the back engravings on the ZF look good.
the current ZF bezel color is awful.
but it's not the final version, the blue Bezel and dial color will be updated to very close to genuine in final stock version.
Stock will arrive on 18th June 2016

so let's wait a couple weeks to see what they come up with.

I have the KW / V6F. My only issue are the solid end link gaps. They're too big.

A cleaner photo I just made to study...

My initial thoughts on the front side: Bezel and dial print is different between the two...

this issue is that ZF didn't mention anything about the print, they only said they will improve the color!!

Looking at pics of gen, looks like the dial font should be a bit bold, so looks like ZF is more accurate:
It has already been confirmed that colour-wise the ZF is more correct, and with better caseback engravings and a free blue rubber strap, I think the ZF wins.

V6F have done a very good job of matching the blue of the bezel and dial, unfortunately the gen has slightly different shade of blue on the bezel and dial, which ZF has replicated. looking from the photos on watchbus it looks like ZF dissected a gen to match the colour.

you're right I've browsed many gen pics, and yes the font is a bit bold[emoji1303]

It's ZF for me. The colour, the SEL's, the dial print.

I'm going to pull the trigger!
