Here's a close up of the original. Lume looks to be whiter too

About the Lume color it's hard to say, look at this gen picture for example, doesn't look as white.

If the lume color is the same as the gen red black bay , then the lume should be creamy white. Close to aromatik pic.

thanks for the pics Aromatik!
The triangle doesn't look that bad in the second picture. Lacks the pop on the gen but not bad.

Just got mine. I had a red one already (ZF V3). Pearl is much better, dial printing and lume application slightly better. Overall it's an amazing rep, I guess the red triangle could have been a little bit brighter but that's a small detail...

I'm getting my red V3 today from Ryan. I def want this and make a His & Hers just to make the wifey happy but ever since someone pointed out the red triangle, I can't get it off my head and think I should wait.

That lume is way too yellow. It's supposed to be cream colored.

Looks solid, with a gen in the same type of lighting, the lume looks extremely close. It's only useful comparing pictures with similar lighting, as it can really throw off the shade.


[MENTION=99603]Aromatik[/MENTION] You've got a stunning example there, the lume looks well applied, and the gold hands/indices have a great finish!

Man, he must have jumped on this watch quickly! I'd definitely be grateful for a gen owner to weigh in

Hi guys, this looks pretty darn good. No disrespect meant here, just answering the question based on my limited knowledge.

The texture on the insert is not as refined and the fonts look a little thinner. Pearl and triangle look pretty good but on the gen, the pearl actually sits below the metal surround and appears opaque. Texture on the dial is similar to the insert in that it is close but not as "textured/refined" as the gen. Lume plots on the gen are flatter/cleaner and more creamy white. Rose gold versus yellow gold on the indices and hands. Bevels slightly more pronounced on the gen. The SEL middle ridge is sharper on the gen.

All very nitpicky, this looks like a very nice rep to me. I will put up some macos I took the other day with my phone here in a second.

Thanks for those gen pics droptopman.
That first picture that shows the dome of the crystal, and the texture of the dial is freakin amazing.
If the rep is half that good I will be happy.

For the red triangle and lume color it really depends of the light in fact. Here is a wrist shot outside to get an idea, on this it looks really accurate. Texture on the dial insert is same as the red one (ZF V3) so almost none...

Anyone know where to buy gen tudor nato straps for the black bay? AD has them for 180 for strap and 180 for hardware ... 260 total ... Abit ridiculous.

The black bay black would look amazing on a gen nato.
