Tudor Black Bay Harrods Edition

[preppyr6]

Im still debating whether to swap out my BBR for this BBG (or would it be BBV???). I really like the improved raised print...I wonder if/how long ZF will take to carry that over to the other BBs. Its my biggest grip with my current BB.

Hi guys,

I just signed up to this forum after being a regular visitor for 9 months. In that time I have purchased a few replicas based on the advise given.

Now onto the Tudor Black Bay Harrods special Edition. I am fortunate enough to have the gen but as I do not want to use it and scratch it over time I purchased the ZF from Toro which arrived yesterday. I currently have it on the brown strap which I also got from Toro and must say that a good quality strap makes the watch look different and my personal opinion is that it looks better on leather than SS bracelet.

I have compared them both together and can see where the ZF is not on parr.

Rotor Noise - ZF version is bit noisy (but can live with it)
Dial Print - The green text on the ZF is a different shade of green and should be the same colour as the bezel. The same goes for the print in general, it is not as raised as the gen.
Seconds hand - On the ZF the green hand is once again a different shade and should be the same colour as the bezel
Hour Markers - These are much flatter on the ZF. The gen is slightly raised and has rounded edges on the gold.
Bezel - The clicks on the bezel sound different and there is some play on it.
Crown - Not engraved deep enough like the gen
Case back - Not as deep as the gen and the text size is a touch small.
Lume - The lume is really good but does not last long as the gen but this is expected. Slightly off in terms of shade but brighter than the gen

Overall I would say 90% like gen and for that price you cant go wrong.

I don't have any pics of the two side by side but happy to take some and post to this thread if anyone is interested.

Some pics of the rep. Gen one on the right but will take some more detailed pics

Zero play! Best bezel assembly under $300. It’s an amazing Rep.
