Is the CNC case worth it comparing to the ppf ?
I have the CNC case in my build , will report back once I receive the watch. But the CNC case is gen spec construction. It is very troublesome from a watchmaker's perspective. You will need to remove the top case to remove the dial and then remove the screws holding back to caseback

The normal movement fits it too.

The advantage of the CNC Case is just 1. Gen spec thickness. The way they construct the case to gen specs has allowed them to be Gen spec thickness at around 8.5-8.6. PPF stock case is around 9- 9.2mm. Visually, it is indistinguishable.

The difference is in the case. The ppf /zf case employs a screw down case back which the drawback is that it will be thicker as they need the thickness to create the screw threads.

One question: the moon disk is a 30 days phase disk? Or 29 or 31?

I know this page, thanks. I just wanted to know, how often I have to adjust the moon phase disk to the real moonphase. Ok, I will see
It is a clone that's why he sent you the pp website. You can expect it to work like the gen - otherwise the whole mechanism would come out of balance.

Two years since release and PPF still haven't updated the colour of the moonphase disc?

Would've expected the feedback to have reached PPF by now.

Actually the rumor is that they will never make it too perfect otherwise they'll crack down. They want a rep you can fool people with but not scam with.

They make it 90% of the way there and let modders do the rest.

There's many mods for it anyways if you want a swap.

They should then lower their price because modding is expensive
