Yes, that's correct.
RXF has made a similar dimple effect at the centre, but they tried to make it as subtle like the genuine.

I also got news from factory that the 3135 one may be released next month if all goes well.


They shouldn't have use a Gen with this issue. Most Gen are more like the right one, without dimple.

Actually its vice versa most gens have it only some of the very latest 2019/2020 models don't have it.

Yes, that is correct. Quite a number of batches had this dimple effect on the dial, but they are usually subtle.

The one on the RXF is done pretty well, and you won't really notice it unless you look closely at a certain angle and lighting, just like the gen.

Even if your statement was true (which it seems from other responses it's not), I don't see how it would be an 'issue'? Since when has very accurate replication been an 'issue'. It seems the 'issue' is simply that you don't like the ripple - which is fair enough, just don't buy a Sub, Gen or Rep.

Most gen does not have this dimple. Everything else is not right. Some have it but for sure the minority.

From forum, never saw that on a Gen in rlf nor on any at chronext or in ebay for example

Thats just probably because of the lightning and angle and that's were everybody is making the wrong assumption. The chrono and ebay pics are mostly taken in the condition where it doesn't show no sunlight. When releasing the V2S ZZF said 7 out of 10 gens they've seen have it so they replicated it.

Same watch different conditions:

my zzf got it in a much worse way. I guess they impooved it a bit. I light dimple might be normal but not a deep one and not around the dial and the markers like most zzf

Yeah I've heard it was worse on earlier batches or was that the V1 and also around the markers but have never seen those IRL.

No it was the V2. The latest V2 ln (or v2s?) i saw where much better. But still i think most gen don`t have this problem. From how do you think most gen havee this too?

I have no way of confirming any of this it's just all the info I've gathered by myself and some from people who know more.

Same case like your's a personal judgement based on the information you have gathered.

The truth is probably somewhere in the middle as always.

yes i think so too. Nevertheless i hope ZZF will sond provide a ln without this dimple. For me personally this would be my prefered option.
