_DC_ 218 Posted March 24, 2015 Yes it is that one from Perfect Clones, the brown dial is a little too brown compared to gen (gen is a more grey brown than warm brown) but I preferred it to the black dial version that PC offers which is not brown at all!! The strap I have is from Donerix, but I recommend speaking to Phantomtech for details of how to contact a guy called Jacob, he has one of these with a Jacob strap on and it is amazing quality!!!

oyster 0 Posted April 4, 2015 My favourite is the blue dial, I sold the black dial fairly soon after this photo was taken! DC Good thinking! I do like the blue better! Does it feel better on the wrist compared to the 5711? or just heavier? I won't lie, the 5711 is much more comfortable as it is slimmer and sits close to the wrist, I think because the chrono has a thicker case back it sits proud of the wrist a little and so not as secure on the wrist. On a larger wrist it is probably fine but on my smaller wrists it can be a little uncomfortable at times. I still love it though! DC Thank´s for sharing. I really like the 5980. Where can I get one?

Leafblow 0 Posted September 23, 2016 (edited) Great review! I read it more than a couple of times before pulling the trigger on my 5980/1a with a blue dial. I do like it more than my 116610LN/LV subs, but the colour of the dial, and the lug connected to the case do bother me. Here I tried to illustrate how the colour looks in normal light It goes from a bland blue in the middle, to almost a black near the bezel. In contrast to the GEN, the dial is unfortuantely not a sunburst one. Furthermore the "first" endlink also bothers me. Instead of being "rounded" into the case like the GEN, it is almost square and sits too high. All in all Im relatively satisfied. I like my 5711 REP better, but the 5980 got more "kick" to it. Cheers! Edited September 23, 2016 by Leafblow Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tony-hk 0 Posted December 28, 2016 Hi DC and other experts, I just asked my TD. He said only BP makes the 5980. Is the breathtaking 5980 shown here made by 5980? Btw, he also mentioned the sundial second hand is non-function. Same as yours? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bloon 0 Posted May 3, 2018 Hope its OK to resurrect a necro thread but with the modifications, is the movement a time bomb like the daytona? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vince_hiro 0 Posted May 24, 2018 Oh mine. thr 5980 are so nice but I cannot make up my mind between a SS blue dial or the RG black. While hoping the BP makes the 5980 40th Anniversary model. T.T Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
