Please attach one more picture of the balance bridge.

Pretty sure you got the latest MKF V6 release with updated movement. Otherwise it is ok but the date wheel is meh.
Double digits up from 20 are too small and sit a bit lost in the date window.

As there were problems during the production of the MKF custom DWO i cannot assure you that there will be the possibility of modding your watch to your preferred standards.

After looking at the MKF link I can assure u it’s not an MKF. Looks nothing like the movement. Also the decoration plates on my watch are much nicer. No rough edges and everything polished nicely

An easy way to tell if it is a MKF v5 or v6, is to check the spelling of the words, "adjusted" and "isochronism" engraved on the movement. The incorrect spelling of the words can be seen in the pictures provided by stanevo6 .

Going by the serial number on the bracelet and the price paid for the watch, I think it could be a BP v2 or v3, just a guess.

The engravings are spelled correctly, just checked

After looking at Pure times website I believe it is a PPF 1:1 the one for $498. The movement is identical and the face is identical. I only paid 275-300 but not from a trusted dealer(my mistake). Go take a look and let me know what y’all think.

The size of the date font is more like the new GRF model than the PPF model. The GRF model is new, so that is probably why we missed it completely. Pictures of the new GRF model can be seen on puretime's website.

THATS IT!! I can tell because the clam shell link is facing the same way as mine. Also the movement is identical. And the dates do look closer than mine than the ppf

I just looked back over the invoice they sent me and I remember they gave me a 20% discount because it was my first time buying. They being whoever tf I bought it from. So $318 was the total. Still a great deal

Any chance one of the wheels would fit for the GRF?
