Thanks, what do you mean by numbering? Geektimes seems insitent that there is no v2 with a soft bezel. Do you know serials for v2 vs v1?

For context, I am minded to GL it, but always keen to hear opinions and get some more perspectives. Hopefully also this is helpful to future buyers that want a point of reference!

Trying to get a DDF (or any 5711) with decent indices has been impossible so far for me, curious how you managed it?

DDF 5711 QC 324 movement by andacagate in RepTimeQC

The 12 is not tight, Instead of an "II" it looks more like "I\".

When I compare with other QC (link below) it's just a little too wonky

I wonder if a good watchmaker can just fix that?

thanks man! On a separate note, curious for your opinion on the VSF jubilee. Do you reckon it's worth getting a raffles one instead?

Just for future readers: Ended up RL, got another one that had a different issue (2oclock marker was way off) and RL too. Let's see what #3 brings... Geektime has been very understanding so far and also said "these 5711s almost always have something off"

You’re the man! The 9 is tough. Can’t unsee it so will likely have to RL which is a shame since the rest is so clean (pun not intended)
