This is one of the best I’ve seen. Only definite tells are the printing and the hole in the center. Even the pearl on this one isn’t really a tell to me.

So is this the best we can get ?
Is it safe to say it is qualified as a First Class REP ? But why is it not under the Consensual List of Superreps.
I'm looking to get a BB. But the Red doesnt suit me.

I agree, I don't understand how the red BB can be a super rep but the Black is not? don't they have the same dial etc with the only exception being the bezel no?
The red triangle on the bezel of the rep is not as "red" as the gen. I compared my rep to a gen and it was the only obvious tell. Only way to solve is get a gen bezel insert.
Hey guys can I reopen this discussion real quick?
What is wrong with the rose version? Because I think I preferred that build to the newer shield version

Not sure you ever got a response on this, but if you didnt find it in the forum then here goes:
Rose version (recalling from memory):
1) One of the rose petals was missing an edge, resulting in easy tell vs gen if you laid them side by side
2) Rose engraving in crown, I believe it was too shallow (but dont quote me on this)
3) Dial printing, too flat compared to gen (Shield has same problem, but the newer releases have much better printing)
4) Case thickness, its too thick compared to gen. Shield version is correct thickness (bc Tudor actually made the Shield version thicker for the in-house mvmt, which just so happened to match the ZF case size perfectly)
In my opinion, the latest releases (BB Harrods edition, and Gold&Steel) are the best of the bunch due to improved dial printing. But the BB Red, and BB Black (Shield) are amazing. I believe the BB Blue may have an issue with the blue insert color, but I cant remember.
Hope that helps...
Thanks man yeah it did, I went for the bb black in the end, now just waiting for the bb58 and bb41
