Stock meaning what?
Found it in your kitchen or did somebody actually manufacture that? ;)
It is left over from my build from Legend, when creating Gen dial version. So stock meaning 15202 zf.

I am doing swap right now / I am pretty sure AMF dial base is ZF, tapie looms diff on DP

I never actually looked at it until today.

AMf / Gen dial / Stock

So to confirm, left most on your wrist is AMF, center is gen, and right most is stock? Does that mean XF or ZF?

Funny, to my eyes all three have different qualities that recall the gens I have seen in person. I think that, if nothing else, this experience just underscores how subjective it is, particularly when dealing with pictures!

I guess this is time for me!

AMf / Gen dial / Stock

I did not even care to look at stock. But… I think I like stock…?



Which factory is stock? ZF or XF? other?

Also we know obtaining gen is nearly impossible, so yes would say whatever is "stock" in this case is more than fine

For reference @legend refinished dial after a 2016 gen

Sunburst looks great, but as you say the lume needs to be fixed. The XF 15202 is definitely a keeper.
It has been hard to let it go off my wrist, but I plan to send to Legend for relume. I am just unsure what else to mod?

That really is a sunburst.
Unlike the other dials.
If I were AP, I would go for exactly this effect.

I kind of asked this between the lines:
Will this dial also work with my 16202?
I would suppose it will, but better ask than sorry.
Afaik it should fit but !'m not absolutely sure. Maybe @legend can confirm. Anyway, I've heard the DP dials are out of production and idk which the best factory alternative is.

There is a video shown YouTube on how AP dials are manufactured, there is a link to the video somewhere on this sub-forum. It is a meticulous and expensive process as many who have seen the video can attest. I was wondering of the feasibility of duplicating this process can be done by the replica watch dial manufacturers.

I wanted to add photos of my XF V1, I have no idea how this is useful to anybody and please do not kill me as the lume needs to be fixed! I am curious how this dial compares to anything from stock ZF, to DP etc.

this is the closest to the real deal imo ...
The gen dial is very dark and the reflections are created by the way it is machined and the painting process..... the shotbelow might help to understand ....

Excellent dial indeed. Should consider changing the datewheel as the gen uses one with navy blue background.

What is the build specification ?
Not my build. I have this ZF 15202 titanium. I’m contemplating brushing the bezel and swapping in the textured SW dial above. Love the lightweight titanium.

Can’t find a date wheel like this anywhere…

I’ve got XF relumed, ZF, AMF, and DP v2, and I’m LOVING the XF. Thought it was considered lesser than ZF or AMF given the difference in the tapisserie but IRL it’s great
