Tudor Black Bay hybrid or v2

[letterboxmind]

Loving my black bay! I don't give a shit if it's v1.5 or 2. It's a beaut.

I'm developing a rash I want one of these so badly. Still deliberating whether to wait for V2 or just go with 'new batch'. My pondering for the day...

Ok, let's get real on the pearl debate.

Gen

Two V 1.xx

Not too bad.

Now what is a huge tell that nobody is talking about yet is the pin on the second hand which is open on the rep and closed on the gen

Rep

The same thing happened with the QC photos Ryan sent me first. The Hands were bright white and the markers were almost a cream color. Luckily they were able to get another that was perfect. I just received the v2 yesterday and it is amazing, my only issue is the lume isn't as bright on the 12,3,6 and 9 markers. The hands and other markers glow like a torch.

Either way, enjoy the watch.

Thanks for the encouragement, looks like I got the watch that was originally intended for you!

Anyway Jordan sent some other pictures of the watch from other angles and the difference between hands and hour markers is only the same as other V1+ reps in this thread. Those damn light boxes used in the QC pics highlight and magnify a multitude of sins on the piece that you'd not ordinarily see on the wrist!

Btw, if you wake up and are confused by your dim hour markers, drop me a PM and I'll let you know what time it is lol! My bright hands will illuminate the way!

White Hands again!

Pearl looks more than good enough IMHO

Always hard to compare pictures with different light settings. When I saw a gen I thought the pearl was a clear tell, but perhaps the rep I seen had a bad pearl. Also that was the v1 version.

Anyway, thanks for the pics!

Can't wait for the TBB to arrive; I told myself I wouldn't be interested, but can't wait for the blue version now!

Still waiting for mine. White hands, cream hands, open pins, closed pins, inaccurate pearls ... I don't care as I'm still excited about receiving such a fine looking watch .... I hope.

Real review will need to wait, but the summary is that the bezel and crown feel more generic gen than any other rep I have had. I don't have a gen Tudor to compare it to but it feels similar to my gen SMP.
Overall finishes are a step above reps as well in the brushing and clasp feel.
