Who owns a patek 5968A-001 Rep. with ALL functions working, the date display correctly placed and where bought?

A quick search would have answered your question;

There's no good rep of the PP 5968A. It's not a widely popular model and not easy to rep either. The rep is chunky and the subdial doesn't work as supposed, i.e. showing seconds and not minutes.

The movement would need to be cloned, which imho won't happen.

There are some rumours that it was a multi-million $ invest to clone the rlx 4130. So do the maths ...

After doing my own research, I have found an honest and competent dealer where I have ordered the object of my desire.
According to the video and the pictures of my watch that were sent to me before shipping, the dial is exactly like the original and the movement can hardly be distinguished from the original.
ALL functions, including the chrono, work perfectly, which was proven in the video.

Hope you'll receive your dreamwatch.

Did you order from a TD, or did you just google "5968A replica" and used some non TD off google?

I hope you used a TD here. Because if not you got scammed.

There only exists 2-3 variants that are worth talking about, from OM factory and YL factory.

The issue with this replica is not the dial color or whatever, it's the fact the movement is dogshit (modified 7750 which is unstable), and also a huge thick fat burger case, about 4mm thicker than gen.

If you're looking to run the chronograph, well, your replica may not even last a week running the chronograph.

Also, don't expect it to be a flyback chronograph fyi. It's a normal chronograph. If the dealer told you otherwise he's a fat liar.




You see how thick the case is. It's a big fat burger.

Is that so? I didn't realize that only the 24 TD listed here are honest in the rep. business in the world.....

He didn't tell me that...
I know it's a conventional chrono

Well, it's your money not mine. Good luck otherwise. If you find a new dealer that works for you, congratulations

No, I stopped the process and got the money back because the dial was not correct

Has any factory been able to copy the Flyback movement with the subdial acting as the minute counter instead of a sub dial running seconds?
