Mystery Factory Tudor Black Bay progress pics

We'll see. Considering the gen uses an ETA as well, you won't be that far off base with the rep if it is decent quality. From reading the RG thread, however, I suspect price is going to be between $300 and $400 with decent movement. Angus is saying it's going to be on par with the Pams that people are paying top bucks for, so it naturally is going to be priced accordingly.

I bet A2836 would be $268 to $289 and Swiss would be $389. Just my uneducated guess.

Damn, why did I have to read this thread :wyliehelp:

This is gonna be nice! Can't wait

Well I think most parts are done, just the bracelet to finish up. Shouldn't be far away. But who knows in the rep game.

Yeah I think it's only the bracelet now. Can't wait for it to be out.

Oh man, this had better not be a belated April Fool's joke....

I've toyed with building one, but that's off the table after seeing these pics. I could never come as close detail wise. A must have for me.

:wub: trailie wants one as well.
That looks sooo close, a super rep for sure.

Wish I was looking at a Pelagos.

Finally ! My favorite Tudor

That is quite an impressive rep.

I'm sure it will rock! this will be my first rep purchase, of a watch I have the gen of.

:sneakyrubbinghands: now aaaallllll the wise-ass clever doubtfull clowns I know, soon shall see the quality of the reps!!! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Rep on the left?

I know next to nothing about this watch, other than I want one... but the lume looks like crap.

I'm guessing left too... I do hope that it is just an early sample that has been handed around a few times, and that is why the "D" in swiss made is half gone, and the lume has dirt on it.....
if that is the case, then the only issue I can see, is the leaves on the rose being a tad smudgy, but really, we're talking about not a real problem.

 

[TESLA760]

The lume application leaves a lot to be desired, but that's the case with every rep under macro shots. Nothing that Strodda can't fix for me !!

Hehe, just shows how far they've come.

The rep is on the right.

The smudges and marks on the gen have come from it being handled by the rep makers.

 

[trksh-bzr]

That's good news!

:facepalm:

Are you kidding ???

 

[trksh-bzr]

Now that you said ir, the right one looks like it is flat and only the left one looks domed. I wouldn't be surprised if the big flaw on this one Will be a flat dial..?

God, I hope not...

(Awaiting bonesey to report back if they mention domed dials in the RG thread)

Jealous!

I still want a gen. I figure once they are available in the States, used examples will pop up in a year or two at a price I'm comfortable paying. In the mean time, I'm lusting after a correct-ish rep. This is the first 'new' watch that has really got my attention in a long time.

 

[PecMan]

nice simple , classic , good looking watch , quality looks amazing , very close to gen , closer than ever

 

[hurk]

Wish I was looking at a Pelagos.

Same here.

Not a big fan of the black bay, no offense to anyone. Just my personal opinion.

Can't wait to see a pelagos being repped.
I'd pick that up in a heart beat!!

Yeah I think it's only the bracelet now. Can't wait for it to be out.

You know, at this point I'd rather them take the time and get the bracelet perfect. The pressure that we are putting on them will eventually lead them to a "it's good enough, release it" scenario.

Then we'll be staring at the Black Bay V2 before this time next year, with a new and improved bracelet. LOL....
