Looks pretty good on first glance. The new in house versions are thicker so hopefully ZF got the case size correct.

I'm actually pretty damn impressed, dial print looks nice engravings look very well, is it same as gen, hmm not sure I'd have to do a side by side tonight but looks like a very solid offering! Hoping the black/with red triangle gets released or the red bezel

i just compared some pictures of the gen and it seems the pearl construction is off on the rep. lume color on the gen appears to have a slight minty tint whereas the rep seems to be pure white. those 2 things aside i still think this thing is BADASS.

Thanks for posting. Looks pretty spot on to me. Been waiting for the shield version to pull the trigger, just gotta wait for black one

The shield logo looks to be a massive improvement over the previous versions rose.

If it was anything but the blue bezel, I probably would have bought this. Hopefully we see some other options in the coming days.

Finally the shield logo is arrived! The rose was very very bad for my opinion! We need also the rivet bracelet for have the heritage version!

Just noticed this on PT as well.
Will wait for the red or black version since the blue lacks that pop for me with the silver markers.

I literally just pulled the trigger for the Red Black Bay. I'm hoping they still have the rose version. In the PT description it says the thickness is 11mm (like gen) but the description of the rose version is also 11mm. I went to see both versions at an AD and there is definitely a difference in thickness. Do the rivets look on point?

The missing petal on the rose logo always bugged me. So pleased to see the shield dial BB. Holding off until Black version is released.

Yeah. The dial on the previous rep was never very good. Looked very flat compared to gen and the rose was bafflingly poor.

The new Black bay is thicker, like 14mm or something close to that. So if new shield one is still 11 then it will actually be too thin. The new movement is almost 2mm thicker. I think though they are using the same case but with a domed back.
