I do agree yeah, it's nothing and for real the ZF release is a fraction of the gen price and did a FAR better job than OMF.

And yeah, i'm gonna get myself a close to gen color lol.

Tbh peeps are too picky about colors, if the dial have to be dark blue and is cyan "NOT OK", if the dark blue is darker or a bit lighter it's "OK".

Again 400 bucks rep versus 20K bucks and peeps still ask for gen like, better move with gen or buy a gen dial when you're such picky.

From my side i will never buy a a gen dial for a slighty color difference, i prefer buy 4 more reps instead with non gen like dial colors lol.

Yes just don’t let [mention]Dr Fun Socks [/mention] in on this. Somehow he stubbornly believes that every model should have a pink dial version despite my numerous attempts to dissuade him.

Shhh dont tell people man, they’ll sneak in and out bid me at the last minute! Your not wrong though, the factories (both ap and zf) are missing a trick by leaving the pink dial option out! They could sell similar volumes to swatch at ap prices, #winning

Haha nice try doc.
But seriously though I am looking forward to seeing the silver dial 15500 in person. The pictures I’ve seen does look promising.

One thing I do notice about the rep 15500 though is that on the gen the right edge of the date window seems to protrude slightly into the second counter ring causing a little inset groove on the ring. On the rep the date window right edge is flush against the second counter ring edge. The date window positions may be slightly different on the gen and rep 15500.

This is actually really interesting. If you recall I earlier posted a pic of a gen 15500 I tried on. Here it is again for reference:

Interestingly, the date window here does not creep into the minute track! Here’s a close up:

And comparing to an in hand image of a ZF 15500 that teaston posted previously:

Differing date window positions on the gens based on dial colour? Seems unlikely yet here we are.

Or maybe it is just the angle. I am uncertain at this stage, but will take special note of this when I have the rep in hand.
Thank you for offering more insights into this!
I will tag you when I make the side by side observation in person!
