Variability in pics, lighting conditions, I've never seen anyone report a yellow lume yet, but that could always happen, wouldn't be the first time a major change happen between batches

I have to say that the ppf white is truly the way to go...however, i also feel the biggest tell (IMO that’s something one may be able to see at a relative normal distance) is the protruding crown guard (bothers me more than the the bezel issue)...This is a bigger tell than the minuscule thickness variance ...now, if one was able to mod that then all real good. Until that’s doable, I’m more than happy with my bp (undecorated, thin, white dial and hands, ie. no yellowish, silent rotor, great date mag and all). A v2 will be interesting.

Great comparison!! Thanks for sharing

Got my ppf white dial two days ago and I am really happy about it, I just resized the bracelet so now I can wear it.
The crown guard sticking out is a tell but doesn't bother me at all. I was afraid I had a problem with the crystal protruding a bit from the bezel (around 0.1/0.2 mm) but looks like it is normal from this pictures.

White dial is the way to go, simply stunning

I can confirm that my lume is perfectly white in sun lighting and green in Dark light ! Do see the photo wear the lume is yellowlish of.

As I remember is was the comparation of the dial between PPF and GEN?

*EDIT: Found it, a little bit more yellow but I think it can only be seen under the a macro shot. Or may be batches different?

I found the Nautilus really light weight but that was just me because my daily watch is really heavy. But after wear it for so long you don t notice that anymore.
Sometimes i m in my car and i have to look If i wear my watch Yes or No.

Interesting comparion and as someone new I'm learning a lot!

Can I ask on the pics of the GEN, the 47' dot marker is way off-line! Surely QC at PP wouldn't have let this pass? If so we're getting a better deal.

That makes me question this whole comparison. If the maker claims to have purchased a gen and that is the dial, I call bullshit. Patek would never make or sell that.

Wow that makes me wonder!!!!! But the dial does look gen, all lines and angles on markers look straight and crisp.
is it possible they were able to buy Nautilus that didn’t pass QC.
Those little mistakes add value to gen high end watches.
