Is that the stock rep? Or did you fix the tube? Either way looks great!

It’s stock. The latest batch. Strangely not yet dubbed “v2” by the majority of TDs, except for Intime. Lume mismatch and tube height have been improved upon.

Isnt the lume too white now?

Yeap. I would say so.

Yeap. I would say so.

That’s a white balance issue in the photos. Look at the gold in the bezel; you’d have to change the temp to match that gold and then the lume would be much closer, if not the same.

Well, it would be nice if that was the case.
The hands are too white, but it’s hardly noticeable. The 12, 3, 6, 9 markers seem to have the right colour. The circular markers are white too. On the wrist, hardly noticeable under varying light conditions

Btw. PureTime have confirmed its the v2, rather than an interim edition. They just haven’t got round to updating the images on their website.

Has anyone spotted that the real 58 has silver lume pip instead of gold?

I don’t think so.

 

[Bero182]

12,3,6,9 markers are rose gold on GEN

 

[Rolorin]

Rose gold on zf too. Dial seems more deep black on gen, but looks faded on zf, looks like a patina though and works well with the indices and rose gold.

 

[dorian1985]

I don’t think so.

must be two versions then with gold and silver.

most of the pic I've seen online have silver pip

 

[Yankindeez]

Could be. I rejected the first 2 watches offered by PureTime. Then sent them a shot of one of their own QC shots of a watch I would accept. The 3rd watch I accepted.

wow that looks just like gen. Do you have another shot showing the tube?

Literally no gen has a silver pip. This goes back to the post about white balance and such in photography. Pictures and video may overexpose parts of the watch and the raised rose gold pip is likely to reflect a lot of light, making it appear whiter/silver from certain angles. Look at video pans across the face and you'll see the pip is rose gold on gen.

So I've tried googling it, but I can't figure out what tube length is. I saw it first in this thread, is it the tube that goes to the crown on this watch?
I see some have that part extended, but is that just an issue with the V1? I see people are saying wait until V2 is confirmed by TDs. The biggest tell must be the whiteness of the markers on this watch. I wonder how the dial color is side by side is...

 

[Bero182]

On GEN the dial is more black. Tube is the part between the case and crown. On REP it is few mm longer

 

[Bassy2000]

On REP it is few mm longer

On the rep it is longer but not by that magnitude.

 

[dorian1985]

Would be nice if ZF make the dial same black shade as old black bay 41mm as atm the 58 dial is more grey then black.

 

[Bero182]

On the rep it is longer but not by that magnitude.

we are speaking about 1 mm max on older models, on this new version is smaller, but still fragment of mm longet than the gen
