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

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
Im new to patek and dumb, could you point out the “pinion” part on the watch?
Many thanks

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 meI'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.
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)
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)
