New ZF Tudor Black Bay 54

Here you go kids. My QC pics. Thanks to y'all I'm now paranoid about misaligned markers and pips, but it looks pretty darn good to me.

Did you RL or GL this one?

Nothing wrong with the alignment lol. That’s the perfect example of a rep

I ended up RL-ing one with Hont. Unfortunately there was no alternative until after CNY. They were extremely helpful and understanding. So if you weren’t too picky (like me!) they might have one for someone.

I can't tell from the pictures but does this have the dial texture issue like the BB58?

It appears the gen dial is smooth, can anyone confirm.

Pic of gen below.

Gen has (mild) sunburst.

It does, but it’s really, really subtle. Much more subtle than the 39mm Pelagos. I’d rather the rep be flat rather than with an OTT sunburst. (And let’s face it - matt is better on a Sub-like watch)

First runs are always a work in progress. Color of lume on hands could be reflection from gold plating.
Has potential.

I agree with you, really quite good first attempt that can only be improved on.

Such. A. Beauty. I'd argue a NWBIG piece. Might have to add to the collection.

I really hope so but want to get it in hand first, oil up the bracelet and get it on wrist. Cannot wait

Right there with you. I'm really hoping they nailed the mechanics of the t-fit clasp.

They did it for the BBPro and was a dream on my ZF BBPro.

Okay so who's getting theirs first? Mine just cleared Chinese Customs.

You’re in the lead apparently. Mine has “arrived at departure transport hub”

I’m guessing cleared customs is next?

In this case, it cleared China, not US. So it hasn't been handed over to the airline, which would be the next reporting step.

I am a once-a-day guy in that sense. I just order so much shit I already know what each next step is
