The 5712 is one of the most comfortable watches I've ever worn (if not the most)

The bracelet feels just wonderful on the wrist, like a second skin.
The only "con" I see is the lack of micro adjustment system, so you need to find the proper length to fit you in both cold and warm weather. In my case, my wrist changes a lot and is not that easy. Changing the links too often is not advisable, at least with the "old" screwed version (no experience with the new one).
Btw, I love the look and feel of this rushed finish you mention. Is the same on the AP RO and I love it as well. But that's very subjective, of course.

But the clasp can be annoying, and lack of adjustability is a drawback, albeit relatively minor in the grand scheme of things. This is my inpression from several try-ons - I don’t own one - and wouldn’t hold me back from purchasing.
Are you able to compare with another?

Do you think you might have a piece that slipped through QC? It is perfectly normal to have a pretty 'distinct' edge in places with small radius, but no burrs should be present. In terms of surface roughness a non dressed raw filed or CNCd feature will ca...
No Discomfort?

It's an extremely comfortable bracelet. There are no sharp edges?
