ZF Tudor Black Bay 58 Blue Sneak Preview

It’s kind of hidden at the bottom of the dial. Looks similar to gen in that you see Swiss Made at different angles. When you have at a low angle the curved crystal acts as magnification for it
No sunshine but a few more pics nevertheless

Looks fantastic mate, definitely qc pics don't do this any justice! may I ask how do you find the bracelet?
Clasp doesn’t seem to be at same level reps zzf or arf Rolex reps but bracelet itself is good.
I imagine I will replace with fabric occasionally given how good it looks on the gen.
I need eagle eyes on my QC, I see some crap on the insert around the bezel pip. Are those scratches or is it just an overblown pic showing stuff that's not there?
It's all right, watches often come by a bit dirty. No worries about that, clean it up when you get it.

It's probably just cloth fluff from where it's just been wiped prior to the photo.

Thanks for the lovely pics. I’m quite defenseless against blue bezel/dial and had been waiting for a good Smurf release.... maybe I should get this instead!
Does anyone know if TDs can source the nato and blue straps? Or any decent aftermarket option? Cheers!

Very good option for the short / dull winter days, sparkling under spotlights
Very easy to set time, can here if you hold to your ear!
Bracelet good, clasp not a good as my gen Pelagos but not sure how solid it should be left to right
Looks decent!

mrsullivan GingerBubba I guess I've become a bit of a psycho, this is what you get when you have too much time on your hands and spend more than you should on RWI... Thanks for your thoughts.
I don't think factory/factories are producing the straps that fit this as of yet, it's still too new and only ZF seems to be jumping on the BB58 in its two flavors. I'd love to get my hand on that blue strap though, rep or gen! It'd be fantastic if ZF or others produce the Tudor-style Nato strap in 20mm lug width (where the spring bars are embedded/incorporated into the Nato band) but as it stands no rep or aftermarket strapmaker makes straps in this way.
An option to consider is the Vanguard vulcanized rubber strap in blue. It looks pretty sweet and is an integrated design-- however I don't know how this strap fit on this rep. Will let you guys know because I have the gen BB58 Blue, ordered this strap, and have ordered the rep so can report back.
Vanguard straps
I ordered mine last night before bed at 9:40 and woke up to QC pics in my inbox. My watch is on its way to me now.
If you want a strap similar to the Tudor fabric ones, I highly suggest the cheapest nato straps single pass straps. They’re adjustable and come in a blue similar to the Tudor one. I have a black and green one ready for when my watch gets in.

Dial has so many different colours when the suns out
