OME Maker 5712 New release

[Reaps]

Not sure. I had chats with other members who reached to me and I don’t seem to be alone. Just the luck of the draw I guess

I agree 5712 is not that reliable, it works but I wouldn't put it on the same level as VR/VS movement

It’s lovely but i don’t think the rotor actually powers the watch
Basically a manual wind only lol

First time with a 5712? Yeah the movement is kinda shoddy at best. Looks good but movement is weak

Tungsten micro rotor would help a lot i guess

At the current price of a tungsten micro rotor you could buy a new VSF Aqua Terra or Submariner OR one part just to make the 5712 run a bit better lmao

I meant OME upgrade the rotor, not myself doing a custom rotor from a random dude with a cnc machine

Sw dial > ome dial, ome needs a fixed pr pinion, i think ome with sw dial and pinion fix would be good

Does the SW dial come with the fixed pinions?

No, thats not part of the dial

I'm generally pleased with the OME 5712 I received (SW dial, pinion fix). Initially, the seconds hand kept getting stuck, but a few gentle taps resolved the issue. I'm impressed with its appearance and hope it proves reliable in the long run.

Oh right, does PPF not have this issue? If so who does the mod to fix this?

Is it SW dial or OME dial? Looks like OME to me

It's an SW dial. The original OME dial looks pretty good too, but the 12 markers were really off and it is missing the larger dots at 5 and 7.

Ah, I see now! Thanks mate! I just thought that SW is more blue (and even green tint)

The dial looks better in real life. I didn't take the best pictures of it.

Actually, I like the way it looks on your pics more than too blue/greenish SW that I saw on other pics (like the one attached)
