Measured the white dial PPF i received last week: 8.9mm including both sapphires.

But what bugs me is that I am in between two sizes, it’s either too loose or too big.

I wish PPF made a 1.5 link:

"Baby wrist "Logixa shared a good tip for that, place a strip of leather or felt inside the folding clasp, on the part that receive the two part of the bracelet and in contact with your wrist, use some double sided tape and you should have a better fit, that mod is almost invisible and easily removed if needed

Glaude cunt.

I actually managed to work around this by taking one of the links to a factory nearby that specializes in all kinds metal machinery. They drilled a new hole in the link but this time in the middle section( ie. Middle line in the H shaped link) and I removed a part of it from the front side. The link is now half size. It's not pretty but get the jobs done. Ill make a pic when I get back home

Again, Glaude you damn .....

*Shots Fired*

Your subsequent reasoning behind it is sound, though. lol, well played.

Bro me too. I’m like in bracelet sizing limbo. Keeping one extra link on is just slightly too loose, but taking it off and it’s slightly uncomfortably too tight...

In a way glad I’m not the only one here. It’s kind of frustrating haha..

i can confirm that: received a ppf (white) with one ink less than my other ppf (gray)...very tight. the ppf with one link more (gray) sits a bit too loose, but overall its more comfortable.

btw: if anyone has a spare ppf bracelet link....contact me!^^

Took it to a company specialized in steel that was able to drill a new hole (kinda hard to do with RVS and the required thickness) and I grinded the rest away with a Dremel. Was not fun to do... :Rofl:

Ben jij niet ook een mod op bepaalde andere fora?;)

amazing. Can imagine that it is not fun to do. When we can have a wristshot showing the dial, that would be great. Cheers. :)


Nope, geen mod op andere fora, ben wel lid van de meesten (ook RHF)

Hello boys and girls!
Today I had to reject QC images for PPF 5711 white dial because 12 o'clock marker was badly placed.... waiting next hoping it is better done..
