I received my BB Black yesterday from Ryan. Great quality from him as usually and thought I would share a pic.
It is much different and more distinguished looking than the Blue one I have. Compared to the gen from the pictures [MENTION=79621]droptopman[/MENTION] has shared it looks like it lacks texture on the dial, which I heard was similar to the Red. Both the red triangle and the hands vary in different lighting. Overall it's what I expected. I am going to keep it in the plastic for a few days as I ponder ordering the black bay One.

Is there any way you could post more pics in better light? Really interested to see it.

No filter.
Thanks for sharing the photos. It looks good. Anyway you could microshoot the dial to show the current state of the texture?

No it isn't, and that's because they aren't NATOs. They're jacquard woven fabric straps, and there's no comparison. The finishing of the hardware is worth every penny. I have the blue/white/orange strap for the THCB and the camo strap for the Ranger. The straps take the watches from nice reps to watches I'll never sell. I understand they're not everyone's cuppa, but it's inarguable that they're worth the money.
You can find the fabric straps for cheaper than that, you just have to be patient and look mostly on gen forums. They are out there though!
And to back up Ish, they are worth the money. They are the most comfortable strap I have ever worn probably, and really all I ever wore my BB on

Overall quite amazing rep. and makes me hope for the "One". As much as I love the original red Tudor Blackbay, I was always wishing to see it with the other hands as well (and some red lettering on the dial is the icing on the cake).
Like on some other reps if the gen was a picture, this is a fotocopy: all is there, a little bit less crisp, a little bit less colourful etc. as pointed out. The biggest difference to me remains the crystal, height, refraction and sharpness of the gen are really beautiful and the rep lacks/ is different in that department. It would be great for someone to discover which alternative Clarks or WSO crystal and gasket could be used (if it exists) on the Blackbays.
Huge thanks to Droptopman (really a gen to go for
and Fradisch (also a rep to go for for the respective pics so we can form our first opinions. Fantastic and very helpful!

XJ4sonx & darby g, superthanks to both, I´m already aware of it, it´s just that the TD pics didn´t convince me totally and I´m busy travelling around. This thread helped to overcome some temporary self-imposed "protest-restrictions" regarding the euro/usd exchange rate chaos the money printing in the EU is causing (without curing the problem which is simply too high taxation and lack of common sense of austerity-inspired leading EU politicians and not lack of liquidity). It won´t arrive by X-Mas anyway...
Sorry for the rant - the rep will make up for it
