Blue looks off. Nice first attempt by ZF.

Yep, it's off, I guess they did this without having the gen sample in hands.

looks quite good, not sure about the classical issue of lume colour on hands and indices being different, will wait to see better pics, but this looks like it might have the issue

the blues are pretty good the bezel is brighter blue and the dial more aged blue. Tudors pics look like an aged blue all around, but not the case in videos I've seen

some good pics in this article

crown tube is still too long, I guess I will wait for the v2, hope they also fix the quality of the bracelet and hands. My Tudor bracelet was sharp as fuck. Sadly zf qc on Tudor is trash.

What makes you think that? Crown tube length looks much improved in this shot.

Check the other TD pictures. The thing with previous zf bb tudors is that there are some with long and short tube, I have had both versions in the past. Pretty sure they will be using all the same parts as before but I hope I'm wrong because this is one of the watches I want the most atm.

I think the crown tube is fine. Here is an example of a gen:

Crown tube length looks correct / like my gen.

The blue is difficult to call - considering the gen can look like this even in moderate light.

Here is my gen in a similar angle to the puretime picture.

PURETIME:

GEN:
Noone would ever call you out on this. A bargain deal. Pop in a gen ETA movement and enjoy a superrep. Not sure how well they got the Blue color but on the gen it has 1000 different tones depending on the light, even if I saw the ZF out in the wild, I probably wouldn't be able to tell it's a rep based on the colours.

I’ve actually thought about building a limited run (maybe 5 or so) of these with a gen ETA or Sellita movement and the correct 2 position setting lever spring to eliminate the useless middle spot since there’s no date on the 58. Would be an absolute crusher of a rep.

Let me know how it goes, I'd order rn but I'm unsure about the lume colour on the hands compared to hour markers. My bb36 has that issue.

People are too far apart when it comes to the blue. WC pics might bridge that gap.

Here some QC photos i found on reddit.

Are you talking about daytime lume color or glowing lume color? The daytime lume color on the QC pics above looks close between dial and hands.

What factory is your BB36?
