Does anyone have a ZF dial, who noticed that under black light the underlying color of the super lume is not consistent on their dial? I’ll post pictures later, but wondering if this is a known issue and if there are any fixes?

Back on topic, getting the gen dial is difficult and very expensive (hopefully one day I will be able to afford it), but in case of opting for another dial, what is in your opinion the best option? I know it's a controversial and much talked about topic.

I think BP Earlier, ZF and maybe Clean would be in the lead
I found that dial at a reasonable price, pity about the markers.

I have a ZZF dial that is imo one of the best dials available, besides from the BP.

I just had the current VSF, and CF dial in hand.... And yes, the laser effect is still there.

I have a VSF pre raid, it arrived yesterday.
I just read your 116610 thread Franken, congratulations on your dedication.

Also, I think you had one for sale recently on M2M, sorry if I'm confused, in fact I didn't buy it because of the customs issue...

I have always had and will always have love-hate for the HULK, when direct light hits it... it's a difficult watch at dial level.

Sometimes I think about changing dial, DW, Crystal, (I have hands on the way), and then I think that it would be cheaper and easier to do my 126610 Franken...

Getting a ZZF dial difficult nowadays isn't it?

I gave up, and sold every last Hulk i had :) I'm done with that watch for now.

Yeah ZZF has been out of production for a number of years. I've just been sitting on that dial for a while now, wanting to use it in a build.

It is one of the most difficult and expensive watches to make Franken...
I'll try to enjoy the process, or ruin myself along the way:):cry::cry::giggle:

I tried to perfect it, without going gen on the dial, but I was just never happy with the end result

My fellow Hulk lovers - Keep an eye on M2M sales as I will be selling this Special Franken build with Gen Dial very soon! 👀 ;)
I will look at it of course, it is a jewel a Franken with gen dial.
If I buy it I will have to tell my wife that it is the same one I already have, I have bought 4 watches in a month..and made a Franken Datejust 126334
