Is this a serious question there are over 900 comments in this discussing this and many pictures provided

I don’t think so.

A shot of the gen pip outside natural light.

I really don't think the color difference of the dial is noticeable. My rep dial looks black, doesnt look gray at all

I have just got back new QC pics and it now seems to be a v2: lume is correct and tube is smaller.

I'll approve it unless you guys see anything fishy.

Looks real good to me!

Do you have any side by side shots? would be very interesting!

I’m interested in why this isn’t on the list for NWBIG given the recent changes in v2. Even the black bag in red is super red!

Well on the V2 the hand lume is whiter than the plots, so still a pretty noticeable flaw. It looks much better than V1, but still not right.

Probably the dial color too? I haven't seen any side by sides but I heard its slightly grey. And the crown tube slightly long no?

ZF V2 official on Trusty time.

I'd say dial and bezel is slightly grey/brown. Looks like a new gen has a tropical patina.

Crown tube appears a fraction of a mm too long but its hard to really tell since the case sides are polished to mirror finish and from the side make the tube look longer than it is. Also the zf threading seems a bit wonky so screwing in the crown from various positions means it might screw on closer some times and further other times.

Lume difference on v2 isn't obvious in the flesh.

However, zf did a fantastic job with case polishing, dial printing, and bracelet construction. V2 has some indices alignment qc issues to watch out for though.

Overall, with the a2824, I'd say the watch is nwbig but not a super rep due to the color variance and tube lengths. Also note that the underside of the lugs on gen are angled slightly to prevent a hard straight edge. The rep lugs end as a straight edge.

Great thanks for the clarification! I'm interested in this or the red bezel but no place in Australia have these in stock for me to see in the flesh

The bb58 is 39mm case but I think the regular black bay with red bezel (shield) is 41mm. Note also that the bb58 is noticeably thinner (11.5mm vs 14.5mm) . Consequently the bb58 wears relatively small while the regular black bay wears relatively large due to the flat case profile making up most of thickness. Bb58 is subtle, bb red is more statement.

Hi guys,
First time buying a repwatch. I no ught this from kuvarsit and gonna need a qc on this. Few questions- is it the latest version with matched lume and shortened crown tube? are the markers in line and inline with the bezel? Reject or accept?
