Black Bay 58

[thediesel17]

Can you post pics? A lot of these QC pics seem to show crooked markers, but I feel like it might be the crystal...

sold it because it was a bit small, but the watch looks and feels really good. no crooked markers

It's a common thing for ZF to have misaligned markers also on other models

 

[RepWatchNoob]

to be honest I am not noticing this...

I’ve hardly ever seen a ZF BB58 without misalignments... really keeps me from pulling the trigger. I wish they would improve their QC and come out with a V3 that eliminates some of the minor flaws...

Same, the markers should at least be aligned. Also hope for a v3.

crown tube looks really good on this one! I should have bought it from you haha

 

[Dissemination]

I just havent noticed near as much "crookedness" as I have for this particular rep... I assumed it had to be the perspective of the camera in many cases. Anyways, hopefully the ZF black bays (41 mm) I ordered are better haha.

Black Bay GMT also had marker issues as far as I remember and dw alignment

But great watch ootb, I owned it for a few months

I really like the versatility of the watch.

Yeah I would have RL that one too. Crown tube is way too long.

Hi all, quick question. Do you think a baby oil bath is necssary for the bracelet or is it fine out of the box? Should receive mine tomorrow

I have not heard anyone say it’s necessary, but I think it will improve the feeling anyways

Happy with mine. Also to show the Chinese movement.

Oh yes.. I spent SGD40 to get a watch smith to realign the snowflake hour hand because it’s uneven / crooked.. sadly this is hardly possible to spot from QC pics.

These are mine QC photos. What do you think? Tube too long? Claiming this they told me that it follows the photos that are published in the site announcement, so it's normal. https://www.intime05.co/tudor/6277-h...let-a2824.html

It’s no QC pic. Obviously site pics.

I've had a similar response from intime. They are effectively saying the site pics have a long crown tube so that is what you should expect from the V2 watch.

I initially rejected a very similar watch (below) because of the long tube but have been told it is this watch or a refund.

For those of you that have versions with longer tube has it been an issue in day to day use. I appreciate looking at images full screen on a computer can be very different to on the wrist.

I’m pretty sure that there have been photos posted of much shorter tubes. They were still too long compared to Gen though.

I’ve asked Angus from Puretime if he knows if a V3 is possible, but no response yet in that thread...

There are other TD and I believe they can help.
