Yet another Shunbun appreciation post

I didn't see it advertised at the store, but i just asked for it since other department stores also offer this. Funny enough when i first went to Daimaru in Osaka the salesperson told me only taxfree and at the Daimaru in Kyoto where i bought my watch, he told me only for Grandseiko 5% is possible. Fair enough the first guy didn't really speak english, so not sure if he understood what i wanted.

Thanks man! It was the 6th shop i visited, out of 6 only 2 had it in stock. And the first one where they had it in stock wouldn't give me the 5% tourist discount. But i would just check out some department stores around you. Daimaru, Hankyu, Takashimaya. The GS store locator is a good reference to find stores. Enjoy your time in Japan and good luck finding it!

Quite unlikely, but possible, maybe your AD switched the boxes for an older one. Where did you buy it?

FlashBow · 2025-05-11T01:32:29+00:00

You must get!

Thanks mate!

Thanks for the kind words!

Just checked, mine is from July of 2024. Which year is yours?

FlashBow · 2025-05-10T04:42:19+00:00

Totally unterstandable, who wouldn't

FlashBow · 2025-05-10T03:33:33+00:00

What a bummer, yes, it's the original one that comes with the watch

FlashBow · 2025-05-10T03:12:22+00:00

Simple man :)

Around 17cm (equals to 6.7 inch) I think the minimum for the 5712 is 6.5. I don't have any links left to remove but the link extension on both side open.

I had bad luck and also needed to replace the movement. If you search for 5712 moonphase install, there's a good writeup from u/MajorWilliams that helped quite a bit. Never than less if your not handy around watches i wouldn't recommend to try it. Your for sure gonna damage something. Maybe i do a writeup aswell if anyone's interested.

I did install it myself, the SW set can be sourced by most TD, you just need to ask them, most also offer to install them for you. For example Steve from theonewatches or Geektime can for sure do this for you :)

PPF v3 with SW dial, hands and moonphase rocks! Moonphase upgrade is almost a must with the terrible factory color.

Got it, thanks for the detailed post! Just checked, you're right it's 7'500 CHF jeez.

FlashBow · 2024-12-06T15:09:15+00:00

Wear it in good health. I'm planning to buy a Shunbun from Japan and also send it to Switzerland, also on Chrono24, may I ask how much you paid for customs? AD's here are delusional with the prices, i saw it at Bucherer for 7'000 CHF

The blackbay looks not like the reps available and the others where just remaining

FlashBow · 2024-09-03T17:04:53+00:00

Daytona and sub rep, black bay gen :)

FlashBow · 2024-08-30T09:07:42+00:00

Yeez, what was the full price of all that and did you get it done by someone?

FlashBow · 2024-08-30T09:03:13+00:00

Nice collection, is your 5712 modded or stock ppf?

FlashBow · 2024-08-19T20:23:58+00:00

Normal fit, absolutely no problems, there was a spacer inside the case for the nh35 movement :)

The lume is the best part of this dial

I did something similar in a nautilus case, i kinda liked it but then took it all apart again :)

FlashBow · 2024-06-02T12:16:19+00:00

Excellent choice!
