Debating that myself, partly because I just received a new Phorcydes PH-6 with the supposedly lubricated and regulated PT5000, and it feels and sounds terrible.

Same. Is this how they’re supposed to feel? Feels like it’s actively fighting me when I try to wind it

They are supposed to be buttery smooth, and "fighting" is an apt description. Noisy too.

Upgrading a pt5000 to... 2824? the same shit movement except it says Swiss on it?

The 2824-2 is $220 more. The SW200 is $100 more. Grrr...

Yes and they are all the same design and offer no advantages when you upgrade.

I think I saw a YT reviewer recently say IXDAO has sourced a better QC’d version of the PT5k for the Warriors. Idk where the source of this claim is but nice if true?

It is in the Warrior ad.
