I'd be very interested to see pics confirming whether it does have sunburst or not. The hands I can live with .

But that said I've looked through loads of gen pics today and also cannot see it either , I'm hoping they haven't missed it .
I tried one on in store and i definitely noticed it in person , I'm hoping somebody can just confirm it soon

The only "weakness" of the TUF I will point out to you is the chapter ring is too thick/deep/angled compared to gen. But other than that it's a fine replica.
Are we sure it's not the angle?

Got my qc today … Overall a Stunning Watch … could Not live with the fat chapter ring and missing bracelet of the TUF… aaand, as mentioned before the pelagos 39 from zf with mate Dial is more perfekt for ne than the gen 🤓
yes it is a nice watch but it is not a replica. The matte dial error is very visible from miles away, so it is not worth buying at all.

Will it be possible to replace the dials? If it bothers me too much, I will purchase TUF, replace the dial and then sell TUF for cheap.
I asked nonTD, TUF is not willing to just send a dial.

It is possible, they share the same movement, so theoretically, a dial swap is possible between the two without much issue BUT, this is replica, again, no promises can be made

1) There is no promise that both dials are the same size, maybe one is 28.5mm and the other is 28.6mm, ok, then it won't fit, needs to be shaved
2) The difference in chapter rings as well, it may very well mean that you have to swap the chapter rings

I'm honestly not a watch maker so I cannot say with 100% certainty, but I think those 2 issues may make it a bit more complicated than a direct dial swap

To be fair, it’s a damn sexy watch even with a matte dial. I wouldn’t mind picking one up for myself at that price 😅
Buuuuut, I also support @Reaps suggestion for a boycott. ZF should learn their lesson soon.

👍 Not only that i dont care about … i prefer the mate one 🤗
Im at first a true watch fan … the most important thing for me is that the watch is acc. to my taste…
Second one … the TUF have some major tells as well … but there is no shitstorm like the zf one … 🤷🏻‍♂️
Sure zf could have make it better … but for me this was good in case of „i like it better than gen“ 🤓
Everybody should order whats about the personal taste …

In that case I can take a San Martin or an IxDao with SW200 as well. We are talking about high end reps here and discussing if it's a NWBIG timepiece. So yeah everybody has to do whatever he thinks is best for him but objectively speaking the ZF is not an very accurate replication at the moment.
