Regarding the quality for sure I feel it better, the bracelet, the case, the crown, the finish is better I’m a little concern about the dial. The dial is a chameleon and for sure from pictures you cannot judge it

Do they have the same case size buddy?

The V2 has better printing and generally looks more premium to me than V1

Today I receive my V2 below you can find in direct comparison with my V1 (v2 on the left) it’s not so purple in real life

This post highlights how the v1 dial completely destroys the v2. V2 looks washed and purple. V1 is crisp and deep

Based on the above pictures from daylight we can see the clear purple color tint on V2. I really don't think I have ever seen any gen Patek with any purple color tint. I have not seen every gen Patek however lol.

Really I would not spend the money on V2 since this purple color in daylight is very apparent and noticeable.

I received the QC Images today.

My order is from June 4th. No change with the previous batch. We hope there will be improvements in the V3. It's really a shame, you get a great result with the dial in v1, then you greatly improve the movement, thickness, and you miss the color of the dial so clearly.

For me PPF is a factory of chinese scammers! Fu**

Same here. I'm holding onto my V1 until they fix the issue. I don't care what anyone says, or tries to justify, but the dial clearly has a purple tint. For me, it's horrendous.

Does anyone know if BUFF offer an aftermarket dial that beats both the V1 and V2?

I was going to comment on the PPF 5726 dial as well. I have this PPF 5726 blue dial and also the PPF 5712 V1, and despite the similarities in the picture above with the color blue to 5712 V2, the 5726 blue does not have purple tint color in it in the sunlight.

Yeah, the pics make it exceedingly clear that the v2 dial is purple as hell. Maybe they should sell it as the special "Prince edition".

I received mine today. I wouldn't call it a purple dial. More of a blackish/greyish blue.

Even on the Patek Website they call it a Black Blue dial and this is an accurate description for the rep.

Outdoors it looks grey.

It's an attractive watch regardless.
