V6f-KW / ZF Heritage BB bronze - more photos...

[PolonusTM]

Case lug holes are in different position too from KW and ZF
Anyone have gen to compare?

From the same photo but I took other side since I had gen photo from that "other" side:

You can observe that ZF's strap is not thick enough to match KW or genuine in this matter. Both KW and gen have thicker, meany straps. Putting the lug hole higher on ZF compensate the fact strap is not thick enough but is mounted higher to look the same from the top.

I cant wait to see pics from members though! I might snag one just to see how the case feels. the ZF bronze does look more gen like though.

If you reset the bronze patina using i.e. ketchup bath - they both start from being golden & milky shiny. Then the time and environment will apply patina. What you see are two bronze cases (from ZF and KW) on various state of patination.

Thank you sir for the explanantion, I thought KW/V6Fs was more gen position and size and your gen photo confirms.
I just ordered the KW/V6F last night, cant wait for this one! I have been holding out on a Black Bay long enough, and already have two pelagos's (black & blue).
This Heritage BB bronze on the strap is just killer! I hope the Chinese maker makes the strap soft.

Thank you for your comparisons, it takes time and effort to do this and do it well, I just wanted congratulate you for a job very well done. Greatly appreciated.

Anyone know what the strap width is? 22mm or 24mm?
The Tudor website does't list it under specs oddly enough.
And TDs are listing it as 41mm case, while Tudor website list it as 43mm, so are they adding in the crown difference on the gen website?

The Gen. strap according to a previous picture is 23mm, note the label on the NATO 23/23. (see https://forum.replica-watch.info/vb...more-photos?p=2861761&viewfull=1#post-2861761 )

If a TD listed the case as 41mm it was a mistake, the Black Bay Bronze has a 43mm case. Which TD did you see list this watch as 41?
Marvelous Replicas: 43mm
PureTime: 43mm
TS Watch: 43mm
TrustyTime: 43mm
Kuvarsit Watch: 43mm
etc

wowww looks gd

 

[Jooc10]

Gorgeous! What are your thoughts on it? How's the feel and overall quality?

 

[alexanderjs]

Pretty good I would say. I don't have the ZF so I don't know how it compares.

Now if someone would just rep the Tudor cloth straps we'd be all set!

I heard ZF is making the cloth strap

I hate to dampen the enthusiasm and of course I will freely admit I have been accused of having male order color blindness in the past. With that said and the requisite disclaimer JMHO the bezel insert is too red vs. the Gen; I'm hoping that I'm wrong and or can learn to live with it once I have it in my hot little hand...
it does look fantastic! but I believe the insert looks closer to the original BB than the 2016 Basel release which is a reddish brown almost Root Beer color.

That photo is reassuring. So maybe it is just a trick of the light, time and more in hand reiews will tell.

BTW– hows your shipping estimate? do you expect delivery soon?

Just waiting for my QC photos, then ill know more.

I will put KW version (on the way to me) in ketchup to reset patina - then we will observe the color.

Did you do this? My TD is saying that the ZF bronze is much closer to gen...

No, I am still waiting to get it.

About bronze... There was a time guys were comparing bronze in Pam 382 from ZF and KW and KW was better.
