I'm on the fence about this one. Hope to see some rep VS gen soon.

Seen a gen in the flesh today, not worried about the bezel colour now, rep looks spot on to me, slightly worried about my eyes though

To anyone who is unsure about the colour of the insert, have a look at the comparison here. Gen VS Gen... Explains a lot

Wow! That's quite a variation, especially for a new watch. It pretty much is Pepsi and Coke in one model!

I think they are identical but one is exposed to a bright light source. It would be “interesting” if there really was that much variance

They’re very different and I don’t think it’s the light.

Whats the the source of this photo?

These look damn good, except for the date alignment. I would always ask our TD´s for numerous date pics, including single and double digit. On the GEN the date fills almost the window, leaving no space for mistakes or alignment problems. For me its almost too big :)
Here are pictures of my GEN (that i sold recently).









seems like the bezel fonts are slightly thicker on the gen

Got my Tudor GMT ZF from Intime today. Endlinks are nice and tight, bezel looks pretty damn close to gen. Really satisfied with both watch and service from Intime!

BTW, for those who have received the ZF rep, can you check if turning the bezel clockwise will produce the clicking sound? Someone asked this before and I don't think it has been answered. The video mentioned this anomaly. Thanks.

If you need them for Nato, you can try to grab a spare Nato from a BB red (or black or blue) from a TD. I know for gen NATO, it should come with the strap. If you need them for leather (deployant), I got mine from Sead I believe.
When I bought my gen NATO for ranger the buckle has to be purchased separately from an AD

CCW mine makes a very subtle click
CW it makes a more pronounced click

Thanks psssniper. So looks like its different for each and every unit. Anyone with a Gen that can let us know how the bezel sounds like when turned? Much appreciated.

Edit: Was watching videos of review about the BB GMT and it looks like the bezel doesn't make much sound just like the Rolex GMT Master II.

My brother-in-law’s watch came in, he wore it last night at a family get together. I can say I’m super impressed. At this price point you would not expect it to look that good. The Crystal looks like it came right from prof. Finish of the bezel, dial, and hands is on point and it has a very gen feel to the watch. Bracelet is super comfortable as well.

For Anyone on the fence about this one - I say go for it. Its a Stunner!

Post em. Would be good to see how consistent the factory is. So far I have seen minimal variance which indicated ZF did a very good job
