PPFv4 / PF+PPFv4 dial / 3KF v2 -> read and choose one.
Both PF and PPF have a hacking movement (Miyota 9015).
PF bracelet is more solid but PPF is told to be more gen like.

Hi everyone, now i was lucky to get my hands on a hybrid build (pf case, ppf V4 dial and hands and a keylog DW) It is absolutely stunning but i am having several issues with it that i want to be fixed. First is the quite harsh difference in lume color when comparing the hands with the dial. is that normal on the ppf v4? The hands are bright white and the dial is creamy. I already inquired for a new set of hands at TDs since the seconds hand is also slightly bend but wanted to have your guys opinion. Could a new set of hands fix that issue or make it better. Or do i need a lume job. I just want them to be roughly the same. Another issue is that the dial and DW is not centered in the case and displaced to the right. Is that something any watch smith/modder can fix? can the DW be adjusted accordingly? thanks for your help and as always much valued opinion.
Hey man, in regards to this build- shouldn't the crown be protruding less? Or I may be wrong and my humble apologies for that.

Mac and Cheese sucks
My advice to send to someone like legend to do the crown mod and lume repainting to match. No the lume isn’t supposed to be mismatched
Sadly i have a feeling that there are a few things not like they are supposed to be. But since this is the first nautilus i have had in my hands i wanted to ask you guys. I ordered a new dial and hands from TD now do hopefully solve the lume problem. The crown is now a bit better since i simply used a bit of force to screw it down half a turn more than before.

I guess I dodged a bullet with this one.
I was ready to buy this exact watch when it was for sale, my last message to the seller was "Send your PP info and the money will be sent asap", but he never responded.
After that, I noticed he had an AP for sale with a completely BENT hand that he didn't mention at all. People in his thread have asked about that bent hand but he never responded.
Doesn't seem like a great guy...
Are those the new dial and hands on your latest picture, the lume appears to match.

I have the same build. Now your crown is correct for this build. Regarding the lume mismatch unfortunately there is no guarantee that ordering a new dial and/or a hand set will fix that issue. Relume is a safer option imo.

Thanks for all the advice guys.
I am glad now that the parts at least are what they were advertised. PF Case, PPF V4 Dial. The problems can be fixed i guess.
Let’s see if the new dial and hands match, i still have a feeling that the dial is V4 but the hands are not. Hence the drastic difference.
The watch is absolutely gorgeous despite the minor issues.

I am always a bit hesitant when it comes to reluming. Last time i had this done on a rep the hands and dial were scratched afterwards.
Can you recommend someone that can definitely do it and leave everything in pristine order?
I've ever asked altogether 3 modders for servicing and/or modding my watches and one modding concerned also luming which was perfectly done by Nikz19 . However, that job wasn't re-luming the hands but adding lume onto such parts of the watch where there hadn't been lume before. Nikz19 is EU based. I think other forum members also have good experiences with (re)luming and can chime in.

Really nice one, congrats !
Just got my PPF V4 in the mail, all is perfect. But the rotor is super loud and cheap sounding, is there any way to decrease this?
So i got new hands from Andrew. This time definitely V4 because now they match!
Problem solved. Thanks for your help guys.
Such an awesome watch.

Just wondering, is it just me or has there been updates to the PPF v4 dial after the Green Factory incorporation and the new 5726? because the recent QC pictures i've noticed on Reptime have a more blue-ish hue, wonder if anyone can confirm this?

Someone else's QC picture, looks better than 3k imo

About the lume, gen is said to glow the whole night. My ppf just glows for maximum 30 minutes. Will those reluming modders also do the new Strontium Glow powders? They are a different league than even gen lume
