DIF Tudor Black Bay 41 Monochrome - Might Take the Crown Over ZF?

[Reaps]

So a small unknown factory, out of the blue, releases a better Tudor BB 41 than ZF, bothering to mod the ghost date, but also focusing on things (we) as collectors care about, lume mismatch, subtle sunburst, better bracelet chamfering. Things that have been glaring issues on many BB models.

This is why I think ZF deserves all the shit. They need competition and I hope DIF releases more Tudor models to compete with fucking ZF factory (which, I think is actually should be called laZy Factory

I think if anybody want a „almost“ perfect monochrome try to get a DIF … it is absolutely stunning..
Maybe the only Pointe which could be not 100% Like gen is the glas … i seems acc. to some pics in the Internet the gen glas could be a very very tiny bit higher than rep … See acc. to my second pic …

To be honest … i like the glas beeing a Bit more flat

Thanks. I assumed it should be an ETA 2824 based movement indeed. Would be perfect, easy to replace with an SW200

has anyone done this? IS it a straight swap? Interested as i picked up the ZF version, which i am pretty happy with.

I did it with my BB54, it's a straight swap

You got me, I've just placed an order for this one. I'm very curious. Its nice to see a factory which is caring for the details, even if the crystal could have been a bit more domed
