thank you @hurk for th pics!
I was eagerly awaiting this, but unfortunately I'm a little disappointed, as I was before with the Aqua Dial. The color is not right and it lacks the metallic shine and a certain saturation!
Well, I wasn't expecting a 1:1 copy of a 10k watch, but for the fact that the rest of the watch is so well made, the dial could have been a bit better.

What's wrong with the aqua color? There was a side by side comparison a while ago that showed color was spot on other than not having as much of the dimensionality that the gen does in the sun, but honestly, is so angle/light dependent that does not feel callout-able

I again went to a local IWC dealer two days ago, was sporting my aqua. Obviously not comparing side by side, but the aqua is nearly identical to the gen. After leaving the store I couldn´t point any difference in dial color.

Case, bracelet are 1:1 exactly from a distance. Couldn´t be happier. Consider also that boutique lighting and showcase pictures are not precisely your day-to-day lighting conditions.

maybe the boutique lighting really makes a difference, but in everyday life I found the rep Aqua dial too boring and I had to sell it. Which I soon regretted. that's why I was hoping for the blue one. but the Aqua was much better.
or maybe I'm just mentally disturbed.

Debating taking this apart and just spraying some clearcoat on it.

I am over the initial stages of getting a new watch and yes the dial is a bit too matte compared to gen.
