Has anyone found a TD who will sell just a PFF dial and hands?

I tried many popular TD´s, including Toro, but no one gave me a positive answer...
It is confusing because other forum members say that most TD´s sells these parts but I can´t find anyone. :(
Ended up buying a PPF v3, let´s see when it arrives...

Toro was able to get me a PPF V2 blue dial and hands.

Yes, I knew Toro was selling these parts, but not anymore when I asked.
Maybe, he just sells parts to previous costumers who already bought complete watches from him...

What TD did you purchase your v3 through?

Gen dial in a pf base with ppf hands and keylog/spongebob pf dwo next to ppf dial - it‘s really really close to the gen, the dots look a little bit smaller on ppf, but it‘s not seen with naked eye imo - the letters are very well made, no difference to gen, so i think the ppf/pf hybrid is the closest to gen so far, let‘s be surprised, what the future 324sc clone brings..

I'm concerned about the alignment of the date wheel. It looks to be to the left and not centered.

He also said he fixed the 12 o'clock hour markers but they don't look that straight to me and have a space between them.

What do you guys think?

I emailed him about the date wheel being to the left but I have not heard back yet. Please let me know if you guys think it looks aligned.

There needs to be space between the 12 markers. :)

about the date wheel - looks weird but I’m no expert on the nautilus.

Looks fine... you're over obsessing, this is macro shots... slight imperfections are blown WAY out of proportion. Even the Gens have these defects at macro level.

Haha your probably right. I guess since I've waited a few months to see the end result I had a lot on my mind. Lol

Dont worry too much, I think it looks good.

Ive noticed that some numbers on my Hybrid are a bit to the left - 6 & 8 but some Gens also... Might be the DWO that comes that way ?

Thanks for info on the 12 o'clock markers I did not know that. I am probably over obsessing about the date wheel alignment.

Truth is, you'll never ever notice it in real life. I don't even think either problem is there anyway... but regardless, you will never see it. Get your watch back and look for yourself and I'm 100% sure you'll be happy. It is much harder looking at these photos... lighting... angles they all play a role. It looks great, you'll love it, tell him to dispatch it imo!
