Did anybody receive their buff 5712?
