if you put side by side you were able to tell the difference?
There was no 055 in stock so I compared with their NTPT 07-01 displayed.
Yes, the carbon pattern on gen is more shiny and the texture is a bit more complex. It is hard to describe but it was obvious for my eyes. And the polishing on movement is far better in gen for sure.
The good points on ZF 055 are 1. movement shape is almost correct, 2. crystal & skeletonized movement transparency is high and 3. the polishing on parts is decent. In my opinion, ZF 055 overall looks like gen from a distance.
