Probably not is my guess. There has been a lot of comments/concerns on the first bracelet mid-link to be too big (wide) on the 3K. This means the 3K case cut-out is wider too.

Would be nice to know for sure. If anyone has a ppf/pf bracelet to send me or sell it, I am happy to test it on my 3k watch.

The watch is beautiful .

Yes the first link is slightly large and no engraving on the movement. But the crown is perfect so is the case , dial, markers, hands and movement
Beautiful indeed. Not sure why these morons would mess up the first link though.

Nah, its intentional. Next version will have fixed first link but fudged up crown guards.

I don't concur with that theory . The PPF has had the wrong crown for 4 versions.

If they could make it perfect they would. But it is not easy to get everything right.

PPF V3 had a right-shifted white dial. Now the PPF V4 has an up-shifted white dial.

Pfff... So what am I to do? Which one is actually the best buy? White 3KF VS White PPF V4? I like the movement of 3KF over PPF’s, but the dial seems more accurate on the PPF. ow what to do....?

The PFF crown has the protruding problem, but the cut for the crown between the crown guards has a more correct shape on PFF than 3KF. The 3KF cut narrows down a bit too much.

That does make sense. I am not sure why the protruding crown is an issue they haven’t fixed yet. It looks like an easy improvement to do.
