it’s normal to have imperfections. Check the watchfinder video where he compares Royal oak with the nautilus at 2:08min, you will see crooked 12 o’clock markers in gen.

I would be interested in how to get this rotor off, sometimes the watch only has a power reserve of 5 to 6 hours
Hi, received my QC pics today - my concerns are:
1. crooked 12 marker - just about ok or request new one?
2. Blue dial seems a deeper blue and less gen than other v4 dials I've seen. This is my primary concern.
Thanks

Hi. Is anyone knows how to calibrate the a324 on this pp 5517. It is running 5mins faster per hour
Is it from the screw on the zoomed picture

Same question. Anyone knows how to?

your markers are great, no issue there
Don't judge a colour on a QC picture taken with harsh lights, that's not how it looks like on real life
This Patek actually uses a Miyota 9015, no clue why the poster above said it's a A324.
Anyhow, mine is getting slower the more the power reserve unwinds (by about -45 seconds/day) from full to half full. Anyone experience something like this? Can't even regulate the watch, if I have to keep in in the same power reserve status all the time.

donT touch the screw, it will loosen the balancespring cock.
move the green marked lever.
be carefull not to touch the spring.
even a tenth of a millimeter will result in change of up to a minute per day.
It is a good idea to grease the seal when you close the watch.
(mine was about 25 seconds too fast when it was delivered and the overall power reserve is a bit poor.)

Does anyone know if PPF upgraded their blue dial when comparing V4 vs V3? Or was the upgraded limited to the ceramic ball bearing?

Thanks mate. Should have caught that. Too much whiskey and too little reading. My bad.

Unless the movement has changed, that's not correct I'm afraid. The lever you have circled is for the beat error, probably best not to mess with that without a Timegrapher. I know it's confusing because the look of the levers has been changed to make them look more like the Gen movement, but on the Miyota it's the wide upper lever that regulates the time, the thinner lower one changes the beat error.

The watch has winding issues, the gears don't interlock sometimes. You need to wind it until you hear the mainspring ticking
Then the power reserve is about 48h and accuracy is improved a lot, mine is just as accurate as a gen Omega

Got this baby today.
Superhappy with it, loud rotor - same as ZF ap’s but solid movement.

I just found a way to 100% silence the rotor. But DO NOT try to unscrew the rotor! It's screw is only glued on decoration, I scratched mine while trying to unscrew.
The rotor is press fitted into its bearing, you can gently lift it with a screwdriver.
Then I took a .45mm syringe needle and generously applied 3 tiny droplets of Molykote DX Lithium Paste onto the ball bearing slit, then pushed it between the bearing balls with the needle tip. I put a small strip of Kapton tape on the underside of the rotor to cancel its resonance which worked surprisingly well (I thought of this trick from my drumming times, when we used tape to shorten cymbal decay).
Pressed the rotor on again with a plastic rod, spun a few times, wiped off residue paste and reassembled.
Recommend this fix 10/10, beginner friendly, just make sure you got the proper case opening tool, mine fit like 60% exact and was a pain.

With all due respect, your presentation is completely wrong.
the gen watch has no lever at all to regulate the rate, regulation takes place via u-shaped rings on the balance wheel itself.
on the rep, the spiral spring is attached to the lever with the 2 screw heads and then runs through the loop of the speed regulating lever.
almost counter-clockwise (seen from the fastening lever) exactly the other way around as with the unmodified miyota 9015.
so the speed is regulated with the lever circled in green by me and the beat error with the one with the 2 screw heads.
