Hello folks,

Those of you who purchased the new version(s) of the Tudor Black Bay Bronze (v2 and v3), do you mind sharing a few pics for comparison sake? There are plenty of v1 owners (including myself) and pics but there are hardly any (other than dealer pics) for the newer versions. I am trying to see if the new version is worth upgrading and/or if the ZF v2 is better/worse than the kw V3.

I normally kw over ZF but the TD pics of the ZF seems more gen like (i.e. blingy and goldish) but again, real pics would definitely help.

So, go ahead, and please show us your beautiful Tudor Black Bay Bronzes!

im surprised that there wasnt a lot of posts about the upgraded bronze bay! It supposedly more gen like now with the alu-bronze case.

Ughhh I really want to be happy with my v1 but why am I such a perfectionist when it comes to these reps?? I can't afford my own OCD hobbies.

Tell me about it..I'm seriously considering getting professional help with that. I feel physically ill if I don't have anything incoming all the time. ALL the time...And this place is of no help at all :)

I was trying to quote you when I asked about the version but looks like it didn't work out. I am rather happy with the v1 but am really interested to see this new versions too. Based on the td pics, the main difference between zf and kw appears to be on the bezel insert color (much darker on the ZF and more brownish on the kw)...really curious to see real pics

I'd be happy to post some when I lay my hands on it. But I'm sure someone else will do that before I do, because I need triangle shipping and that takes a considerable ammount of time.

Amazing watch (ZF), ofcourse some flaws but a great bronze watch for an great price. Keeps time better than most of my genuine watches.

I have the feeling that the dial should be darker, on the gen the writing (tudor) and markers show better...

Is that ZF? It looks like a V1 (and not the v2). If it is v2, then I don't see any real update at all.

I think the dial color is OK actually. Under certain lighting, the gen looks just like that too (very light chocolate)

Yes version 1... bought it for a good price from a forummember. Amazing watch, the strap also looks/feels nice...

Here are some pics of my V3 KW I got yesterday. It's a solid watch, but not my style at all. Way to brown for me :) The bezel has a good action, but it does have a mm of play..The case is already building up some patina.
