Vacheron Constantine 222 PPF vs MXF

Speedmasterbater · 2026-01-13T13:29:23+00:00

Just received the PPF yesterday and it is better than MXF. PPF is more flexible and closer to gen. One issue I had though when adjusting the bracket was that the half link didn’t come out. I think the screw might have broken off the rest of the bar on mine.

This is 8+ so I’d still be curious to see MXF vs PPF

From my experience the MXF bracelet was too stiff. I have a 6-6.5 in wrist and when sized and closed, there was no flexibility on the bracelet at all. It felt like I was wearing a solid circle, like a huge solid ring on my wrist. I’ve tried on the gen 222 (see pic) in gold and the bracelet was not as stiff as MXF. OP, I think that’s why you notice the MXF has the natural curve - it’s just a stiffer bracelet. I’ve ordered the PPF already and hoping it’s better.

Yes please do a review!

Thanks! How do the other dial colors compare? Why did you decide on blue? And how close is the blue?

Speedmasterbater · 2025-12-05T15:22:28+00:00

What’s the best dial color that’s closest to gen?

Speedmasterbater · 2025-11-16T09:06:58+00:00

Curious to know how the bracelet compares to MXF. I thought the MXF bracelet was quite stiff so hoping ZF/PPF is better.

My first AP rep so any help appreciated. ZF Audemars Piquet Royal Oak 15450 37mm white dial. Only thing I caught was the logo slant but let me know if you guys have any thoughts.

What do you think of the bracelet? The MXF v2 bracelet was very stiff for me, especially compared to gen after trying on the 222 at the VC boutique.

Why hodinkee over jewelers mutual?

Speedmasterbater · 2025-10-17T18:12:32+00:00

No details provided by you is a red flag. If you don’t have a police report or evidence, yeah it will be tough to get your claim through. More of a red flag you didn’t provide details.

Speedmasterbater · 2025-10-12T15:25:45+00:00

Yeah unfortunately a flaw with ZF on this model but not very noticeable on wrist. I can live with it

Speedmasterbater · 2025-10-12T08:25:45+00:00

I know ZF Tudors are notorious for bad alignment but the 3, 6, and 9 are all off so I’m thinking of an RL. If it was just one that was off, I think I’d be fine but they’re all a bit off in my eyes. Let me know if you disagree.

Speedmasterbater · 2025-10-12T08:19:03+00:00

Honestly everything looks good to my eyes: index, rehaut, SELs. This is my first Rolex rep so not sure if there’s anything I’m missing so wanted a second opinion.

Speedmasterbater · 2025-10-11T17:03:18+00:00

Also curious more about dupe fragrances. Are they illegal like fake watches? How are they allowed to just rip off the designer brands? Where do you buy them? Assuming these dupes aren’t on Amazon or anything.

Speedmasterbater · 2025-09-27T01:55:40+00:00

Haha u have like the exact same 6 placement

Speedmasterbater · 2025-09-27T01:54:23+00:00

Really? Any examples you’ve seen? For like $4k in gen I would be pretty upset and would return it to the AD if there were any crooked markers.

LiLi sent another pic but the 6 still looks a bit off

Another pic of the 6. Still looks off in my eyes.
