One of these:As far as I know, XF released Reps of Tudor Pelagos, but not of the BB58. Which model did you buy?
BB Bronzo

That’s no 58, friendo. It from the larger Black Bay line
Same.I'm holding back from buying the BB58 in blue in hopes that XF or ZF will bring out a better version that corrects the problems with the current one (which is several years old now).
Isn't the blue version more accurate than the black one?I'm holding back from buying the BB58 in blue in hopes that XF or ZF will bring out a better version that corrects the problems with the current one (which is several years old now).
I remember the blue color is a bit off..Isn't the blue version more accurate than the black one?
I don't understand why ZF didn't pay attention to dial. It's the same problem with BB58 and Pelagos. In both replicas the dial looks "dull" and is lacking texture.I'm holding back from buying the BB58 in blue in hopes that XF or ZF will bring out a better version that corrects the problems with the current one (which is several years old now).
I mean it would be really difficult to tell ZF BB58 is fake unless someone has a gen and compares them side by side. However, ZF Seamaster would be super difficult to tell even side by side with gen.Curiously, I'm less bothered by my BB58's dial texture than by the hands finishing, which look flat imo (in the version that I have, at least).
Got both ZF BB58 and XF Pelagos. I'd go for the Pelagos.I mean it would be really difficult to tell ZF BB58 is fake unless someone has a gen and compares them side by side. However, ZF Seamaster would be super difficult to tell even side by side with gen.
I'm on a fence between ZF BB58 and Pelagos
Improvement will come even without competitor if the rep demand is high. But Tudor is always in Rolex's shadow.I didn't see any improvements.
Things that I can see is that ZF doesn't have any competitor and no one push them to improve it.
Maybe I am wrong..
I follow reddit ant there you can find qc images from other, from time to time very nice pieces are shown.
Obviously you have to be very picky..
Totally wrong and naive..Improvement will come even without competitor if the rep demand is high. But Tudor is always in Rolex's shadow.
wrongTotally wrong and naive..
If they sell it enough, why would they burn money and time in improvements and lower profit with probably more expensive production.
Doesn't make sense.
Only way to change something is RL QC, stop baying it and paying more for best quality reps.. everything else is just talking
Matte varnish spray from around 50cm away to let droplets form a bit in the air before it hits the dial. Short bursts and let it dry between each application to see the results. Shortening the crown tube is as easy as just sanding it.Looks good.
May I ask how you did this?
Really wonderful stuff. Crazy how two easy mods turns the ZF into basically near-gen.Matte varnish spray from around 50cm away to let droplets form a bit in the air before it hits the dial.
