They still havent fixed the lume mismatch whi h is my second biggest gripe tbh. I can live with the pelagos text being too dark or too light but the lumr mismatch will smack you in the face everyday

Looks okay to me. I looked through some online listings/blogger photos of gen vs Andiot QC photos. I would say they are close. Andiot uses some really high exposure in some photos which makes the whole watch seem washed out.

I don't think it is an Andiot photo issue. The Biao link (https://biao6688.com/en/327235.html) also looks quite washed out.
More importantly, the "Pelagos" looks too glossy and too bright red. I haven't seen a gen in real life, so not sure how red it is on gen.

But the hand and lume matching seems much improved compared to v1. The v1 hands/lume were almost piss-yellow. These v2 look whiter, although still a little off white. But it's almost the same deal on many gen images

I would even say, the general printing of the dial (especially the lower half) looks quite poor quality.
Beyond the "Pelagos", the text printing looks pretty messy, whereas gen printing is much crisper.
The sunburst dial is a good move, but I don't think this ZF Pelagos 39 is the same level of NWBIG as are Clean/VSF Rolex reps.

If anybody can see a "sunburst" in any of the dials pictured in this thread, You need new glasses. The Pelagos 39 I bought a last year looks exactly the same as the "upgrade". Perhaps the movement has been changed ? Because at the moment, even though the watch has no date, when the time gets to midday or midnight, you can definitely hear the "date" clicking over.

Sir.... the sunburst is there....





As for the date clicking over, ZF is lazy and didn't bother to remove the date components - can be done by any watch maker

You're right. I didn't look at the last picture. Every other picture showed nothing. Now if only they can make the gray Omega 300 with the vertically brushed dial, I'll be spending more money !

This one is just for me, it's my quality control, when it arrives I'll take all the photos and videos you need
Yours seems to be the first of the sunburst dials from Andiot.

On the 28th of March, Andiot puts out 10 Pelagos 39 with matt dial. Mine is the 6th. On the 30th he puts out 2 with the new dial and today he just posted one more.
Although I gave the GL on the same day (that hasn't been shipped to this day), I am now trying to get a new dial watch.

This is mine.


I'd be calm if I were you. I'm sure it's the same watch as mine, but you can't tell from the photos.

This watch was out of stock, and I understand that everything that's been received now is the V2.

New updates are really promising! I was hesistant tp pull the trigger due to lack of sunburst and lume mismatch. Both isses seems to be addressed, cant wait to see the first user reviews here!
