Nightmare modding story of a PPF 5712 V2 - and what can you learn (watchmaker Harleysta91)

I am sorry to hear that, brother. Gen 5712a moonphase is hard to source. I had similar situation before, that moonphase prob not easy to swap. years ago, sent that to SpongeBob, he scrathed that too , but we worked that out and since then he has been my go-to watch mod for Patek.

Hope you get your 5712a soon!

Yeah. That genuine moon phase dream has burst for me 1.5 years ago. So now what can be salvaged. Hopefully. Thanks buddy

Wow. This whole story is completely bonkers. Cant believe something like this could even eventuate.

I hope it all gets sorted out for you.

This is the most difficult part of this hobby is finding a trustworthy watchmaker that can perform high quality work and wont stuff up. I've had my own experiences in the past with previous trusted watchmakers on here and other forums.
