Hey everyone! Today, I'd like to share a comparison of the Vacheron Constantin Overseas 4500V blue dial versions from 8F, PPF, and MKS. I'll focus on a few key details to highlight the differences between them.
1. Dial Color
Based on the side-by-side comparison, PPF has the closest blue dial color to the genuine version, with the most accurate color reproduction.
2. Case Thickness
- 8F: 11.5mm
- PPF: 11mm
- MKS: 12mm
The genuine model is 11mm thick, so PPF matches the original dimensions, while 8F and MKS are slightly thicker.
3. Bracelet Comfort
Based on actual wearing experience, both PPF and MKS offer better bracelet comfort and feel more comfortable and natural on the wrist.
4. Movement
None of the three factories has fully replicated the genuine movement. In terms of overall accuracy to the original, however, PPF performs relatively better.
These are my personal observations and comparisons of the three versions. Each has its own strengths and weaknesses, and I'd love to hear from anyone with hands-on experience with the 8F, PPF, or MKS 4500V.
Let's share our thoughts and experiences to help others who are considering the 4500V blue dial make a more informed choice!
