ZF Black Bay (Rose) V6 on PT!
- Thread starter Cadows
- Start date
Not a lot
just looks the same as earlier versions, but at least it’s an option again without scouring M2M.This is the rose dial (rep of first generation Black Bay which housed an ETA rather than in-house movement and has a much slimmer profile as a result, which I much prefer). All the ZF shield dial versions (reps of second generation genuine with in-house movement) are very good, including the Harrods, and the red is excellent. Nobody will notice the bezel colour even if it is not quite right. I’ve seen red bezels on gens that vary quite a bit between watches. The olive green of the Harrods rep is lovely, and looks ace with the gold accents. I’d have a rep of all of them if I had the disposable.
Here is my gen 79220N for comparison purposes

Do you think they used slimmer case or the same one they are using for new models? I tried to compare the rose logo with yours and didnt see some difference
I’m pretty sure the cases themselves are the same, or very close. It’s the case back on the in-house movement version that’s much thicker. Sticks out a mile in comparison.
Makes quite a difference on the wrist.
The rep logo is badly printed on the left side. The logo of the gen is similar but the logo on the rep looks much more, erm, unfinished on the left side.

And “shield” rep is good?

How is the pepsi colour? It's a toss up between red and pepsi!
The Pepsi GMT is a different watch really, not directly comparable to the three-hand variants. There are many threads on the pros and cons of the GMT, but it's pretty good. OK, the hand stack order is incorrect, and whilst the bezel colours are OK, the 22 on the bezel does not curve with the bezel as per the gen, but other than that it's still a mighty fine watch in it's own right.
