Every picture released so far suggests otherwise. The dial looks very purple. I've asked my TD to hold fire until more pictures are released.

Hold fire go to the back of the queue?

That’s what QCs are for bud

Can you refuse a watch if you don't like the dial colour and change to a different model?

QC is for checking for factory mistakes like misaligned markers, scratches etc

End of June can’t come soon enough! Hope those QC pics start getting posted soon. I think this is going to be my first rep, I’m just torn between the v1 from 3KF for $488 or waiting a few months and shelling out $700+
for this v2 version… the $200 delta has been eating away at me, anyone care to share their thoughts. Anyone own the 3KF? does the PR and other complications work like the gen for you?

I've never heard of this 3KF version. I'd suggest you to wait until PPF v2 is released. Anyway, PPF v1 has a killer dial which cannot be seen in other Nautilus reps, including modded dials.

Dial proportions are really off
Don’t believe power reserve works

And never seen this website

Bro, don't waste your time on this 3kf version. Well worth saving money for the PPF renditions.

Alright, advice taken. I'll drop the option and plunk down the extra 200... but please teach me, can you tell me what you guys look for in these images that would be red-flags? Or what questions would you ask TD to rank this model?

They note that the correct engraving will be done on the final version. Whether the correct dial color will be there is another question.

Did a very quick comparison.. what do you guys think?

The balance wheel weights are how the fee sprung balance is regulated. So no replica have that sort of tech that I know of, it’s very expensive to produce apparently.
So no replica to this date will have that and is fine.

Rolex 4130, 3135, 3235 and probably a few other watches can take a gen balance wheel and bridge, which is one of the ultimate mods in my opinion.

Just don’t think anyone can source a Patek balance and wheel for sale and if they find it will be thousands… hard levels of will to make that mod.


About the engraving it should be complete on the final product.
As for color I this is the same, it will get fixed.

The color of the dial is what we see in the TD photos. Don't expect it to be any different, it will have a horrible blue purplish color

I’m most excited about a working PR and the 8.8mm thickness. Deco plates don’t really bother me. Hope they copy the v1 dial
