Righto chief! Is three excessive? I like the idea of the 116520 white dial on a racing strap...the 116500LN on an oysterflex and the panda au natural.

Gen for your reference ,

The black dial is tricky though as in gen it is reflective and matte under certain lighting conditions which is really hard to replicate

They have done a lot better job with the white one , will be 100% once watches are in hand though

I can see what you mean, there is a greyish tinge to it, but I think it could be the lighting, if the photo is taken under flourescent bulbs this could be the case as is likely in the GZ factory.


in fact it is what we others are waiting for ..
by now we have already said enough about this panda, at least it is so until we have real photos to evaluate

I have already lined up one of these to go with it!

from reddit. hopefully they change this with following version

LOL.

I'm one of the biggest nitpickers there are and the first to point out minor flaws.

It's SO obvious in this photo the lighting is different. Look at the difference in temperature between the bracelets.

I actually quite like the warmer tone of the lume in the Clean pic as well. But in reality without being under a loupe or giantic on a computer screen, this will not be noticed in the slightest!

I read somewhere that the font is thicker/more bold on the gen, that is correct for the older dials. The 2021 dial has thinner font. The thickness of the font looks correct to me compared to the 2021 dial.
