I think the best way to determine that is to compare a gen with the thin font and a PPS side by side.
Ppf date font is just slightly thinner than on gen.
its a little noticeable on the close up pics but you won’t notice too much difference on the wrist.

Forum members have pointed out flaws:
1. blue dial appears too purple and not enough grey.
2. bezel is too thick.
3. date font too thin.
Not too bad overall and we need to see the blue in better light. Otherwise, all fixable in V2.

Even they have Latest Gen Blue Dial in Hand impossible to match Gen , ZF iwc portuguese Blue repped from Gen and completely wrong , best choice White , otherwise Gen Dial .
The RG 5711 looks dark grey , and sometime chocolate..

This was said for years about the Rolex ice blue dial and looks good today. The MKF V6 5711 looks fine to me as well.

Agreed about the MKF Blue Dial. I also really liked the V6F dial, which in certain lights looks spot on. For reference, check out: https://forum.replica-watch.info/fo...patek-philippe-5711-nautilus-blue-dial-by-v6f

Please be aware that there are discrepancies within different Nautilus batches. As an illustration I've merged two pictures a small comparison. Rep on the left, gen on the right. And quite frankly, PPF have almost nailed it with this one. Hands seem great, markers also. They've even nailed the SWISS font and thickness below the 6 o'clock marker. The dial seems good also. The only thing that looks off is the date wheel font thickness. Yes, it's slightly slimmer. IMHO that's not a dealbreaker. But there'll probably be a solution for that if there's demand for a date wheel overlay. If we add the possibility that this watch might be 8.6mm thin then we have a real winner here. The bracelet looks more than good, fingers crossed that it'll turn out as flexible as the PF bracelets.
Will this be a NWBIG watch? Objectively speaking: no. The biggest issue would be the open caseback. But in all honesty: who really cares about that? We can all hope and pray that KW/V6F/XF will replicate the movement. But I for myself am much happier with a Miyota 9015, a movement which is easy to maintain and service.
All in all we should be grateful that there's finally an extremely close rep of the 5711. Albeit there's no blue dial PPF yet so we'll see what the future will bring.
To me it seems the hands are too short...

it is kind of a square shaped dial - you see that?
That is the reason why a circular rotating line (hands) in between has different distances to the outer edge in some positions. It is pretty much basic math/geometry.
You also say it is the fastest way to cross a road is by 90° and not to walk vertical through the traffic - sounds quite logical, doesn't it?

Not so sure...the minute position is quite the same (43 - 44) but i'm not that good about PP
