To my untrained eye I think this looks great! When did you buy it and where from?I got the gray ZF and think it looks great.

I just got my grey APSF 15510 in the mail, and I have to say, while the watch is overall gorgeous, the dial is a bit disappointing.
Under artificial/indoor light, the dial is dark grey and almost matte or plastic looking with pretty much no sunburst to speak of. Under direct sunlight, the sunburst is more pronounced, but it's still nowhere near the gen grey dial. It's as if it's missing the polished surface on each square of the tapisserie that the gen has.
This is also the only watch I own where I can't get a perfect fit on the bracelet. Because there are no micro adjustments or 1/2 links, the watch either fits slightly too loose or slightly too tight on my 6.5" wrist. I'm opting for slightly too loose, being as that it's summer here in Texas, and I and likely to "swell" up in this heat to fit it better during the day

This first picture is under strong indoor light. The light is a 3000k led overhead light, similar in hue to a normal indoor light.
This second picture is under strong florescent light. Not sure of the kelvin, but it's your typical white florescent lighting.
This last picture is in direct sunlight. As you can see, the sunburst is there. It's just nowhere near as strong as the gen dial.

Afaik the DP custom dial has a better sunburst.

I think the ZF posted by AggressiveTiger looks great. The DP dial squares are much too small IMO. You're trading off one flaw for another and it's not worth the money unlike say Buff 5711 dials. I think the recent ZFs (16202, 15500 V3, 15510) have better gloss and sunburst than their older dials. AggressiveTiger's looks way way better than the grey 15500 V2 I had.
Actually S I think your comment on the DP dial is valid. It’s the closest visually and yes passable in real life.Haha, nothing compares to gen.
