I had the chance to see and wear the gen 16202, I don't think ZF will produce such flawless workmanship. Again I'm sure at least a few mods will be needed

I saw the videos on Telegram. The blue dial is really a 15202 with changed rotor and movement decorations. No sunburst effect, none, at least IMHO. The green dial, on the other hand, seems to have a very well-made dial, I've only seen a few videos of the original and I've never had it badly. What do you think?

The only people that will call-out the hand base are people that will be able to call out the watch anyways, with or without the big hand base.

Yup. Hand base you can fix. Typical ZF matte plastic-looking dial you can't fix.

This is true but it's not always about trying to fool people. It's just not visually pleasing to look at.

For those who have seen the Puretime video on Telegram: in your opinion are there colour differences between 15202 and 16202 blue dial?
My non-expert eyes see nothing but only the same colour off ....

It's same, no need to spend cash in this inaccurate rep, best move would be to stick with 15202 and XF v2 preferably.
I think XF is out of production though, no?

What’s your reason behind favouring XF v2 ?
mainly the pizza base i believe


both versions (XF vs ZF) have their pros and cons though…

for me personally there is no way around modding on this one to get closest to gen
