Have an offer for a gen white dial and we talked about if its worse to buy a white gen dial, if ppf is very close or spend the money on other watches

have ordered a ppf dial + hands + ppf dwo & just waiting on my dial if it has any flaws


in this moment i have a pf base with pf dwo and want to change to ppf or maybe gen dial, so i asked which dw fits better to gen

The gen white dial is AMAZING (I own it), but the PPF looks truthfully like 95% of the way there.

The big thing that is lacking is the markers aren't burnt white gold (which gives a different finish than painted), and the off-angle light reflection is slightly different than gen, but the ppf dial is still well done and beautiful.

If the gen dial is under $1500, go for it, is my opinion.

Thank you for your excellent description!!

Hmm.. my seller would give it away for 1700$ + taxes

Do the ppf hands fit optically good to the gen dial in your opinion?

My question here is : are you going to flex it or wear it? This is all you need to know. Pm here and there are useful... we are who we are and no one is you!

He means are you going to wear it for yourself/the purists on the forum and share lots of pics, or are you going to try and pass it off as genuine irl and on Instagram

Haha okay i understand.. I like to see how the watch gets better from time to time, so from mod to mod - so the process of it, you understand? It is just interesting what you have opportunities to eliminate various flaws.
You only do that for yourself or you want to share it with someone who has the same interests, ie the people here.
Thats not going about showing off.

Since my pm refers more to the dial than the dwo, I did not want to mention this, because this thread is mainly dealing with the dwo

sam_7 if 1.7k is no big deal for you, go gen dial. Details on that are superior date window specially. This details however are never noticed on the wrist and if you don't have both watches side by side.

I sent you a message which you probably did not receive because it was sent via a previous post. Please refer to Post #1318 of this thread to view the message. Any help you can render will be appreciated. Thanks.

I asked PayPal for a refund too. At least I'd like to get some news after spending over $ 100. I didn't know anything after more than 10 days.

Did they at least acknowledge receipt of your payment. They acknowledged my payment and the DWO arrived weeks later, but I received the wrong one.

Nope, they did not. I payed but never received any news in 10 days. All right, it means that I won't use my nautilus from 20 to 29 every month, but I want my money back now.

That is not a good business practice. I hope we get our refunds without any problems. I'm already out of around $140.00 including modders fees, shipping to and from the modder and the DWO itself.
