Seems there’s still a lot of doubt about whether green fac and PPF are producing same watch, fee TD have claimed it is so I pulled the trigger but some whispers that it isn’t and green fac is still slowly releasing watches… not had my qc yet from PPF

I have received QC pics of both the Green and PPF, they look exactly the same watch to me. My TD didn't ship the green (bad clasp) but the PPF is on the way to me.

No idea, Andrew just said bad clasp, didn't close properly (4 days after I got QC). That's exactly when raids started, maybe they just wanted to keep it. Anyway, I am happy he got me the PPF one right away.

Lovely, wear it in good health!! Is the sunken moon phase dial obvious on the wrist (or is this one of those things that needs a loupe to really figure out). Just curious how it sits on wrist.

Well let me tell you
1- Pictures do not do justice to look and feel of the watch
2- Dial finishing , color and reflection is very good
3- 8 marker does not look thick , maybe with different angle of pics only.
4- clasp is a bit stiff , and bracelet is installed opposite side. Can fix and adjust not problem.
5- Of course u’ll need the tools to remove links.
I have a PPF bracelet mights test . I have one more order due an certainty back then placed with trusty might be a PPF . One of them will go in m2m later for sure

Not at all , depends from which angle you are looking.
This watch rank will be with Noob daytonas and VSF in terms of quality and accuracy given also that this is the first version . They will definitely overcome minor flaws.

Loving your feedback so far...excited. When you get a moment, can you please let us know the power reserve. On your 2nd pic (wrist shot), the crown protrusion doesn't seem bad at all (I guess we all have things that we can live with
) I really hope the factory takes on a full production run and they change the shortcomings in future versions. This release has a lot of future potential (getting the dial color accurate and working complications except power reserve is a huge step for version 1)

On your pics I don't see green color in the blue. Are you sure this dial is the same of Green dial?
I noticed a difference on the movement in the back between the PPF and Green Maker. See below picture with difference circled. I don't know what to call that gear but it is in a different location on the two reps.
Also, I think it's worth noting that historically PPF bracelets have not been that well made. I am torn between going with the Green Maker or PPF. I even emailed PureTime and Jennifer admitted she did not know what the real difference between Green Maker and PPF was, and was not sure if they were just using the same parts to make the watches or using different components.
