ZF Tudor Black Bay 58 Blue Sneak Preview

[merowinger]

Black BB58: Who cares about the dial texture when the hour markers and hands are so much whiter than the gen.

Blue rep at least doesnt have this problem.
There could be a small difference in the dial texture, but certainly not noticeable on the wrist.

Hey bud, sorry - just got your PM. The tag never got picked up by the forum.

It looks good. I think the discussion on if the blue is right or not is redundant as the gen changes so much. If light hits it oblique, its blue, if light is coming from a shallow angle, its more black.

Dial texture is similarly not a good discussion. What defines the dial is how it behaves in light. It can be matt or satin. It doesn’t matter what the texture is if the effect in light is wrong.

I can see the case and bracelet dont look as refined / smooth on the rep, but again - hard to be sure in a photograph.

Had the exact same problem with my original BB58 - was unable to figure out a solution, interested if anyone else has figured something out as well.

Here's a side-by-side photo with the genuine watch from Revolper 's sales listing (LINK):

The pearl looks very different. Nicer on the rep tbh.

Agree. Personally I prefer the darker blue of the rep dial too

Yes, sadly the different lume color /hands/markers is quite regular. The pearl is different indeed, but looks really good on the rep.
I should get mine next week, can't wait to try it.

Why is it so hard for them to match the lume ? It's always the case it's the same on my black bay heritage rep hands are bright white lume is a off white colour

ZF has the same problem on their subs as well. Its pretty common problem on zf watches. It's really a bummer in my opinion cuz watch looks fantastic, I guess will wait for v2

I remember it being very obvious on the BB58 black v1, but it doesn't look as obvious as that on this one. It's there if you look closely, but I doubt I'd notice day to day. In fact, I think I'm going to grab one :facepalm:

You can tell straight away from that photo above comparing gen to rep

I can't. Not without zooming/studying intently.
