Tudor Black Bay hybrid or v2

Good point. It seems to me they did a very good job on version1. I honestly don't see the point in you buying any of these. Unless you wanted a blue one of course.

There is a difference between the pearl in the V1 and the V2 or V1.5, but which is closer to gen?

I actually have not seen a v1 to compare to this latest one I got.

there is a comparison on repgeek...gen vs rep.

I am apparently not cool enough for rep geek. Who posted it to see if they are on one of the friendly rep sites as well?

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

Hi Rusty,

Glad you got your TBB okay; as I type mine from Ryan is customs cleared at DHL East Mids airport! (Beginning to think the anticipation is becoming part of the fun in a perverse way)

Wandering what the scarebomb is here and why my metamorphic 'ass' needs to be 'kicked'; the QC pics I received show whiter hands than the hour markers

Great QC pics morninglory. Has it arrived?

 

[morninglory]

Out for delivery!:nana:

 

[mrrusty]

Having fun with the pictures? Point taken. I reckon it's something to do with the weirdness of photos. I noticed last night that the lume is much brighter on the hands than the markers. Also the lume is less bright on the 12,3,6,9. Maybe this is why the hands look white on your picture. Hopefully it will arrive safely and be everything you want it to be.

To be honest I was getting fed up with people mentioning stuff and taking the wind out of my sails... hope that makes sense. I withdraw my right foot from your meteoric arse and apologise ...

Someone try these hands and tell us if they are a better match.

Mine match just fine. Even through loupe

The lume material on mine is noticeably whiter on the hands than the dial markers. I think this is a fairly common issue.

No probs Mr Rusty and thank you!

Mine's arrived from Ryan within 3 days! Awesome but I've not unwrapped it yet, but through the 'bag' can't notice the lume; those light boxes seem to highlight a multitude of sins! Will post some pics when strap adjusted

 

[mrrusty]

Lol. I don't think I could possibly receive a watch and then not unwrap it. You must have the patience of a saint. Wow. Really quick delivery too. Let us know how you get on ... really hope you are pleased with it.

It's a case of (ahem), phasing them in! A Breitling Chrono Evo accompanied the TBB on its long journey!
