Tudor Panda (Tudor Blackbay Chrono)

[timothyckc]

Hi all, I just saw people sharing Tudor Panda reps online, not providing any info about the factory making it.
Any idea where is it from? And what do you guys think about this rep?

they say the date box is too small, the numbers in the sub dials are wrong, that the. Written Tudor is wrong, that the side buttons are long, that the bezel marking is written with wrong characters, what else ... boh ..
the fact is that I like it very much, just wait for some updated version, I hope

Lots of errors on this one.....I'll get started, others can pitch in with others they see!

- Font and positioning of numerals on the bezel is wrong
- Date window is too small (and doesnt extend down the dial enough))
- Size of the subdials is wrong, with the outer part of the subdials being too thin
- font on the dial is wrong - for example, no italic letter used on ft
- Sels look way off, far too recessed and short.
- Chrono pushers look too long.
- Incorrect font on the word TUDOR
- Incorrect number of dots on the bezel. For example, between the number 200 and 140 (around 4pm on the bezel), there should be 7 dots. However, this rep only has 5

Wrong steel, genuine is 316L.

Although I doubt that rep is actually 904L probably just a rep sticker.

nice comparison

Here is my take!

My Gen for reference - https://clickpix.org/images/jUFWZp.jpg

1. All fonts used on this rep are off. They didn't even try
to match them it seems like. "TUDOR" on the dial is too
big (shield logo also is too big) and too close to each
other compared to Gen. "200m: 660" on rep "200m :660"
on gen and the font is wrong (again). "UNITS PER HOUR"
on the bezel - "HOUR" font is wrong and there is too
much spacing between 0 and U. Too many to list...

2. Sunken and wrong font on the DW. Date window is
also too short compared to gen

3. Either the bezel insert is slightly too wide or the text
on the bezel is placed to close to the center. There is too
much spacing between the outer edges of the bezel and
the numbers/letters. Edit: also missing the two extra
dots around 180.

4. Rep looks to have just flat black subdials. Gen has
subdials that are recessed into the dial (they give it more
depth and unique light reflection).

5. Dial color is hard to tell but Gen has a very silverish/
metallic tone to it in person. From the pic above, the rep
dial color looks more white/light ivory tone. Also Gen
dial has a very subtle texture/sheen to it. Rep dial above
looks pretty flat.

6. SEL gap is also on gens but rep above looks much
more pronounced. Lugs are too long.

7. Rose logo on the crown on Gen is not engraved like the
rep. It feels 3D when you put your finger over it.

8.Pushers on rep look a bit less rounded. Also I can't tell
for sure but it looks like they're using brushed stainless
steel - Gen is polished. Also the length seems a bit too
long

The ones on PT don't have SWISS MADE on the dial... are these different than the ones in the OP?

It looks like the dial is poorly centered, cutting off the chapter ring and Swiss made on the bottom.

Ah, you're definitely right... What a poor showing.

So the way it works on this model is that the crystal is domed. At certain angles, Swiss Made text won't be visible due to the distortion.

See my Gen Pic for example

100%. Rep has a lot less space between the case/rehaut and where the chapter ring starts. This moves everything else also farther away from the center of the dial, including the SWISS MADE text.

Chapter ring and everything inside of the circle is too big, basically.

Lol. This watch is all flaws. Firm pass for me.

I’ll just live vicariously by looking at posts of your gen.

I am hoping for a really good rep of this - I really need the black dial

 

[johnlogan]

Those new up and coming factories have a long way to go! Hard Pass.

HI all, I just started a new thread for this (feel free to shut it down mods), but I'm curious if anyone actually bought one and what they think?

Mine looks now closer to yours with the new crystal and strap and the sunken date modification
