Congrats my friend.. I'm so happy for you, yet a bit jealous hahahaha.. and BlackJaguar said it all.. the caseback is not engraved.

just waiting for the RG to buy them all and save on the triangle shipping

The jealous will be me once you have them all haha

I cant take my eyes out of this watch, the dark grey strap looks amazing!

m1994 this looks amazing mate. Nice combi with the strap. Congrats.
So the only flaw is the thickness difference of 1 mm from the gen. That's nothing. Won't even be visible on the wrist.

Rose gold just released (check puretime), gen has a creamier more yellow dial compared to the ZF.

I tried this gen on awhile back:

Yeah, that white dial is a miss. They got it right on the 5296, dont know why they did this in white....

In the pictures of the white gold white dial it also appears to be less cream/beige colored.

They often over edit their pictures.

lets wait for other comparable sources. I cannot imagine they used a different white dial than on the white gold version... would be nonsense.

My thoughts exactly.. I think it's the editing.. for sure they would use the same dial but with RG markers..

BIONONE exactly. Wouldn't be first time Puretime shows it another color than reality.

For me the dial on the RG doesn't look white Karlus It's definitely cream colored, specially if you look at picture nr 3. It's not as cream colored as posted by majwilliams0308 , but that can be editing on Puretime site.

Ok, I will defer to the wisdom of the forum and calm down :)

If we see that this is a cream color then its an instabuy.

looks creamier than what puretime published but still yellowish and off. Still though, it’s the best version out and still a great watch nonetheless!
Nice pictures. It ends the discussion about if the dial is cream colored or not. Maybe it's less yellow in reality. It's gonna be interesting to compare your wrist shot of the gen with someone's post of their real life pictures of the rep.
