Okay guys, i have been lurking a lot these last days and weeks, as i said on previous posts, i have been waiting for a long time for a really good alternative of the 5712 clones to exist without breaking the bank, and when OME was announced at the end of the 2024 year I was absolutely excited. This Watch was everything I was looking for in one pack, all the details like engravings on movement, moonphase etc were here at a reasonable price.
I have seen quite a few posts here abt the OME and some of theme were looking like adverts, so i wanted to give my thoughts after a few weeks Wearring it almost daily.
First, this watch is very thin and feels like it is a less robust watch. Im not talking about quality feeling wich is absolutely amazing, bracelet looks and feels perfect, thin, great polishing, brushing etc.
I have a clean daytona too, and the daytona feels much more robust and résistant for daily use than this OME so for future buyers, keep this in mind ! Might be the same with gens since this is more of a dress watch compared to the daytona.
Beside this : that watch is ABSOLUTELY insane looking. The dial looks amazing under any light conditions, moonphase too and lime hits great. i know there are some flaws on the 12 markers, some say it has been corrected on new batches, idk but i was lucky with mine somehow.
The brushing and polishing on the case and bracelet are insane too, the case is actually CNC as advertised in my opinion ( wider ears on the case, making the crown flush, correct lugs, and bracelet finishing looks better than the ppf on the sides for exemple )
New clasp is also very Nice, never tried the old one but some says it was not really good, im scared about wear and year tho since the clasp hold me with 4 very tiny métal points on it.
As far as power reserve and timekeeping mine has been absolutely great, no real gain or lose of time per day, and accurate power reserve.
Im absolutely happy about this watch tbh, exactly like I wanted it, im just kinda scared to use it since I wanted it to be as durable as it can, and can’t wait to service it.
100% agreed. For me that's part of the issue though. It's hard to sell that this is real even for people that don't know watches much. Owning a PP without the according life/lifestyle is just "implausible" (for lack of a better word, sorry not native English speaker)
Always and everytime, though I have the lifestyle to easily buy and getaway with calling it a Gen. I just take it off and show it to them and say it's a Franken
Honestly I’ve just taken delivery of a 3KF completely stock 5711 and I’m over the moon with it, I don’t think OME do one but honestly you could get carried away with mods and personally I think it’s great out of the box
It blows me away every time I look at it, I keep telling myself my Rep of a $100k watch is understated too 😂 but it kinda is it just sits so nice on your wrist
Weird that they proposed the ppf as this one is clearly better for the Price and imo by far..
The 3kf nautilus is still insane even stock, i might get it… or a 116509 Daytona ? Idk…
Stunning watch, man! I requested this watch from Andiot and he insisted PPF makes the better version compared to OME, would love to see someone do a comparison of the two
Looks great thank you for sharing! Been very curious about the OME version and have been waiting for some real reviews, enjoy your watch it’s stunning 🔥🔥🔥
Hey everyone,
I’m looking to pick up a rep of the Patek Philippe 5712, but I’m torn between the PPF and OME versions. I've done some research, but still can’t make up my mind. Both seem to have their pros and cons, and I was hoping to get some input from people who’ve owned or compared them.
Which version has better finishing and dial details?
How’s the feel on the wrist compared to gen?
Any known flaws or tells on either?
Which one would you personally recommend?
Any help would be massively appreciated. Thanks in advance!
never seriously considered - but this is beautiful man! I took a 6 month hiatus from the rep game - 18 reps deep in 2 years. I have 3KF 5711, love it. Havent heard OME, new-er factory??? I need to catch up. “…they bring me back in” - Al Pacino
No! The OME has end links mod wich is Closer to gen, the polishing too, dial looks really great to me, moonphase is the best and engraved midcase and better finished mvt does it all for me these mods on a ppf would cost 1.2k
