I’m not sure how helpful it is, but I’ve got the XF BB bronzo Bucherer blue and the ZF Harrods. The Harrods seems on par, in terms of its general quality look and feel.

But hopefully someone who’s familiar with both factory’s bronzos will be along soon with some more relevant intel.

Unfortunately, XF is the superior Bucherer rep. ZF got the blue color wrong, XF is much closer to gen.

Well if you had just gotten ZF and not asked here, you’d be mine the wiser and enjoying a stunning looking watch that is well built.

One is Gen. The other is ZF v4. It might help you make up your mind.


Nice pic. ZF en route.

Correct me if wrong, but from your pic, looks like gen dial is a less saturated blue. ZF crystal more reflective. And zf pearl not recessed like gen? Rest looks pretty good.

Gen is on the right, so yes. :) Without it side by side, its a hard pick. None of my friends can pick which one I am wearing.

Nice watch!
The dial on the zf looks glossy. Gen is more matte, right? Maybe it‘s just the reflection

The room light is shining from left to right in the pic....so can’t make glossiness assessment from pic.

Eitherway, what an awesome rep, Thanks for the pics

Interesting can answer best, but just looks like a crystal or AR difference. Dial color a little different, but probably same shininess. I’ve never seen a Bronze Tudor in the wild, so I think rep looks plenty good.
