Ok, I spent last hours to read and research.... the sunburst is really light and after some videos (thx for this 3d) the difference is little. I captured some screenshot from gen videos and looks like too near to matte black. See this. The same thing is for the hands.
Well, the ZF Pelagos 39 turned up yesterday from @puretime. It was the third watch I received QC shots for, the previous two I rejected for the reasons above. In hindsight I should have rejected this one too. It had the same issue with the endlink corner on the underside being broken as the other two watches, but I decided I could live with that. What I missed though was the poorly printed PELAGOS on the dial and the uneven texture above Chronometer. This being the third watch QC from Puretime, I was keen to move the process along. My own fault naturally, I should have scrutinised the images more throughly. Anyhow, I have now taken the issue up with @puretime. Perhaps they’ll be able to send me a replacement dial at least.
Poorly printed "O" in Pelagos. Uneven texture on the dial above the "C" of Chronometer too.
Razor sharp, poorly finished end links. Missing the round corner on this one.

I hope I don't get one of the rejected for QC pics this week .....Well, it certainly didn’t help. To be fair, there was was this shot too.
These are fairly cheap and come in different grindsVorsicht eine Nagelfeile ist zu grob um die kanten leicht zu brechen.
Du brauchst einen feinen keramik abziehstein mit feiner körnung.
My Seestern arrived today. Watch is great except for the endlinks... doesn't fit tight as I am used to. Overall nice homage attempt. Sunburst on the dial is visible only on direct sunlight.

Looks great. See, homages have to try to get sales so good homage companies put effort into details. Unlike some replica factories that are carried by brand names.

Seestern are lucky they don't make guitars ... because Gibson would sue them.

I’m still absolutely thrilled with this Pelagos. This little gem has been glued to my wrist since the day it arrived. Well, to be precise, I only wear it in the evenings and at night - during the day, I usually rock my Sub. (The Sub doesn’t glow as brightly, but I prefer something heftier on my wrist during daylight hours)
Despite the fact that I only wear this watch during my less active moments, it performs like a champ. Over the last 10 days, it’s gained maybe 30 seconds, which is perfect for me—I tend to be just a tad late for appointments anyway.

Nice. Finally got QC pics after a 4 week wait. And it's now with a courier company.I’m still absolutely thrilled with this Pelagos.

Any fellow ZF owners have issues with the clasp clearances allowing for some misalignment? I feel I have to more purposely have to center the clasp before clicking the first detent. Not a big deal but I assume gen is not like this.
The red pivot has too much clearance, which then allows for misalignment on the first stage clasp lock (green arrow)
