Hi Everyone - brand new to RWI, but my friend has recently shown me his replicas that came from Puretime, and I must say they are awesome!

I am looking to purchase a Black Bay Shield ZF, but wanted some feedback on both the black and blue bezels.

Blue: https://puretime.io/heritage-black-bay-blue-zf-1-1-best-edition-on-bracelet-a2824-v5.html
Black: https://puretime.io/heritage-2016-b...-best-edition-on-ss-bracelet-a2824-black.html

I am specifically looking for feedback on any color defects on the dial/bezel/hands, feel of the rotating bezel, quality of movement, bracelet/clasp quality (any rattling, clicks, etc), etc.

So I guess the real question is, which is the overall better watch?!

Thanks!

superrep-list is wrong on BB(or incomplete ;) ).
the blue has a better 3D-print on dial. red n black gold-print is flat.
but doesnt really matter, all 3 are very nice.

Totally agree!
I have a gen black bay red shield,the rep it’s damn good!
Same feeling for S&G and steel...
The blue of your bezel it’s correct?
Have you compared with a gen in real?
Thanks

didnt had a gen in hand, just saw it in a shopwindow and loved it and decided to buy the rep.
here on repforums it was complained about the blue color, and many said on this version the blue is corrected to genlike color?!
im not really sure, but i guess the gen blue is a little darker.
but again i didnt very much compare in real, but when i compared internet-pics, i still think gen blue is darker. ???

but as u can see on the last pic: dynamic is good -> blue where the sun reflects, and almost black on the upper side. ;)

very minor flaws are:
- xtalside is bit milky in some angles(that bothers me the most).
(there is a mod for that, but dont wana do it). on my pics it isnt visible cause i only post pics without it.
will upload a pic with that milky thing in a moment. ;)
- crown is not as crisp as gen.
- hands are not as fine as on gen, but still great.
- and i read the pearl is fully genlike, but that doesnt bother me(there is a mod for that too).

and i guess the bezelclick isnt genlike, but i never had a gen in hand.

im very satisfied with the rep!!! its great.
