Black Bay V5?

[ihs0yz]

So I wanted to just make some comparisons with the pictures the TDs have off their websites and I noticed puretime has a "V5" but very briefly inspecting the pictures.. It doesn't seem to be any different from the V4. Rose on dial upclose is still off, rose on crown still isn't as deep, red triangle on bezel still a shade darker and lume still greenish. Is this another one of puretime's confusing labelling?

Saw it and compared it to my V4. I assume it's the same watch as I cannot discern any difference between the 'V5' and V4 I have.

Been trying to work out the difference myself, esp after I just did a comparison with the Gen. Maybe its something with the bracelet and back engravings

The lume on the black version looks much whiter than the previous version

IMO I think that has more to do with the camera's white balance.

Anyway, so I sent puretime a pm a couple of days ago and just got a reply. They don't know what the differences are but "V5 is definitely better". I don't know how to reply to this..

I was kinda thinking it may just be the lighting that was making the lume look whiter also. that greenish/yellow lume really put me off of the black bay I had. maybe if we find out for sure that the lume is indeed much whiter than before i'll order one

The lume color looks better, also comes with a rep fabric strap

It does! What about the other details? Crown engraving, rose emblem on dial? It doesn't come with the leather strap?

Where and how did you buy it? Looks nice but I've never bought a watch outside of amazon or retail, so I'm really unfamiliar with the process, especially replicas. Thanks! P.S I heard the face is of a lighter tone than gen and doesn't look as nice, would you say this is true with the V5? And does it come with a replica box too?

Crown is the same but the pearl looks to be improved.

looks pretty good to me!

Seems like they fixed the issue with the pinion having a gaping hole in the rpevious versions. That was the biggest "tell" for me.

EDIT: Sorry, went to see the pictures on puretime's site. Seems like the problem is still there.

There are threads on this that you can find very easily on this forum I'm sure but I'll give you a really quick run through:

1. Pick a dealer from the dealers' list here i.e. PureTime, InTime, Torobravo, Chazingtime, etc. How to pick one? Prices, preference of QC process, warranty, reviews, TD (Trusted Dealer) of the year or not, doesn't really matter because they're all the same.
2. Contact via email, they'll guide you through the process albeit with a little odd grammar and slow replies.
3. Make payment via method of your choice. TDs usually offer a bit of discount if you go Moneygram/Western Union (up to 10%) but people have trust issues using these. Personally, I have no trouble.
4. After payment's made, wait for QC pics. Go through them, reject/accept accordingly.
5. Once accepted, wait for your watch unk:

Annnnnd no. They do not come with replica boxes. You could ask the TDs if they sell them separately but that is uncommon and how close they are to gen is questionable.

Crown is the same but the pearl looks to be improved.

Thanks again for your pictures. So both the crown and bad rose emblem on dial is still the same, damn.

Agreed real shame about the Rose. Apart from it looking the same as the V4 on my wrist!

Sorry i havent been following Tudor for a while. Previously I had a v3 BB and the cannon pinion hole issue was still there. Has it been fixed in v4 onwards? Im seeing pictures and some looks fixed, others dont look fixed. [MENTION=83013]smoke[/MENTION] do you know?

I'm not seeing this CP issue you're talking about. Can you show some pics?
