Go to your Tudor dealer and ask for the Tudor NATO for BB58. In Europe it's about 150 EUR. It worked for the Gen NATO Strap for the Tudor Bronze Bucherer Edition the same way.

I dont think thats something they would fix, its just bad quality control... ive always had bad luck with zf and their dials with misaligned markers
I have been following this thread since day 1. Aside from the already discussed faults like crown tube/lume/marker alignments, another obvious tell is that the bezel numbers are too small.
On the Gen, the numbers are larger and goes right to the edges of the bezel, not the case for the rep. And this can be seen in any photo, whereas the other faults can be more or less obvious depending on the angle, exposure and white balance of each photo.
That being said, I couldn't wait and pulled the trigger...... Awaiting QC pics now

Like many here, my interest in reps is using them for a gen test drive.
For one twelfth the gen's the cost, I can overlook bezel font size and lume color in the process.
Alignment is another matter. Fingers crossed!

Exactly!
Green light for my QC Pics from Trusty one hour ago...
Now its waiting time!
Just found this forum after many months ogling the 58 on Jomashop and trying to justify the price. Still wasn't able to do it, at least considering my current net worth ????
Great photos, excited to take the plunge soon.

Just received my QC pics for the ZF BB 58 from the TD but have a few concerns.
Firstly, before ordering, I asked if the had they stocked the V2 but I'm pretty sure these pics are for the V1. The crown is very long and there seems to be quite a colour mismatch between the hands and markers.
Also, and I might be being ultra picky here, but the 9 marker seems misaligned.
I'd appreciate a 2nd opinion as I have to GL or RL within 24 hours.
Thanks

I don't see any issue with the lume color, and the crown tube looks too long in the pic you posted, but it also looks like the crown may not be screwed in all the way. I agree that the 9 marker looks slightly misaligned. I would ask your TD about the crown and ask them for pics with the hour hand and minute hand lined up with the 9 marker.
Thanks for the advice, I'll email the dealer now to check.
The colour mismatch seems quite apparent on my monitor, but not so much on phone which I'm on now.
Its the crown which is the main issue, which is the reason I checked the version before ordering.

I would ask for new pictures.. but also if its possible to source another watch too. I see the lume mismatch, tube definitely looks long and the dial markers look misaligned.
