The one on the left is my guess. I can’t tell one from the other in real life unless I remove the back and look at the movement.

Yeah, having the best without considering any gen parts clean overall is top notch.
Dial side by side vs gen is incredible.
If you can source a vsf xtal replacing the usually weak clean, youre done, no need of gen either, my two cents
if I already have one of the latest vs k25 serials, can I change the dial to a clean one?

There’s different versions of clean hulk dial. IMO One is better than the newer vsf hulk dial. @CTime has or had them. They’re a bit pricey at nearly half the cost of a rep.

Don't compare the price to a rep. Compare the price to a gen dial. Then it's a cheap dial at 1/15th the cost of a Hulk dial, if you can even find one.

That is a good way to look at it because I just sold a clean hulk that didn’t look as good as the vsf to me. It’s in a side by side with the vsf in an earlier comment of mine. So it’s not like you’ll find that dial anywhere else. I’ve been thinking about grabbing one up myself and you might’ve just given me the rationale I’ve been needing.

Just to get it right:
Gen is the dial in the middle - correct?
Correct!

I Am sorry if I wasn’t clear. On my photos it’s BP on the left, gen on the middle and zf on the right.
Again BP imitates quite well the gen just don’t have the same kind of shinning under natural light, under interior light is almost identical.
Zf against the sun makes a different ray (honestly don’t know how to explain in English) but nothing like gen.

Not meant to be seen with your eyes. Even Rolex gen LEC is hard to spot. It is microscopic.

Go outside in sunlight and move the watch around.

Or use a phone macro lens and a high powered flashlight.

If you have a VS hulk I guarantee it is there.

It’s probably real but the only way to know for certain is to take the back off and check out the movement

I should charge 5 dollars to answer that question lol
I gotta admit, being from this side of the pond and everything, it did cause me to think twice about what he was talking about. 😃
