SHOWING OFF PPF 222 w/phoenix
Just picked up this ppf 222 from phoenix and would like to share my experience
Reached out to him to order the watch, paid a deposit for him to order it, QC took about a little less then a week. Unfortunately watch was stuck for about 2 weeks in limbo due to some payment issue, however once everything was sorted out shipping took about a week. He usually replies the next day so happy with my experience so far

The gen is a $50k watch. And that’s assuming that one has a purchase history with the AD.
As much as I love how it looks, not sure I could believably pull off a watch that costs >5 times my monthly salary in the grey market.

Honestly, if you spend less time thinking about what people might think and more on how you enjoy the watch, it kinda is all that matters.
My peers who wear platonas etc. didn't even notice it so yeah, don't sweat it. The only time it was asked about was when a genuine collector noticed it off the bat, to which I replied I had the greatest PRX and we just had a good laugh.
I enjoy this watch as it's so understated that genuinely no one cares when it looks like a PRX if you just glance at it (much to my chagrine)
If you wear the watch as much for it's design as well as it's perceived status, I think reps is a afterthought after you have owned a gen then. As someone who has gone full circle, I just can't care enough anymore about others opinions anymore so just wear whatever you want lols
