New Shield Dial Black Bay

[Charima]

Received mine today. Lucky me i dont have the problems adressed some posts above. But it is fact, the sel arent that thight as they could be. Otherwise, bezel has no play, crown screws in nice and smooth and lume, dial and crystal are phenomenal. Tbh bracelet is nice but not as solid as Noobs Rolex V7 are. All in all, i am very pleased with this watch.

Gorgeous!!

The SEL has play and sits uneven on all sides.

The watch looks super nice. What is the 'SEL' mean? Thanks.

Has anyone gotten the leather strap with the deployant clasp? Looks really nice might have to get both the bracelet and the leather strap.

Thank you!! That post is funny as heck. Seems like Rolex rep owners are really anal about their SELs haha.

The SEL issue for the current batch of GMT2's are really annoying.

Just got my QC pics. I have a question for the guys who shared their examples, @PAMaholic and @kiz1

- did you guys in your QC have this type of lume mismatch on your hands and Dial? In your on wrist photos I didn't notice this type of difference. Could it be the lighting when the QC photos were taken? Is it worth rejecting or would all examples from ZF be the same probably?
- did you pick up on SEL gaps on QC? Sound like a Rolex rep owner but there seems to be a small gap in the SEL.

Timegraph is good at 6s/day

Hi mate, in QC mine looked the same... But it is not noticeable in real life as you can see in my pics. I havent askd for the sel issue. Maybe you should ask anyways.

I think the bad SELs are a flaw you must live with V1 :console:

Loving these. The revised logo / wording on the face makes the whole thing much sharper. IMHO, the rose graphic was always a tell on these reps (that and the semi-circular 'self-winding rotor' descriptor). Even the best I've seen were less than perfect. The character spacing always looked a bit off to my eye. Suprised Tudor opted to change the design for the shield / straight descriptors. Doesn't the new face design make things a bit easier for the rep factories ..?

Just got my QC pics. Is the 12 hour marker on the BB Red slightly off? The rest of the watch is fine but when I compare the 12 hour marker on the BB Red to the QC pics I got on the Bucherer Bronze, it looks slightly crooked.

It does appear slightly off by a very small margin.

Thanks. The SEL gap seems to be a problem in this version

Seems like for the Red there is also a slight difference in lume color between the hands and dial. Same as what I have on my current QC photos. Is that a non issue for you? I'm probably going to green light given @PAMaholic 's feedback on his.

I think it's fine on mine. If there's any lume colour difference it's not very noticeable. Just ordered a Martu strap for the Red BB.

Yes, lume looked the same. Once it's been in the Sun, the difference is not noticeable. And defo not noticeable in the dark.

Only thing I dislike is the SEL. The rest is great.
