Update time, installed the silver dial now:
^^ Gen on right. Gen always on right in following pics.
^^ZF dial lacks deep black of the blackened white gold indices on gen. They look almost gray at most angles.
^^ Gen indices darker, cross has better bevels on gen
^^ gen is darker again
^^ gen is darker. However overall conclusion is that gen dial isn't NEEDED but is a wonderful upgrade.
^^ sanded dial feet down
^^ Rotor has a sticker on top, as with most Miyota 9015 reps. I remove it when working on the watch as it doesn't put unnecessary pressure on the rotor that can sometimes be sloppily pressed in.
^^ some people use glue, I like dial stickers
^^ Hour hand hits the indices as a default. I had to slightly bend the collar so the hour hand barely cleared all indices. I noticed it had difficulty at the bigger indices of 12, 6 and 9. As a result the other 3 hands had to be adjusted to accommodate as well.
All ready to go
