Tudor BlackBay Cheaper vs Original run

[colinspell]

Toro has a couple of models for BB, one with DG2813 and another with the 2824 clone. Has anyone bought both to compare the quality in terms of the steel and bezel?

As I understand it they're the same watch, just with a different movement and crystal (21j has a mineral).

they actually are a different watch, there was a photo somewhere here and the crown tube looked really short like V1

I have seen the 21J for sale on perfect clones and they claim that its a sapphire crystal so only movement is different, costs 188.
But is it really saphire or bullshit, that is the question.

well they arent a TD here so id take what they say with a grain of salt

they are trusted on other forums like RWG (and I have used them before myself) so not sure what the go is, is this different production run or just BS

I think the actual midcase is different as well. The stem height on the 2824 is higher than the 21j

I'd be interested to see a comparison as I might pull the trigger on a bluebay from Toro but if the 21j isn't that bad I'm tempted
