Angus said they were intending to correct blue bezel colour
That's good news. Do you think the bezel on the new one will fit the old? I have a blue V2 or V3, the only thing that bugs me is the wrong bezel color. If so, i hope one of the TDs will be able to sell only the bezel insert for upgrade.

Well if the dimensions on the td website are right then it looks as if they are just using the old cases with upgraded dial, insert, and bracelet. Should swap over then.

That sucks to hear. If the cases are the wrong proportion, i don't consider this watch NWBIG.

I took this from http://watchesbysjx.com/2016/04/explaining-whats-new-with-the-revamped-tudor-heritage-black-bay.html - As it explains better than me what to expect the differences to be. "As a consequence of the in-house movement which is 6.5 mm high, compared to 4.7 mm for the ETA 2824, the new Black Bay is slightly thicker. The case remains exactly the same (with a diameter of 41 mm) but the case back is now slightly domed instead of being flat as in the first generation. On the wrist the difference is not obvious." -

Nice link. I hope they get it. It would be a shame if the new one got the old high.

I've been waiting for the shield dial to be repped. Hopefully the black bezel version will be available soon!

I had similar post with my review on it not too long ago, along with a video of the watch from trusty

I believe that no one has yet seen the new version of the rep in real life

Have you physically verified the case thickness? I ask because I saw elsewhere that the case was the same size as the ETA/Rose version.

Ordered the watch and waiting on it to verify but I'm certain that it is thicker based on the video o attached. You can see the bump on the case back and that's what causes the increase in thickness (actually dimensions of the case did not change other than the extra room created in the back to make room for the new movement in gen...and rep is simply being truthful to the gen)

I would not trust the dimensions listed on the TD sites. You can find a gen vs rep comparison of the ZF v4 (or earlier versions) which shows that the case thickness of the eta version of the gen and rep are same which is 12.7mm where it is listed as 11mm everywhere

I put my rep bracelet on a friends gen black bay this weekend. His brother also have a gen black bay with shield logo. I will try to get both watches and make photos.

Does anyone know if any of the TDs have confirmed that the steel version would be released anytime soon?

The BB looks amazing.. and so would the steel bezel version!
