Correct, but none of those issues are visible from a distance even a close one unless you know what to look for, however the color all the shades and the sunburst you can see from far, and that’s where DP shines

ZF Officially Announces 15450

Disagree
As much as it is about the colour, it is also the shape of the patisserie and DP is not the best when it comes to that
So overall IMO ZF is better
I know its subjective and a matter of preference, but I do agree with you on this count, based on my personal preference.
Yes it’s gen. The lighting plays a part in creating that high glossy sunburst finish.

the sunburst and all shades of blue in this video are like my DP dial. At the end it comes to what you willing to sacrifice in the rep game
I have ZF 15400, and the dial is ok, but when next to my 15450 DP is so plastic and dull….
Agreed. Any rep dial which cannot replicate this kind of sunburst misses a very important thing from this dial in my book.the sunburst and all shades of blue in this video are like my DP dial. At the end it comes to what you willing to sacrifice in the rep game
We can agree that the combo of this color and finish is inimitable by the rep and aftermarket dials.Sunburst bursted by the sun
I wouldnt' say completely, I would say maybe closer than APSF and other ZF models, and DP.
I agree with what someone said earlier - dP dials have more sunburst than some of the IPF, JF, APSF and ZF dials, but they tend to go overboard.
I have friends with Gen ROs and have worn them myself.
The shine not just of the dial but of the dial markers is something else. Another thing that most of the rep dials dont replicate well is how the light bounces off the tapisserie as you change the angle of your dial. Dp dials seem to go from 'flat' to 'on-the-surface-of-the-sun' bright, whereas gen dials seem to oscillate and sparkle but not in a crazy sense.
ZF dials on other models are a little duller, especially black and silver.
I've had several RO reps, read so many posts here, on Reptime and discord, and am confident that there is no substitute for a gen royal oak dial (at the moment). Some of the reps, like zf 15202 are close becuase the gen 15202 dial is not shiny. Same with the black 15500s, but its still not a match.

I think they just say that to buy themselves some time. Underpromise, overdeliver!
As far as I know ZF has not made them avail for TDs yet so expect longer waiting than usual

I'm sure you'll get your QC pictures in due time. Most TDs don't even have the new ZF 15450 listed on their websites.
