Hi everyone. I tried using the search feature to no avail, so I thought it necessary to create this thread because I desperately need your help!

I'm eyeing two identical watches, except that one has a black dial, and the other blue:

http://www.intime.co/tag-heuer/2367...edition-blue-dial-on-ss-bracelet-cal1887.html

For anyone that has any experience with these models, could you share your opinion on how accurate the blue colour is to the gen? Also, overall, which is more accurate to the gen?

Thank you very much! So glad to have found you guys.

You'll notice they're not quite identical. The first watch has the tachymetre on the bezel. The second has it inside the crystal, and the time gradations are more prominent. The second watch has the secs@9 dial inset.

They are both very close to gen, but I prefer the 2nd watch with black dial. I emailed Intime about it. They asked me to place a website order for the 2nd one and write in the order comments that I want the black dial version.

Received QC pics yesterday, but the logo was crooked so I rejected it. They are going to get another watch and send QC pics soon.

Every one of those I've seen has a slightly crooked logo, I don't know if they're all the same or if some are worse than others but it doesn't bother me one bit on mine.

Here's my QC pic of the black dial.
[MENTION=115439]britain4[/MENTION], how does the logo alignment compare to yours?

@britain4, how does the logo alignment compare to yours?

I think that's probably a bit further out than mine actually looking back at my QC pics, maybe try one more and hope it's better - as I say all the ones I've seen have been a bit out and all in the same direction.

Re your Black Tag does the colour of the Dial face sometimes look Blue depending on the light ?
Thanks

This watch is not available as far as all the TD sellers have told me
Would like to know who really has it
But from what ive been told its only available in Black dial
I have been after a Blue dial
Ive been told the Black dial has a Blue AR that gives it a Blueish look
But not 100% sure.
