Black Bay Black GEN vs Rep comparison

[moodyticker]

OP are you sure the Gen crown is on the left, I think the crown on the right looks sharper?

thanks for sharing comparison pics. I've been interested in the Black Bay for awhile. Might have to make a move on it.

Yes, GEN crown is on the left, you can see the engraving is thicker and deeper compared to the rep crown.

Both of these trusted dealers should be able to get you the same watch. I give the edge to Sead (supermirrors) because he ships in a box.

Thanks.

Have you ever checked the other version Ref. 7923/001?

Is the rep similar to snowflake version, just only different dial and hands?

This is the limited edition Black Bay One, only one was produced which was sold at a charity auction. The bezel, hands, face, and bracelet end links are slightly different than the standard Black Bay. I love the lollipop seconds hand but absolutely hate the straight end links on the bracelet.

I hate the end links on mine to. Can this be changed to a normal bbb bracelet?

I believe the cases are the same, so yes, I would think you could swap the bracelet. One of the TDs may be able to source one for you or perhaps keep an eye on the M2M for sale section.

I just ordered with Sead, he's a stand-up guy, plus he has the leather strap included which some TDs don't, its an added bonus for me to get the leather, even if I only get the rep buckle out of it its a plus....i'm gonna get another leather made up like this one.....

Great comparison. Thank you! One thing that has always bugged me is the poor quality Tudor rose logo on the rep dial, looks like it's missing a petal on the left hand side.

I've just been wondering if anyone is brave enough to take the dial out and get a fine modelling brush to repaint the left hand side of the rose.....sounds like a challenge.

I'm waiting for the update with the shield logo, hopefully it won't be too difficult to get right.

U sure it's gonna happen?

Nope. Wishful thinking perhaps.

Any rep owner has a picture with the rep leather strap? The TD'S offer the watch with it but didn't see any pictures. Tks

 

[Guicamarao]

Guys, nobody with the rep leather strap?

I so much prefer the shield to the rose....

Me too. Wish they'd get a move on with the rep. Probably the riveted bracelet and backlog of the rose version that's delaying it.

The riveted bracelet is an added bonus. Hope they get it right!

The BB Dark is much anticipated as well!

My 2 cents...I think the rose logo, "smiley", lettering, and 2824 are preferable over newer shield logo, straight lettering, and in house movement. I wonder it the former will indeed become a somewhat scarce collectors item.

Few pics of my ZF from ChazingTime. Pretty happy with it for what I paid. Bezel doesn't quite line up but other than that it feels like a much more expensive watch. The 'Free Leather Strap' wasn't included but I wouldn't have used it anyway.

Very happy with my first rep purchase experience. Def planning to buy from ChazingTime again.
