There's too much black surround on the one on the left. Can't really tell how accurate either blue shade is as it depends too much on the light

I'm guessing the left one is a recent buff dial--they've been exaggerating the color gradient on the dial (too dark on the edges, too light in the center). The one on the right is probably closer but not as good as ppf

One on left is too gray, too much gradient. One on right is too dark, not enough green, text is wrong (notice the A).

Wish I could find this batch from a year ago.

The gen boxed logo dial is less green than prior non boxed dials, keep that in mind

I think that there is a lot of confusion about the 5711 blue dials.. marks..colors ecc ecc.. There is one 3k that is 95% identical to a specific 5711 mark gen dial.. but people removed them..

3K stock color is quite nice, I agree. But the printing is weak and markers are just poo.

Yes.. but some dials have a good printing and the markers can be adjusted. Just need to find the good one as a base for some adjustments
