Fair, I've never seen that area that misaligned on a gen, but know it's something that I've seen on every ZF. But I'm sure there are exceptionsI've seen plenty of gen SMP dials with similar alignment issues in the exact same area.
But thanks to Reptime on Reddit, rep dials have to be more perfect than gen ones.

I still think it's minor enough to be not noticeable on the wrist. We're talking microscopic sizes... This looks much worse on a photo on a computer screen or even mobile device.
I got a ZF Seamaster this week, great watch, however the rotor is very noisy. So I am planning to remoce it and using some watch oil to quiet it. Now I am facing the question how to remove the rotor. Is the center piece (in the yellow circle) functional or just a deco that is glued on the the screw is below it? Thanks for any hints in advance.

Have VSF fixed the yellow lume issue?
I’ve seen a lot of QCs recently both blue, grey and black that have both yellow and white lume and in all websites the VSF V2 show a white lume.
Anybody that can confirm?
I am ordering a ZF because I got irritated by the yellow of my VSF but if they’ve fixed it I’m more leaning to another VSF.

It's hardly noticeable to the naked eye. I hadn't even noticed until you pointed it out actually. The yellow lume of the VSF dial is much more bothersome to me.
I thought you meant that I pointed out the yellow lume problem with the VSF watches. But the second I posted I realized that it had nothing to do with that!
Haha no, not you. I was referring to the post about the lack of gap between the wave and the O in Omega. I just forgot to quote the guy.I thought you meant that I pointed out the yellow lume problem with the VSF watches. But the second I posted I realized that it had nothing to do with that!
To answer your question, from all the recent QC pics I've seen people posting, it doesn't look like VSF has sorted out the lume color.
This is my QC and it looks pretty white so you might be right! Damn it!!!
So what should I do, ZF or VSF? Maaaaaan I hate this!!!
Can I send the watches to you and you do the same thing as you did with yours
At the end of the day it's up to you. Go through this thread, figure out what bothers you more. They are both great options. No rep is perfect.

Is this a ZF?
I couldn't stand the yellowish lume on my VSF SMP300 V2 and had it relumed after a few weeks. It's pretty obvious when looking at the photos of the Stick View and the Hand Luminous Filled view. VSF is even worse than OR.
I'm from Germany and had it relumed with reluming.de (aka sweetwatches.de). Around 60€ or so. He's a well known watchsmith for reps (and gens).
Perfect! Thank you! Any pics of relume because yellow lume was the ONLY reason I sold mine and am waiting for QC for a new VSF or ZF.
Anyone ever attempted to realign a bezel insert on these seamasters. The ZF I've received is ever so slightly out, it's enough to bug me but not enough if it's too risky/potential to scratch or ruin bezel insert by trying to adjust it. Was going to go to a watchsmith and see what they say, but just curious if anyone has had the same?
My mind could be playing tricks on me also. The bezel looks aligned depending on angle, but certainly if I look at the 12 marker against bezel it's slightly left and not centred with the scallop.
If I turn the watch and then look at each marker the same way ie from 12 point of view I see the same..hence its slightly out..
