Official 5711 PPF V2 Thread

[roflwaffles]

I believe it's because of the inventory issues that PPF is running into - I'm gonna follow up tomorrow if there isn't an update.

Wouldn’t bother. It’s going to be atleast 2 weeks

Just received my V2 from Toro's. Wonderful watch. I loved V1 very much but V2 is beyond my expectations. The dial looks greyish-blue on V2 but looks grey on the pictures.
Here are some quick pictures made this morning in various light conditions.
The second hand seems slightly thinner on V2 (because of darker background?)

V1 on the LEFT / V2 on the RIGHT

Excellent comparative pictures. I'm sure it will be helpful to those wanting to learn how to differentiate between the v1 and v2.

You better start reading and find out that those questions are answered more than it does good to the forum.

Own a v1 and it's beautiful. Haven't decided if I like v1 more, v2 seems so greyish...

could you do a side by side of the clasp. I don’t expect much difference but I’m curious of the possibility

 

[SuperLory]

hands look ever slightly so thinner indeed tho

Sure I'll do that asap.
In the meantime, some more pictures to point out the dial colour difference between V1 and V2..

Tudor17 Thx man for the amazing pictures. I'm a blue dial fan, but the V2 dial suits me more, seeing your pictures. It is more "stylish" . I cannot describe it.

I know it is a matter of taste, but what is your thought on the two dials. You can judge them in real life. Lucky you hahahahaha

 

[MisterFancypantsthesecond]

it seems indeed more grey, but also more dull.. Maybe the pictures can't do it justice.. I've seen the gen irl already a couple of times and its way .. wel 'more'.

you're welcome.

What you say matches exactly what I feel about V2. This version is more stylish indeed, less obvious. V1 blue looks nice but slightly cheaper.

Yes I can enjoy my 2 Nautilus replicas but have never seen a genuine one for real and cannot compare with the gen blue dial.

 

[stanevo6]

Thanks for your answer Tudor17 . I hear you

When I signed up at RWI two years ago or so, I am following the several PP threads. My goal is to get a PP as close to gen possible. (without modding that is)

I think the ppf v2 is as close as it is. Ok, bezel and crown could be fixed in a v3 version perhaps. the dial on the v2 is so nice. will wait a little bit longer and than, at last I will pul the trigger.
A well thought desision hahahaha.

I have never ever seen a Gen too.

Cheers

Thanks for the comparison. The lighting captures the true color of the dial perfectly in this photo. I'm not sure how to accurately describe it but I still think they need to add a touch of the "turquoise/greenish" gradient. From what I've seen in the flesh both versions of the gen still project the "turquoise/greenish" hue when the light reflects the dial where as the V1 and V2 still looks somewhat purple. But overall I think that is an excellent rep!

I was able to capture it on my old MK V5 at the right angle/lighting to show you what I mean.

 

[stanevo6]

that dial on the MK V5 is stunning. The picture is also amazing. What a hobby :shuffle:

 

[molivio]

Can I put the mkv5 dial onto the ppf?

 

[mottykytu]

Can I put the mkv5 dial onto the ppf?

for what I don't know? I do not think the case of MKV5 is so bad compare to the PPF
