Need your help on my first Rep( Tudor BB Red with Rose Logo)

[JohnyP30]

Hello, how are you guys holding up?
This is my first forum post,sorry for my lack of knowledge.

So.... as you guys can see i want to buy a Rep of Tudor BB red with the rose logo. I did my research on movements, TD's and whats the watch that i want for my personal taste. I'm a young dude, so i want something sporty and classy at the same time, so red BB is the perfect choice in my opinion.
I got my search nailed down to 2 watches, all the same but different versions, i think so.
I live in Portugal, so i need the UK shipping process.
(anyone from Portugal tho?)
Well...
I found this one from InTime, its the Heritage Black Bay ZF V4 Version on Bracelet A2824 and for an extra 15$ i can get a leather strap.( https://www.intime02.co/promotions/1443-heritage-black-bay-zf-best-version-on-bracelet-a2824.html )

But i also found this on PureTime , Heritage Black Bay ZF 1:1 Best Edition on Bracelet A2824 V5 ( Red).( https://puretime05.com/heritage-black-bay-zf-1-1-best-edition-on-bracelet-a2824-v5.html )

Now my the question is...
I know that the V4 version is pure fire!! Really great REP, but, there is always a but, The Puretime sells a newer version, version 5!
I didn't find anything about the V5. My question is: Is really any ZF with V5? it might be, since Puretime is a TD but i didn't found anything.
In your veterans opinion, what watch should i go to! The V4 with and extra leather strap? or the newer version, the V5?
( Honestly i only care about the watch, i don't even like leather watches,)
If you read this far, thank you for your time, i really appreciate it!
Cheers and happy Repping!

They look the same. Looks too me that one TD is just changing the name a little to get the edge. I am sure you will be happy with both. Good luck.

I recently got the B.B. Red (ZF) from Puretime and it’s a stunning rep-very good quality. I would imagine that any of the two TDS you have mentioned could provide the leather strap-you May way to send a quick e mail to PT and check that though. I have bought quite a few watches from Puretime through Francis (who is no longer there) however have always found them fantastic to deal with. You won’t go wrong with either dealer as they are both TDs-however I can only comment on PT my experience with PT has always been first class. I had an issue with a PAM and they sorted it immediately, have always communicated brilliantly and have been easy to deal with.

Hope this helps-the BB is a great choice in general although I personally prefer the shield version over the Rose.

Do my eyes trick me or is the bezel on the ZF BB Red more of a maroon color compared to the gen which is more of a brighter red?

It is one and same watch. PT called it "V5" because they used to add a rep nato strap. Rep nato is nowhere close to the gen Tudor nato.

I see differences in the dial and thickness.
If it’s just because of the thickness I would choose the flat one.
As I read, the forum members prefer the version with the shield logo. Why is this so?
Are there more tells on the rose version than on the shield version?

thanks in advance,
really looking forward buying this piece

Major tell in ETA model it’s the rose logo,ZF don’t get it made as gen..
so shield version could be consider better,but with watch on your wrist rose print can’t be a tell...it need macro pics to see it..

 

[RepWatchNoob]

Yknjs So the ETA model was the first Gen and it had the same thickness as the Rep?
so what else tells are there? if it is just the rose and you can just see it on a macro pic I would not really care.
I have a thin wrist so I would go for the thinner version.
