Tudor Black Bay Eifty-Eight 58 Review comparison ZF to GEN // Many Photos

[Caril]

Thank you for this very nice comparison. I came here after receiving my ZF and thinking “great new vintage feel, but this lume is a bit to white and greenish, and even during the day it seems to shine, and this clashes with the vintage vibe of the watch”.

Has anyone attempted to yellow down the lume, with simpler means like coffee water?

Hi - BB58 gen owner here.
Great comparison, thank you for sharing. I could spot the rep immediately because I'm staring at the gen most days. The lume pip; numerals and font colour were the giveaways (aspects which you have covered in detail above). Shame about the crown - one of the more desirable characteristics imo
@Caril - the lume colour is very consistent on the gen so could be hard to replicate

Got a local seller, selling this. It’s 20% below market and new.

Looks a bit off to me. Font and finishing. Wonder if it’s just me being paranoid. Or does anyone else think this is a rep?

Damn, I guess I should have got saved a whole lot of money and got a tudor..

Great review overall, the ZF really holds up well against the genuine.

are the differences of dial teeth and crown tube visible from nearby, or someone has to do real close inspection to identify

Great review, and congrats on the beautiful watch!

Nice comparison!
Its weird to ask, but can you try put ZF bracelet on Gen to see if it fits? I believe they are both 20mm. I have a gen BB 58 with leather strap but now I want bracelet one.
My TD said ZF bracelet is good one but he not sure it will fit on gen BB58 or not. It would be wonderful if you can help me out with that before I make purchase ZF bracelet.
Thank you. Really appreciate it!

I'm also interested in this if anybody knows. Anyhow - I guess I'll just order myself one and try...
