Tudor never really caught my eye until now, but this watch is stunning. I can't really see the differences as well as you guys but i think I'll go for the XFV2 based on your opinions, thanks for sharing your knowledge!

have you already seen the amazing GEN in store?

yup i checked out the GEN on vacation 2 weeks ago but did not get a real good look at it as i was looking for the older version ( original black bay bronze replica ) but now I should be receiving it tomorrow as it was delayed in customs for a few days .

Beautiful indeed! I guessed the rep would be fantastic because as was the blue version and basically only difference is the colour.

Colour though... I'm colour blind! I don't doubt it, I just literally can't tell. Do you guys think the dial & bezel colour is accurate to gen? Thx

I find the ZF V2 dial slightly more greyish all over than it should be. The Gen is incomparable, the process and technique used on their dial finishing has a sorta dynamic gradient at different angle and lighting, hence you see some gen looking dark, while some with good contrast of grey to black.

As for the Bronze colour/material, IMHO the XF should be better just purely based on their superb Tudor Blue Bucherer rep.

Also to take note, in most of the ZF reps (even in BB58 V2), the Tudor shield print are thick, making the top 2 "box" look tiny and easy-tell fake. I really wish XF made BB58 and GMT just to compare..

For anyone interested. Received my xf Black bay bronze slate. The 9015 is extremely noisy. Louder than another 9015 watch I own. If you are able to oil it, might not be so bad. Out of the box though it's very loud.

Yes i can concur. I'd say avoid Decorated Miyota movements or remove the rotor completely.

My friend owns the XF and the rotor broke off from the movement. Its quiet now but need a constant wind. I just pulled the trigger on ZT due to this.

Beautiful, I like to buy this one. I checked with my usual dealer puretime, but they don't have it. Where did you get it from?
