You're Saying I Can Sell?

I am curious if anybody has purchased the latest ZF red Tudor black Bay Shield Edition. As far as I know, this model is listed as a super replica 1:1. I looked at the photos on pure time and I think it looks great, my only problem is that the text on the dial and the logo Shield look flat, as if they have no dimension. Every time I watch a video of the genuine version it is noticeable that the text is almost 3D embossed. It seems to stand and pop ever-so-slightly from the dial. It almost looks as if I could run my hand across it and feel the logo and text. When I see the close up pictures of the ZF Shield version, it looks to be completely flat. Has anyone purchased this and can confirm that the text has the same effect as the genuine? I know when I look at the New zf Black Bay 58 it appears in the pictures to have the effect I am talking about. Any comments or pictures of the recent ZF red black Bay Shield would be greatly appreciated.

Only BB S&G and 58 do have this nice raised printing, other dials are flat.

Really? Doesn't the latest ZF BB Red Shield edition have the raised printing as well? Isn't this one of the reasons why this model is considered a superrep?

I do not pay any attention to superrep or not. There are good threads dedicated to details of S&G and the details of red shield, so you can see how much nicer S&G dial in.
