What do you mean? There is defintely sunburst on the ZF. Only the sub dials dont have any but no-one is going to know. You will 99.9% never see anyone else with this watch on let alone compare dials for closer than a few feet away. Just buy it and enjoy.
Sorry I mean the dial do have sunburst the subdial do not have. If you check videos of 5009 petite prince you see both dial and subdials do have sunburst

For those complaining about the "sunburst" on the sundials.. I have found many gens that don't have it.. I think it's just an effect of certain light conditions, but under normal there is none.. Also it seems like the sunburst in the dial is also subtle..

Agreed, I just recently held a gen and this is what I noticed too. Listen to veterans like rhc22 and shewie who confirmed the same.

The dial is pretty good actually...compared to much 'bigger' tells: the caseback, and day/date wheel being the wrong font.

I've got the V6F so if I end up buying a ZF I will change the casebacks around.

^ It should. Case dimensions should be exactly the same. Wouldnt be surprised if its the same case maker even. I believe they outsource each part so midcase/caseback/crystal etc etc to different or the same manufacturers. Obviously the caseback manufacturers are different but the midcase might be the same.

Like most PAMs. ZF and KW casebacks are interchangable

I do my best not to post something snarky when people complain about a bum watch.... But... Look, I feel for you. It sucks when something comes DOA or there's a problem. But this is totally part of the game. The truth is that we represent a minority in the replica watch market - people expecting high quality for a bit more money. The canal street knock offs are a much more lucrative business. Our makers are in a niche market, but have to deal with the same hurdles. They are basically outlaws trying to get a better product to market. Everything I've read tells me that none of these "factories" work in a typical fashion, but operate covertly with a hodgepodge of suppliers and engravers and probably mobile operations... I've seen pics if these watches being put together in living rooms.

So, yes, we are bound to have QC problems with any watch, regardless of the reputation of the "factory"...

It's an f'n miracle this or any high end rep is as good as it is. Take those flaws with a grain of salt, guys...

Trying to resist.. I hope new 2016 version won't delay too much since I find its dial less busy and more clean.. Even if the specific font number of the current version is also very nice
