Hi

I want to buy my first decent rep and I decided that it should be a Tudor Black Bay Heritage. Now I'm not sure which one to chose between the two.
I really like the looks of the Heritage One, if it were only for the look of the watch I'd definitely go for the Heritage one. I don't mind people calling it out because there is only one made.
The reason I'm asking this is because I was wondering which watch is the best one all over. Maybe the Heritage has had more significant updates in terms of sturdyness, looks, and accuracy with the v3? Or is it the exact same watch with other hands/bezel/dial? I did search for a similar thread here, but the search came up empty.

tl;dr Which watch has the better quality?

Which one would you pick and why?

On this Tudor ONLY, I prefer the thinner, delicate(?) hands. The red on the dial (less text as well) is nice as well as the end links. Either one would look amazing on a gen Tudor black fabric strap.

I also like my dials less busy. The lollipop hand is a nice touch.
Yes, I'd definitely go for the Tudor black strap over the stainless steel strap, I think it might look good on a leather nato strap as well

Snowflake for me, although I love the look of the one watch I think the hands are too similar and it would bug me telling the time when the hands are close together.

Snowflake, its distinctive. Each producer has its own history, Tudor is interesting and this watch is sexy as all hell. Snowflake all day.

Aaagh, lately I'm tilting towards the snowflake as well.
Is the watch I linked in my first post the same as the v4? (I noticed it's also A2824-2 like the v4)
Or do you think this one ( http://www.intime.co/tudor/1445-her...ck-bezel-black-dial-on-ss-bracelet-a2824.html ) is the better rep of the two?
I really like the red triangle around the pearl, but I'd prefer the more decently built watch of course.
The black BB heritage also has a red triangle, I think this is fantasy.
I´d go between the original red BB or the One without the Snowflake hands, it´s such a beautiful watch - but there is only one.

The snowflake is traditional on Tudors. That's the Tudor trademark. I'd get the snowflake. No doubt about it.

I would choose the black bay black because I prefer the look of the 15 minute bezel and I don't like the straight end link bracelet on the black bay one that leaves a gap between the case and bracelet. I actually prefer the straight hands and lollipop seconds on the black bay one though.

I went ahead and bought the v2 Snowflake with toro!
I just received the QC pictures and was wondering wether you think the left side of the bezel is weirdly aligned? Maybe it's just the angle of the picture though. I emailed toro and asked him the same thing. The watch looks great in every other aspect!

No free strap, alas! The one on intime came with a free strap as well, I picked this one just because it said it was the v2 of the one with gold markers.
The v1 of this watch came with a free strap on intime, as well as the regular v4 in any color.
