Now that picture we'd like to see, the sunburst dial is a defining feature of this watch.
i bought the VSF v2 last year after all the hype how good of replica it was and there was NO sunburst dial effect so i sold it. really hoping that v3 has the sunburst effect. Anyone that has the latest version and can post a photo of the dial?

It's not clear whether the watch in the photos is the V2 or a V3 (V2 was released last year and did not have a sunburst dial as well).

also it seems to me the shade of blue is a bit different from gen, but still it's a great rep, not super, but great. How many 688 have you seen around? Myself, only twice at OP boutiques

I have V2 or as some dealers call it V2.5 (thinner lugs as initially V2 were sold in wrong case) and I can definitely see sun burst effect even at home and definitely there is effect visible in the sun.
I can definitely say that the colour of the gen dial is more turquoise than in rep and hands even though called rose gold look more yellow gold in gen.
I still enjoy mine as it runs within a second or two a day which is master chronometer accuracy, but find myself looking to get a gen blue Pam (unfortunately 688 sells for more than $13k these days).

oh nice. You have the gen too?
On the VSF version, can you “park” the gmt hand the same way you can on the gen? It looks like it on the pics in the op but who knows.

I don't have the gen and I mean by comparing to gen pictures and pictures here. for parking the gmt hand, I think it should work and I will let you know when I get it.

All blue dialed Pams are up there in price, aren't they? Are there any Panerai with a blue (or even grey) sunburst dial model that are near the low end of the Panerai price spectrum? Say between $5-8k.

There is a new model I’m thinking to get 1033 and another one 1058. It’s the same money as 1312 or 1320.

When you see the pic I just posted above, you see the GMT parked so it does work and it's a 12h GMT. Very nice and lovely watch.
