New ZF Tudor Black Bay 54

Have a larger wrist than that so I'd be cleared to buy it - great tip! Thanks a lot! I'll check that out.
Fully agree, mate!
Look, this is my first Tudor ever. I had tried quite a few of them at the boutique before, and although I liked the designs and options, I always felt like the cases were just too tall and chunky, and I'm not a guy with a small wrist at all. So comfort, or the lack thereof, while on my wrist were the deal breakers in those cases, even though I really liked many of those models.
Now, this watch, it's got a thin case and sits pretty low on the wrist, which paired to its 37mm make for a super comfortable wear. That, plus its texturized 'blue lagoon' dial sealed the deal for my first Tudor this time.

Getting To Know The Place
I don’t even like this dial color usually but I have a soft spot for metal bezels so gimme dis.
on paper i shouldn't like this, but there's something about it the whole thing..... i'm really into it. very nice summer piece, i dig it
The bezel doesn't speak to me but the dial texture does.Picked this beauty yesterday so can contribute with a few shots.
When looking at the online release photos, I thought great piece, fantastic dial, shame on the polished mirrored bezel instead of brushed/matte one.
In person, this bezel is nice. Also, it's so reflective than it ends up taking on the color of its surroundings or whatever is being mirrored in there instead of being a plain polished stainless steel color -- can't really describe it or capture it but it's n nice effect.
Proportions and dimensions are just top notch. Could not have asked for a better summer watch just in time for it.
The crown tube is long or you left the crown unscrewed?
That's the crown fully screwed!
And yes, that texturized ice blue dial is just something else. Photos don't do any justice.

Mine has also froze up.just a little "psa":
My ZF BB54 stopped working today. No reason I could think of, but the seconds hand just wouldnt work. I expected some damage / broken movement, so I started looking for a movement I could swap in. Still no clue what that movement should be as I would like a no-date/no-ghost-position movement w/o modding the keyless myself.
I opened the watch up: A tiny screw from the movement loosened and fell into the balance wheel, blocking it.
(excuse the bad pics, I had very bad lighting - perfect condition to work on watches, but I wanted to know whats up)
With the screw removed (and put back in place, but that shouldnt matter
tl;dr: Check the screws of your a2824 ...
Everyone says SW200-1b is a straight swap. No ghost date either. $190 on eBay rn.
Haven’t opened mine up yet, will need to get Rolex/tudor opener.
Anyone know if we can take ZF crown and stem and directly swap this into the SW200?
I'm replying to my own post so I can update y'all.
I purchased $6 worth of lume powder on Amazon, I mixed it with jewelers glue and placed a drop in the cavity where the missing pip was and I'm pleased with the results. Here's a wrist shot and a lume shot (a blurry lume shot but you get the idea).
Link to the Lume and glue mix? My pip is also gone & this looks like a much better match than comes out the factoryI'm replying to my own post so I can update y'all.
