What's Updated on the Black Bay V4?

[tphan]

I see TD have the Heritage Black Bay ZF v4 now. What's updated on this. I can't seem to find the difference from V3 to V4

 

[Radman]

Where did you see that?

Intime and torobravo carry the updated V4 according to their website

Maybe slightly misaligned hour hand (V3 has that issue) is fixed?

According to InTime:
'The difference is that the lume has improved to match color than previous version'

Hm... that is not that tempting for me :yawn:

The pearl and the dial print were updated as far as I can tell from the photos.

Cant see the link from Ryan's website but saw Toro's. Could it be a typo? The description from the V3 and V4 are the same.

Pearl and hands updated I recon. The flaws I wanted fixed are still there. I'll save for gen instead. Will be to close to gen price if I would fix all the issues I have with it

what flaws? according to toro the v4 has better lume hands

 

[sweden]

I would relume, get gen insert and bracelet. Also dial print is off, but would not get a gen dial. I also think crystal is off, if I don't remember it wrong that was mentioned in comparison thread for previous version.

Don't get me wrong, I'm sure it's a fine rep. For me it's just to close to gen price when I modded it.

 

[darkpanda]

crown print seems off too

 

[Earvin]

Is there a v4 on the black too? Or just the red? I saw a black v2 on Toros but that's about it.

Sweden,

What are the specific flaws you are referring to?

Earvin, There is a V4 Black on Toros. I'm eyeing that piece

Good luck mate. I ended up getting the BB One from Ryan. Tracking says it should be here within the next 3 days. I will post pictures as soon as I get it.

Earvin, Congrats, I saw your uploaded photos of your BB and I'm pretty much sold on getting it. Any takeaways/opinions for the v4 you might have?

 

[RolexLovers]

I very tempted to buy it.... very beauty!!

I think what I have is actually a V1. The fact that there's only one gen Black Bay One in existence makes it hard to improve it's rep and come up with a better version. As for your question, The lume on one of the hour markers look uneven. The "2" on the "20" is very slightly crooked. Both flaws are only visible upon closer inspection. It's not visible if you're just checking the time.

Taking a closer look, I have to agree that this is a v1 of the 2015 model. The '2' misalignment is pretty unfortunate, but doesn't diminish the wow factor still.

I guess the demand factors pretty much influence the motivation to improve by the rep manufacturers. With Tudor releasing the 2016 edition, I won't be fooled to expect any more significant improvements to this BB One v1 or the HBB v4s.
