PPF? from who?
Looks like the tone of the lume is improved and lost its greenish hue, maybe a bit too dark still but that might be auto hdr on a camera. Numbers look good, but 11 is crooked in a way the others weren’t. The movement looks better than the other PPf which is a mystery to me.
Strap is a huge improvement over hkf. Closer to gen. Except for the odd pink leather backing.
Curios what’s going on here. If this is PPf there seems to be a lot of model variances .

I ordered the HKF via PT however the QCs looks a bit more like PPF. In short this watch looks amazing at this price point. It’s lit AF. I’m very happy. Strap looks great.
This is what I thought! It appears to be an HKF v2 of sorts with updates from the PPF dial and strap but hkf case and movement

Might be a mix & match during the Covid outbreak in CN now. QCs took 4+weeks.

My approved QC's from Steve last week (PPF) took less than a week from order.
Wow this one is nearly spot on. A hair thicker and crown is bigger but otherwise this looks very satisfying. Problem is there seems to be some of variances here…My approved QC's from Steve last week (PPF) took less than a week from order.

I'm glad you think it looks good -- it does to me but I have a less discerning eye. The main thing for me is the consistency and application of lume. I'll measure it when it arrives and let you know thickness, etc.

This arrived today. I like it/ am getting used to the new, more casual look.
My caliper measures the case at 40mm, lugs at 21mm, buckle at 16mm, and thickness at 10mm. The thickness was surprising as the gen is 8.53mm, and this doesn't feel like 10mm due to the case's top and bottom both being beveled -- it looks thinner. Nice new catch
My god, it’s wonderful.

But I have to wait all through lunar new years to get one.
Can we get shots of side and back
How is the strap? It doesn't look half bad

The strap is surprisingly good for a rep. Still not hand-made quality like CF but quite acceptable and wearable.
Digging it? I think I’ve talked myself into it even though I’ll be a bit self conscious wearing a $55k retail rep

Back and sides as requested.
Note the two piece case construction and see how the case back and lugs are one single piece? Pretty cool but when anyone figures out how to open it, please let me know

Hkf is slightly slimmer and very slightly more accurate case but the rest of its faults make it far worse than PPF as far as I can see
Hamilton too?? Which direction is Patric & Phillip looking nowadays
