I'm looking at buying a blue ombre, who would you say has the best dial?
No one has it correct yet. Honestly it's not close on any factory. If you can source custom dials I have seen for around $500 on their own.

Is it possible to zoom in more and make some redditlike-red lines?
God, thats hillarious what your expectations are.

The Date Number, ok i am with you, but on the day wheel you see pink elephants flying thru the air :D
I'm sorry but I don't agree with you. If other factories can have a good day wheel why can't THB for the highest price? If you normalize paying for something that is obviously incorrect then they factories will never fix the flaws. Here is a video from further away. If you can't see the difference sizing and especially the "a" issues then I don't know what to tell you.https://streamable.com/8c54en

THB blue ombré dial is not that bad.


Even custom dials don't get it exactly right

Yes the Ombre dial looks fine to me. I was just wondering what's wrong with the day wheel in my QC picture. I feel the only problem is the date alignment......

The varying thickness of the font especially the A. If you can't see anything wrong with it I would go with it. It's a beauty

ARF using different day and date overlays on their DD models too and they also have their fair share of alignment issues. Just have to get lucky I guess

Does the THB have any coating/plating on the stainless steel? TD states white gold but what- if anything is it?

I'm not sure that's true - all the ones I've seen did not have the white gold hue.

The QF day disc font is a bit too thin compared to GEN. My seller tells me some GEN has thin day disc also. Can someone confirm?

Did anyone get a better V3 THB yet? I just received new QC pics after I red lighted the first watch due to Day- and date window alignment issues.
I'm not sure if this new watch is any better (date still shows too low and not centered), I asked for more pics off the day and date windows i.e. 10's and 20's dates.

THB v3 seems to have major problems. I'm thinking of changing my order to the GMF version, might not be as heavy but at least everything is centered and the fonts are good.
