On that video, crown is protruding more than MKF.
Every else is much better than MKF quality.

Yes, it it just by a fraction but now cannot be unseen!

My worst nightmare:

Sitting on a terras, drinking a wine and wearing my PPF / PF / MK PP. And all the other guests on the terras, In my mind that is, are the RWI PP specialists, looking at me without any emotion.
They are all good and handsome looking folks, with amazing girlfriends. All of them wear PP's. And all of them look at my PP. Am I called out??

Than I wake up. Thx God its only a dream.

What a knowledge on this forum. Amazing.
Sleep easy as it wouldn’t matter, as there wouldn’t be one GEN PP there

I think it’s safe to say we ALL hope that guys watch is a real PPF, but are all holding off on true excitement until the formal announcement this week by the TDs.

Sorry to let you guys down, that's not the blue dial from ppf and the watch has not even complied yet lol.

if the color is right, no one on your wrist can tell you if you have a gen or a rep

I can safe to say the white dial is identical to the gen, like 99% accurate if not identical, since PPF is replicating using the gen white dial.

With the crown, is it because the tube protrudes too much from the mid-case or is it because the crown itself is too thick? I actually do not think it is such a big task for a competent watchmaker with the proper tools to remedy this.

Based on the pictures, I think the crown is too thick as it protrudes as it sits flush against the case which probably makes it impossible to fix. Albeit i'm not a watchmaker like you.....

Actual thickness is 8.87mm, unless this guy is measuring wrong or there's some plastic stickers on the watch :eek: but the bracelet looks very flexible indeed. So guy with skinny writs probably won't have to worry.



Actually it's MKS and not PF.
The tolerance for each watch is a little bit different, some measure with 8.87 and some 8.6, so it really depends on your luck ;).
To be honest, no one would call you out with the 0.2mm thickness differences lol, you can barely see the differences even for 1mm.

I agree. The font is just slightly thinner however the size fills the date window just like the gens.

yes, I also found the font of the date wheel quite thin (a bit weird), but the size is good enough to fill in the square.


I'll answer some other question as well:

The crown is actually slightly bigger and when screwing in it's not as deep as PF, that's why it protrudes a little bit, but I don't really see that as a problem, not as noticeable as the pusher on the arf's daytona, if you get what I mean.

The bracelet is so damn flexible, as the internal structure is identical to gen, so it fits any people with small wrist.

The polishing is close, but of course you can't compare the real deal to a replica haha

I think if the crown is too long, modders can shave the inside of the crown and maybe shorten the stem too. But im no modder, so i dont know the technicalities.

it is actually acceptable, the crown is not really a big deal when you see the watch in person.

So...watch is 8.87mm, meaning this is actually the same movement as the aquanaut and the calatrava ZF has released recently
