MKF is miles ahead of PPF dial wise, imho. I would rather want the blue, but think I might have to go for the white one..

Do you guys think the fat bezel will be a deal breaker?... can’t unseen once seen

Yeah the fat bezel and purple dial and protruding crown just don't do it for me. I put my MKF V6 on sale here on the forum as I was going to get the PPF, but am staying with the MKF and will do a couple mods.

Here is some quick overview of MKS vs PPF blue dials as seen in this comparison video:
https://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XNDEyODkyODc4MA==

PPF:
-better crafted markers
-clearer dial printing
-date window font size is closer to GEN
-more comfortable bracelet
-lume on markers are white
-bezel might be fatter than the GEN's bezel
-dial is bluer and might not be as close to that of the GEN
-8.9mm thickness- thinner profile than the MKS
-lighter than the MKS

MKS:
-lume on markers are way too green
-date window fonts are too small and bold
-bracelet does not contour to the wrist as well
-clasp is looser
-dial is has a greener hue and might be closer to the GEN than that of the PPF
-9.5mm thickness- thicker profile than the PPF
-heavier than the PPF

At this point I would still choose the PPF. It is a better crafted watch with a thinner profile.
I would prefer to have whiter markers and better date font.
However, the white PPF would be a sure winner because it is just easier to get that dial colour right.

In the video, PPF thickness is 8,91 mmm, same as PF release.

someone says 8.6mm but the video shows 8.9mm.

by the way, PPF bezel looks wider than MKF.

PPF bracelet 3rd link’s thickness 2.8mm and MKF bracelet thickness 3mm.

Anyone know the bracelet thickness of the genuine?

Great points. I did a thread on the MKF green markers and not really an issue on the wrist as gen are green/grey as Glaude and others have pointed out. Bracelet is fine on my larger wrist. Clasp on mine is perfect. Dial color is the best in my opinion and thickness is not an issue .5mm or whatever, so I like the MKF for now.

I've never thought about the white dial before but I think I'll get one. I'd love the blue but to me it's an excellent version of the 40th anniversary dial. I can imagine I'll be glancing at it and never quite be satisfied. Whereas with the white dial I'd have no such doubts.

You guys can say what you want, that blue dial is completely off. You can't compare dial colour on rendered photos , real life colours are completely different. Just like the 5167A looks black sunburst in Pateks official photos on their site (rendering) it has a brownish sunburst to it.

The more I see the fat bezel though, the more im turned off by it.

on pure time the dial looks again like straight DHgate blue... and even the U1 low budget version got a bit of green in its blue...

I have a blue PF and when I see above YT or YK video link, I can say that the bezel is off.
White is not obvious, but this blue one's bezel is obvious for me.
Gen propotion make the watch look stunning. A few .mm thick is acceptable.
