Gen Tudor Black Bay v Rep v4

[English Gent]

Well... what can I say.

I owned one of the first Black Bay reps (v2), and had to have it re-lumed, but fell in love with the watch, so bought a Gen.

To see if the quality of the new v4 was any good, I decided to get one since its on offer, and I have to say its flawless in my eyes, in some ways even nicer... I think the pearl on the gen is flawed anyway.

So time to sell the Gen I think (Ill put on here first if any interest, before the Gen sites)

sorry for only one pic, but lighting is not best at the moment



Gen is on the left

if interest I can take better pics later another day

Seems like they haven't quite solve the Tudor Rose logo printing on the rep yet

[English Gent]

Can you explain. Can't see any difference. And I'm a designer. Lol

Hi English Gent. Would love to see more comparison pictures whenever You find the time. It´s always a unique opportunity when You have both in hands. Has the x-tal shaping been improved on the V4 compared to other versions? It sure looks great on the pic.
Not getting the gen, that´s one thing, now letting the gen You already have go - that´s on another level Is it that good? Impressed.

[English Gent]

Will do, when have good lighting, but the v4 even has lovely shine to the bronze/gold on the hands the gen has, which the v2 didn't

Hi Gent

Would love to know where you got your rep! I'm from london too and am looking for this exact watch. You mentioned you got it on offer, where did you get it from?

Look on the Dealers page. Lots of trusted dealers carry this watch.

Thanks for posting this comparison OP. I'm sold. I've always liked the BBs, but a v4 will definitely be my next purchase!

From Intime, trusted dealer, comes with both straps, but leather one is pants!

 

[English Gent]

Ill take better pics today with both straps off if I can.

I can say with hand on heart, unless the movement is pants, time will tell, its the closest rep Ive ever seen, and Im a Gen collector that only buys reps either to test out before buying gen, or buying brands i would never buy in real life (Rolex, Pam, IWC etc) because there overpriced and my friends would think Ive gone all show offie... I have TC Subs, but never ware then out in front of friends..lol they would laugh, But every collection has to have a fake Rolex! or 2

Now for more detailed pics and a macro, the Gen is on left in all pics, and yes under macro the print on the rep isn't as 3d... BUT... there is a £2000 price difference...

Nice. Thanks for sharing. I'll add this watch to the "not worth buying gen thread".
