New patek philippe nautilus from ppf

[Ultra929]

Well to be fair, that watch in the photo is a hell of a watch I wouldn't mind getting... (I assume it's the gen, ofc)

For sure. A beauty, but is supposedly heavy in weight and date window has a little white gold frame.

Just got my PPF and it's beautiful.

Dumb question, using the pin removal tool, the pins when placing them back in, don't feel fixed in at all. Will they stay in?

Just gave the green light on this watch. Some excellent alignment coming straight from the factory

The hole in the links has a thin metal sheath and it looks like you didn't notice it and lost it. That's why they feel not fixed at all. You can try slightly bending the pins so they stay in place, or take one of these sheaths from an unused pin.

just as I want to say no to the blue one, I see some of these pics and the dial looks much better

Thanks so much. Found it and sorted. Newbie patek user. (link removal user) have to say its so much quicker than screws though even though still don't quite trust it haha. Feels firm and in place now.

Also just want to say to all who are in doubt about the white, there's no ways you're seeing the marker misalignment or the date thickness on your wrist, photos are zoomed up and definitely not like that in reality.

I wish they could achieve this thinness with APs

asanibal looks stunning on your wrist.

What is your overall impression about the finish of the case and bracelet, particular the polishing? (is the matte Ok, is the shining Ok? )

Thx in advance and please wear her in good health

I have a PPF Nautilus on order and would appreciate a detailed description of how to add / remove links please, if somebody could be so kind

I have never owned a watch that uses pins, so this is all a step into the unknown!

Buy something like this:

Watch a YouTube video showing how to use it if unsure (you literally just hammer out the pins).

Quality is amazing, I never had the gen so I can not compare but the finish and presence is wow!! I will try to make a comparison to my old beloved MBW and let pics talk.

 

[stanevo6]

Thx yep please do. :woo:

congrats on this stunner!

BTW - you are a lucky owner of a MBW? maybe you can share some pictures of it in a dedicated thread?

I also add that taking them off it's the easy task, while putting them back in is the tricky one where you can end up bending the pin.
​​​​​​
What I found useful is to use a normal watch holder (like the ones that come with any cheap watchsmith toolbag you find on Amazon):


​​It provides the right amount of pressure, slow and steady, so you can't bend the pin accidentally.

Be sure to pay attention and do not lose any of those metal sheathes too! Good luck!

Seeing that the accuracy of the blue dial is being debated, I'm linking the following QC photos for reference. Depending on the light, it doesn't look as bad as originally thought. Indeed, in some lights, it actually looks better than PF. But it appears to vary. The DWO also looks much better with the blue dial (imo). I'll let you folks be the judge.

If there are any issues with uploading the QC images here, mods please delete and my accept my apology in advance.

Isn't 250 quite a low result for the amplitude?? I'd be interested to hear what the more technical members have to say on this point. I rejected my first offering because of a low amplitude (lower than this one) and a very high (20+) secs/day reading.

By the way, it's good to see TD's now showing pressure test results as well

 

[freediver]

If you accepted, there is no problem posting them for other members to see !

For me, that crown just looks not right. Say what you want about PF, but with service, 2xr and DWO, I think it's still a winner
