Tudor Black Bay hybrid or v2
- Thread starter kayabun
- Start date
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.
Congrats!

Nice and congrats. But we can now say for sure V2 is not out yet. Or at least the V2 with improvements is not. This one looks exactly like my V1.
take a look at the pearl, the much better lume, the same gold-color of hands and marker surroundings and the rolling serial number as well:
---> yepp , it´s the V2 - or maybe something between V1 and V2 <----
(...I´ve received my QC pics from Sead and compared them with my V1 - must say: two different watches...!)

Demanding little **** aren't you.
Every one posted of this new batch has a different serial number.
Even if the serial number is different now the flaws still persist. I don't know why you guys try to make the watch better than it is. Because you bought it? Must be v2 right? Flawed pearl and glass are still there. For everyone to see. Look at the gen comparison and compare it to your v2.

Scroll down to the pearl pictures.
now cool down, it's a great watch but there is room to improve. No need for insults. Your mother wouldn't be proud of you ! ;-) (mothers day today)

I am dinning with my mother. She agrees with me on this.
I am a serial watch churner I feel no need to overstate the quality of a rep. But facts are facts. There were several improvements in this version. But for ***** sake we are on V 1000 of the Sub and there are still plenty of issues.

We are the 'idiots' who got what we are happy with.
Reps have flaws. Version numbers are never ending.
Go gen if you cannot be happy.
I don't think they will not improve everything in the so called True v2.
Why not we just wait for it to be out then buy it and enjoy it again.
Be Happy with your watch, no need to be unhappy about anything.
As I said: it's a great rep and absolutely worth the money but stop acting like they improved major aspects in the so called new version. I Dont need a flawless rep but if you guys start being content with a flaw which is noticeable and can be improved without big problems then the makers will happily sell you the watch and stop trying harder.
Got the v1 and will buy the v2 in blue if the pearl is ok . If not someone else will buy it..easy.

Received mine today from Sead. It is fabulous. The hands are exactly the same two colours as the markers - whoever threw that scare bomb needs their ass kicked. I would say the pearl is a fraction lower where it sits in the triangle but without a loupe it is not noticeable and perfectly acceptable. I don't know what issues people have with the crystal but it seems totally fine to me. The second hand 'centre' is hollow unlike the gen but hell you will go cross eyed trying to spot that. Really love how easy it is to resize the bracelet (seriously LMPO makers, you really should learn from this). I am new around here but really pleased with my purchase, this is a lovely looking watch.
Novum. I think it is important to discuss observations and opinions but your contributions really could be a little more positive. Maybe you didn't mean to sound so scathing but I think your comments have kinda 'pissed on the bonfire of excitement' for people who have just made a nervy purchase.
I have absolutely no idea what a version 1.xxx or a version 2 or who decides such mathematical concepts but I do know this is a lovely retro style watch with a modern twist. For those of you waiting still, fear not, you are going to love it.
Peace out to all us freaks
Love Rusty

Didn't mean to. You bought a great watch and there's nothing to regret.
Would love to hear angus and his explanation about the whole Vxxxx stuff.
Will there be a better pearl or not...?
