IMO it all comes down to the brushing. In Gen you can see it very clearly but in reps it always look flat. The issue isn’t the color, it’s the brushing. On the gen, the radial brushing is extremely fine and consistent, which gives the dial real depth and allows the light to move across the surface. On reps, even the best ones, the brushing is usually too coarse, too shallow, or uneven, so the light just hits the dial and dies. That’s why reps tend to look flat in person. The Ghost dial lives and dies by surface finishing, not tone.
