I guess one day this was bound to happen. I was bound eventually to see a rep whereby there were some very slight differences, nothing to get it called out, but in every one of those tiny differences actually better than the gen. I truly believe that in this case the rep looks a better watch.

Ive put the Gen strap on the rep and wearing now, the Lume even seems better and its day!
You can tell all that from this pic? I can´t see a thing :wow:
my old V1
Easiest tell as of the printing thickness and that two stroke of line that they can never get it done right lol
Own a gen hence that's the first thing I look out for
Not the best pic but was a 1min photoshop job lol
amazing - such minor differences if you had one without the other it would be near impossible to tell.
Thanks. I've had a browse through and found some from intime, torobravos and iwatchstation. All appear to be from the same factory. The only thing left now is to decide whether I should go for a cheaper movement (23J and v3 of watch) or a 2824 movement (v4 of watch.

Many thanks [MENTION=86244]English Gent[/MENTION] for the side by side review & your thoughts.
The Tudor BB Red has evaded me so far, I think primarily because I have been weighing up getting a Gen but feedback has also previously mentioned the closeness of the rep....
Once my dalliance with picking vintage gens up has subsided I think this will be the next rep into the stable....
Appreciate you helping me to make the decision......

it is 90% of gen, really there is no difference, it even keeps better time than gen...
I know what you're saying but If overall quality, look and feel is practically gen, then nobody could realistically prove that your watch isn't a gen variation....unless of course you're a member here. Even then most members don't know what precise flaws to look out for.
Wow would feel a bit passed for the price difference... but do you have the new calibre or the 2824 variant?

Did this BB even enter the rep of the year previously? Now even more difficult to make decision on this or a Pelagos, as both model are really close.

have look on intime, it never needed a v4, as the lume colour was correct from the start.
i just ordered a black bay bronze and two day date 40s. as soon as they release the v5 im sold on it. waiting on them to fix the rose logo. also owned a pelagos v1 before. beautiful watch. those two are definately on the buying list. new blue model pelagos, owned the black before and the bb preferably v5 if its out by the time im looking to buy
