Tudor Black Bay - Rep vs Gen

[subaruski]

Anyone have a very tight bezel on theirs?

Mine barely wants to spin.

tight bezel

mine is also kind of tight. I've tried a gen one two weeks ago, it feels exactly the same.

My rebrushed lugs, right grain like gen

I had a gen last year but i sold it, bought your old BB and it is great.
one give away is that the crystal hight is to low.
the bracelet is great, like gen!

What strap is this?

Yes, I would also like to know!

Looks to be the Bradystraps Sailcloth strap.

Is the rehaut height different from the gen?
I have the feeling the gen rehaut is shorter...and it is a such a common inaccuracy in rep watches.

Overall a great looking watch!

Can someone show closeup shots of the hour markers? I found the lume application on some of these rep BB to be blotchy and would like to confirm if it is across the board. This is probably the only reason from stopping me in getting one now. Thanks!

Wow appreciate the info. Will take all this into consideration! All this being said...would you say the Tudor's movement is still fit to match the $3k price tag?

To me whether a watch movement is worth more depends on accuracy and finish. I can't say about the finishing as that's personal but accuracy can be measured.

Here's the accuracy record from the last few days comparing the Tudor Heritage Ranger and the Steinhart Ocean One that I have. They are both ETA 2824-2 movements but different grades. The difference in performance is obvious.

Whether it's worth that much more is again subjective.

Would a service on the Steinhart help with the deviation?

I have a similar question, I've noticed from pictures online it seems the rep 12 o'clock hour marker seems to be a distinguishing factor, the lume on the bottom of the triangle doesn't seem to be as "sharp" as the gen
