Which of the 3 colors is closest to gen with a good sunburst? Was contemplating between white or gray dial.

You should get a dial color because you like it and not because it’s “close to gen”, because whatever color it is, it won’t be gen and also if you really like the color, you can always swap it out for the gen dial if and when such an option becomes available.

Between those two I’d have to say the white is “closer to Gen”, going solely off of the pics that’ve been released so far. I’m not an expert on AP dials by any means but the grey dial is tough to nail for rep factories.

I went for the grey, puretime said a week ago that qc will be 2-3 weeks, which due to CNY, I am not expecting to see the watch for 4-5 weeks, so ill take a nap and not worry till I get the QC images.

I got my qc pic on the grey also today, but had to reject as the marker at 3 looked crooked in my eyes, hopefully, the next one will be better.

Can you provide some pictures, want to see how the dial looks and compare it with the white dial posted above.

Thank you

@legend would appreciate your thoughts on the color of the dial. I’ve never seen a white 15450st in person but from some of the videos I’ve seen online the dial seems to be a crisp white under fluorescent light and have a nice sunburst in the sunlight. From what I can see from the pics released so far the ZF seems to have a cream/eggshell colored hue that the Gen doesn’t. Are there different variations in the white 37mm dial like there is in the 15400?

One of the gen video I was referencing:

Incidentally, I unfortunately gave my watch an RL because the printing on the date wheel has a printing error and the "M" in "AUTOMATIC" in every picture is broken on the bottom left side

The gen 15450 dial is white/silver and for me it’s more white than silver. Yes there are variations indeed. What I have seen myself are the silvery variant with strong sunburst, and one which is more “white/cream” than silver with a surface which is more matte. For the new dial pictured above the tapisseries look a lot more crisp and are of the correct size and shape, compared with the predecessors in the game. The color also seems more consistent with gen and I do like it myself. I don’t think the dial color is a tell but to be fair I’ve not seen it in real life so far. But without examining it in detail, and if watch is stated to be gen, it is believable for me that it indeed is, before close scrutiny of the entire watch.
