That old clasp is a dead giveaway still.

That old clasp is a dead giveaway still.

Search through reviews of the 5990 and you can see plenty of examples of the gen with this "old" clasp. I don't think it is a giveaway since Patek made these with the old clasp.

I checked most of the TD websites to see if they posted a video showing the functions and none of them have posted a video. If anyone can find a video of the functions of this rep or has purchased one please let us know.

Just the old black dial 5990 yes.
The rosegold and blue steel 5990 all have the new clasp.

We want the new clasp anyways considering the old one feels cheap

Ah ok I see your points. Are no factories making the clasp for different models? Doesn't the new 5811 come with the new clasp? Must be a rep of the 5811 from a factory.

Here you are, PPF makes 5811 with new clasp. Send email to Fat Panda to order PPF 5811 clasp and Bob is your uncle problem solved. One issue is the engravings I believe are for 750Au and not stainless steel, but is it the newer clasp.

we actually have a seller named Fat Panda or are you calling the chinese a fat panda? LMAO

HAHAH, yes he is a TD called Fat Panda. Well the company is Watch Finder but he is known as Fat Panda. He has found Patek clasps for me in the past and dials. Highly recommend to use him if there is something other TDs say they can't get.

PureTime told me the pushers on the left side do not work. They should move the GMT hand back and forward but she said they don't work. Still I would like to see a video of this.

Just got into this model, any updates? or did you make any purchases ?

 

[tangokilo]

No I did not buy this one.

The movement on mine is messed up. Can I just get a regular A7750 to swap it out with?

 

[dullidulli]

I had the same movement issues when it had arrived. Sent it back to TD who did the repair.
Runs fine now.
Apart all the flaws, the thing that annoys me the most is the protruding crown.
Does anyone know someone within the EU who is able the do the crown recessing/trimming mod?

Does the GMT work, can the hand be adjusted with the pushers ?

Unfortunately not. Pushers do not work.

 

[Db9s]

Unfortunately not. Pushers do not work.

How do you adjust the GMT hand ? Do the Local and Home work? Does the GMT cycle every 12 or 24 hours ?

I’m conflicted with this and the Vacheron overseas dial time. I hate Vacheron and would rather spend my money on this.

 

[dullidulli]

The GMT cannot be adjusted and does not move, it keeps its position but I do not care.
As stated above, the protruding crown is my main issue.

Can anyone help and does know an EU modder who is able the do the crown recessing/trimming mod?
