I think you got that backwards. The PPF movement is closer to gen than the HKF movement.

definitely not. The red part at one of the bigger wheels is completely missing.

Hard for me to pull off wearing a $35k retail watch

Here you go. I just got my QCs for the PPF version.

Beautiful! I've got a PPF on order and am looking forward to trying this.

Merry Christmas!

The 11 looks like one part is sunk

Looks like it had the index numbers right now. Plus the seconds index is thicker. Juries still out on the lume color but looks to be much less green than the hkf. Since in the comparison pick the hkf is a doctored image vs the raw qc pic of the PPF.

Movement seems to be a draw to me with edge to hkf but will see with a better image.

Curious on thickness comparison when you get it. But overall seems like an all points upgrade to the HKF.

That is what I was thinking to @Chris8535 - Not to mention the HKF has the weird crown thing where it sticks out 1mm. All signs point to an upgrade on the PPF, so I may wait until I get that one in a couple of weeks before I plate it WG.

Here is a more even comparison. I had to go back and find my old QCs for the HKF. But here it is HKF left and PPF right

Here are some details of my HKF

also at the ten as at the eleven the numbers are not on the same height. I would not approve this QC

Since you have one, you should know that the light isn't bending the same on the numbers and the metal around it. I have QCs of the HKF that look precisely the same way, and that came out just fine. Holding the watch at certain angles changes that visual.

Hell, even your pics above on your HKF show the zero on the 10 is a different height.

10 could maybe fine but looks strange. But 11 is obviously that the I‘s are not on the same level. My pictures just show the HKF

 

[Chris8535]

The 11 misalignment seems to be on every PPF. It’s even on puretimes shots on the site.

 

[moci007]

Oh wow that would be horrible if it would be on every watch like that.

Not uncommon my GRF had the exact same index misalignment on every single version I asked for. Can I could tell from the lume paintings it wasn’t the same watch over and over.

 

[moci007]

I Wanted to post some more Pics of the HKF

Really great shots. You have a lighting setup?

Only thing frustrating about this model is that the lume in direct sunlight or very lowlight gets this really ugly yellow green hue to it. It’s wild th try couldnt just like this light crème like the gen. It’s almost like they made it this color on purpose
