Been somewhat away for a while and now I find there's a new version of the Black Bay? Hell, I need to get one of these. I love the V1 I have but if the V4 is even better, that's great...

I also got mine form intime (Rayn) and it is stunning indeed.
i want to get the blue one too, do you know if they are of the same quality?
im asking since the red is "ZF V4" and the blue is "ZF best edition":

http://www.intime.co/tudor/1443-her...-bracelet-a2824hands-and-dial-same-color.html

are they same quality?

I think so. I believe they finally fixed the issue where the hands of the blue were a slightly different colour than the dial markers. Looking at the pictures Ryan has seems to confirm this.

Mine came yesterday and I love it :smile:

Tried to catch the domed dial and crystal on camera as well as the tobacco color of the face:

I have been on the fence about getting the one, but your pictures drove me over the cliff. I must order one now. Thx. ha

The watch is amazing. First time that I wore the same watch seven days in a row. I will definitly go for the other versions, too. First the "One" with black bezel, then the blue one perhaps. And a Pelagos on top - just because :laugh:

Some more pics from last week:

The last one shows the BB on an aged Gunny strap. This just as an example since I'm still waiting for the delivery of the rep leather strap (supposedly bad quality) and buckle. I'm pretty sure this strap will be a perfect match with the black bezel version of the Black Bay.

Beautiful photos, it almost makes some of the Gen pics look bad!

gen crystal has AR no? ZF is still lacking AR

The V3 and V4 (with the A2824 movement) have sapphire crystal with AR coating.

The cheaper V2 (with the 23J movement) has just mineral glass and perhaps no AR (not sure about that).

But V3 and V4 definitly do have AR.

Those are some great shots, plus it looks like it was a great trip. I've placed my order. Just waiting for the payment details for the money gram. I can't wait. Keep the pics coming folks.

Great pics. I got the V2 in the past, going to take the V4. The caseset is very nice.

Could someone chime in with a view on the BB v4 bracelet, how for example would it compare to the bracelet on a Noob factory V6S Sub.
