Is it just me, or is the blue/dial on this a lot better than the v6?

Finally superior Dial Color!

It looks nice, I have no idea about the accuracy of the color and such, but the blue is pretty stunning.

The dial is better than the V6, but a little bit too dark.
We have to wait for real life pics though. Here is the gen:

The color is much much more accurate, the only drawback is that the subdials don't have the same sunburst sheen

Good catch. The subdials appear very "flat" with no sunburst. May need to see some QC pictures to see how it really looks.

It was an issue spotted in the 3777 ZF black dial when they showed first images of the dial in comparison to gen. I really wish they had corrected this but it's just a huge turnoff IMO but alas, you must have SOME imperfection in every run so that people will always want to buy the next run :p

Maybe it's only the TD's light conditions...

Check the subdial @6 in this pic, it seems the sunburst effect is there ;)

It's very difficult to replicate an accurate blue color. AP 15400, petit price etc

Yep i'm holding off as well. I've been early adopter too many times and been disappointed.

While the blue may be closer, this doesn't seem to have any sunburst at all... I've held my friend's gen before and did a review previously. Don't think I'll upgrade unless they get the sunburst right.
