I’ve ordered one of these and the dial colour has been worrying me. Not sure if it’s too grey?!? Also a lot of the pictures the dial looks really flat, without the radiating shimmer of the gen. But then in the last pic on the rate check it looks really nice and has the correct shimmer. So confusing!!!

This pic kinda illustrates what I’m chatting about...
Gen on the left, see it has a kinda sunburst shine, then the PPF seems flat?! I had a V1 and it had the sunburst, I just hope the V3 does have it and it’s just bad photos!!!

One on the left is a pre 2019 dial, recognizable by the logo that is not boxed. The PPF replicates the 2019 model, which has a different shade of blue and sunburst
He just used that pic as an example for the shine on the dial, not for the color really, on the left one, you can see how the sunburst brushing is showing, while on the right, it looks like the dial is a mate blue color without any brushing
Sure, but if the shade of blue is different, we can't expect the sunburst to be comparable either. They're using different paints that reflect light in different ways, so no point comparing dials from 2 different versions, even if it's for the sunburst
btw the PPF V2/3 has sunburst has we've seen on many pictures. This one just doesn't highlight it
But will wait and see when mine arrives, too late now anyway it’s bought and paid for!

I miss it already!!

Dont worry mate. You will be fine. My qc on the ppf V2 left me worrying too. I was relieved as I unboxed it.
jm_brc_7057 Cheers mate. I think part of my worry is how little blue there actually is in the dial, it’s like someone’s turned the saturation way down, but I also know how different they look in person versus pictures. At least I can see the sunburst is ok

Good to hear it helped you on the sunburst issue
But seriously buddy. You should see the gen. It's very grey and dark.
You have to forget your old 5711 which is very blue or you will get disappointed I'm afraid. This is not at all that blue. But neither is the gen.
Watchfinder & Co has made a video that really shows the dial color well. I think it will help you 'accept' the color when your watch arrives.

I haven’t seen that many picture of it to be fair, and in a lot of the pictures I have seen it looks flat, even in sunlight (someone posted an outdoor picture on another thread) which is why I’ve been worried.
But will wait and see when mine arrives, too late now anyway it’s bought and paid for!
