I just got the new white-faced PPF, after having bought the older blue-faced "V2" three years ago.
I wore the older watch almost constantly until I hit and broke the glass. After that, the crown fell off. This isn't the first time it fell off and the TD repaired it the first time.
Rather than repair the V2, I went and ordered the PPF.
There are enough white PPF pictures, so I decided to compare the two versions.
Newer one on the right
The thickness was never what they claimed. V2 was supposed to be 9.5mm but I measured 10mm (left) while PPF was 8.8mm (vs advertised 8.5mm)
The back is clearly much better.
Side view.
Bracelet looks more flush (bottom) on the PPF. The newer bracelet is more pliant but lateral free-play remained the same. I wouldn't remove it from my wrist as it's a giveaway.
Side view of bracelet gives the impression the newer one (above) is thinner but both measured 3mm thick.
The rest are various angles to give you a better view of the white PPF.
