Exactly that. I've got a Steinhart Ocean One, and I realised that for that same amount I can have a very good Noob V7. On the other hand, the ETA 2824-2 Elaboré that the Steinhart is sporting has 0.1 beat error and runs +1s/d, from factory. And it's still on those specs after countless trips through the countryside, ocean,, mountains and bike rides. None of my reps are even close to that performance.
...might strip the movement off and put it in my Noob explorer, lol!
Nice!
I'm glad to see people jumping in on this.
GREAT NEWS for me is that my Tudor should be here tonight via DHL!
I wont get home from work until 8:30pm unfortunately
But that gives me 2 hours of play time befor eI go to bed LOL
Will post pics of course

Make sure you get that review up before bed! (kidding.... kinda) I'm interested if you think the insert has the same matt / satin finish to the gen or if its different. I think much of what make this watch such a peach is the interplay between the gilt and the different blacks on the dial and bezel.
@Hinclimincli - O1VR here. I've thought about swapping over the movement, but have been told by some folks here that it would mean different hands, and relume to match the watch. I settled with sending my Noob Sub for a service - the movement was missing a few teeth, and dirty, but now has a few ETA bits and pieces inside and it runs fantastic.
Nice.
The sample I was sent is freaking fantastic and unheard of.
Biggest tells I look for are the shade of red on the bezel triangle (rep seems darker) and also the application of lume/ paint in each of the hour markers, especially the 12 o clock triangle because intimes stock photo has a screwed up triangle! LOL
My QC seemed to show that my rep had NONE of these defaults
The timegraph also showed great amplitude with accuracy of +1 sec/day if that's true that means it is 1 sec/day more accurate than my gen rolex.
Can't wait to show you guys the watch regardless
Only thing not fixable so I didn't address it, was the incompletely filled in Tudor rose logo on the dial
Actually I just saw some ZF factory reps with the shield. They look fantastic!! I'm not familiar with ZF factory though. But the people say they are the best Tudor reps out there. Maybe you know about ZF?
Anyways wanted to give you the heads up there are new reps with the shields [emoji1365][emoji3]

Yes different. But I was just showing that the shield is there. I've seen they have several different models. Not sure which ones exactly. I haven't looked that far into though. Are you familiar with that factory?

Yes I'm pretty familiar with ZF. Pretty good stuff. I'm wearing mine right now and am extremely happy with it

I actually love that new Tudor black bay (steel & gold). Such a beauty. Obviously that's not a rep but it's really nice. And It makes me want one. I also love the red bezel on those watches.
