cant believe they painted the second hands tip red! Awful! Would have bought this in a heartbeat

Just got word from my dealer that the hands will be correct. However, the side of the case seems polished in gloss black.

Heres a photo showing the polished side which should be matte instead.

Gen's polished as well, think its just the bright studio lighting making it look SS instead of black. See attached.

Maybe Gen was made with PVD but the Rep was DLC. Difference coating texture.

Im not saying its Polished SS. Its a Polished Black colour. The video shows a brushed black finish on the gen

I just wonder when they will change the description on all new tudors to the correct case height of 15mm. All of the new ones still say 11mm height (same as gen) even though its not same as gen but in reality the rep is same as gen haha

The straps might have too much white in them wish they had a bracelet version

Will probably come soon, but not really a fan of the dlc coated bracelet as it has the sel gap.

I think you nailed it--I vaguely recall a discussion recently about how DLC doesn't allow the graining of a satin brushed finish to show whereas that isn't a problem with other coatings. I really hope it isn't as glossy as that InTime picture makes it appear--one of my favorite aspects of the BBD are the brushed surfaces and to lose that would be a dealbreaker.

Thanks for the pic, that looks great. Did you happen to get any of the brushed sides of the case?

 

[thrillofhunt]

The sides are not brushed. Its 100% a glossy surface.

After several emails to TDs, looks like the factory just DLC coated over the standard BBH case. Disappointing
