I bought the whole PPF watch. I was lucky to receive one with perfectly aligned indices. I left the PF bracelet which I think is much more consistent. I assure you that on the wrist it really looks like a Gen.

now I'm waiting for the pieces to make white one.

Hello gents,
my PPF arrived and unfortunately it has the problem that the crown cannot be pulled out. So I can't set the time or date. Did anyone have this problem and know what to do about it?

hey, you PULL-OUT it or you SCREW-OUT it ?

I means it have to be Un-screw before pulling out, just like ROLEX...!

What do you mean by unscrew it? Maybe it’s a language barrier or i‘m confused but I don’t know what you mean? Should I open the watch?

The nautlius got a screw down crown unlike your Calatrava. That means to ensure waterproofness it is secured by a tube on which the actual crown is screwed just like on a bottle of water. Before you can pull the crown out you have to unscrew it like a bottle of water.

The little knob (crown) that you tried pull out, turn it counter-clockwise to unscrew it. It will pop out slightly when it is unscrewed completely, then you can adjust the time and date.

As explained above, you can't just pull the crown, it's screwed in. You first need to unscrew it by turning it a few rounds counter clockwise then once it pops out you will be able to pull it. And once done you will need to screw the crown back in
