Tudor Black Bay (79230B) - Blue bezel black dial

[Adam_Smith]

Good morning!

The truth is that I am just getting started in the world of Tudor replicas, since until today I have been focused on the Rolex world. But I'm in love with this watch: https://www.tudorwatch.com/es/relojes/black-bay/m79230b-0008

I have tried to research if there is a replica, but from what I have found, there is a ZF Rep for the reference 79220B, but not 79230B. Is the difference between these two models only the in-house movement?

The only replica I have found with the blue bezel and black dial is the following: https://www.intime06.co/tudor/3834-...1-best-edition-blue-on-ss-bracelet-a2824.html But I am confused by the "Heritage 2016" and "Shield" in the title. Do they refer to the earlier version of the model I am exploring?

I've searched the forum but haven't found Gen vs Rep comparisons, nor practically reviews of this particular model. I'm not overly concerned because in general the ZF Rep's on Tudor BB's are excellent, although it would be interesting to know how accurate the bezel color is.

Do you know this model? Do you have it or can you shed some more light?

After further research, I can state that the ZF Rep is about the reference 79230B, which was introduced in 2016, and updated the Tudor Black Bay collection. In theory, therefore, the Rep is about the Gen watch that I was looking for (https://www.tudorwatch.com/es/relojes/black-bay/m79230b-0008)

However, it would be very helpful if someone could offer feedback on this Rep. Especially the bezel color. I have found on one site a Gen bezel for 350€, so I could build a Franken if needed.

Hi,

Do you have any feedback what you do and how it looks like..
I'm in the process of doing the same, right now I am waiting QC from TD.

My idea is to find original dial (what i see it is most obvious thing that is replica), low profile case beck to reduce thickness and black bezel to get look of new m7941a1a0nu.
