ZF Tudor Black Bay 58 Blue Sneak Preview

[GingerBubba]

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it's not there, but personally it's not something I readily see without having to go and look for it. I didn't spot the problem at all for example until it was mentioned on this thread (in spite of being all too aware of the same issue on the BB58 Black).

I cant really see it either to be honest, it's like shopping for white paint with the wife lol

White is completely different on the hands to the hour markers

Everyone's eyes and tolerances are different. To me, yes there's a difference, but it's negligible. A shade.

I think the difference in the lume color will be rather negligible once it's on wrist. I find it hard to even keep my wrist still to read the time, let alone let others stare at the lume

I totally agree....and that's not even counting all the time I spent so drunk that I don't give a shit about which time it is.

It's probably more noticeable in particular lighting conditions.

But seriously... If you have to zoom in this close to show the 'issue' it's definitely not something that's a dealbreaker. I'd much rather ZF focus their efforts on getting the crown tube shortened, the pip and bezel printing correct over the tiny difference in lume colour.

Mine just landed.. rather quickly... from Trusty.

It's a great piece.

The bracelet, which I have seen some complaints about, seems great. I have a gen one for my 7929 and it is of similar quality.

While there is a slight difference in the lime color it is very hard to discern without a loupe. It seems to also be an issue of photography as the hand lume still emits a bit of green "glow" in normal light.

Very nice, mine should land in a few days, can't wait.

What shipping method did they use to ship yours?

 

[perfecto71]

I’m in the U.K. so it seems to habe been triangulated.

shipped from China using YanWen and then Royal Mail for the “final mile”

Others won’t know if it’s right or not.

Yes, he asked what method it was..

Guys, the rep is amazing. It could be a complete shitter and nobody would ever consider a tudor being a rep - Why??? Because it's a fucking Tudor lol. Buy it wear and enjoy with no worries. Pearl is wrong, so what, dial is not as textured, nobody will notice, even gen owners.

 

[Asheron82]

this watch is amazing tbh, if the rep and gen are thousands of miles apart in terms of look and feel then yes all the negativeness and shortcomings are valid, however even with the side-by-side pics for the ZF vs Gen, its very difficult to spot the difference like playing photohunt

for whats its worth, i highly recommend to buy it, wear it, enjoy it cause you never know if there will be a v2, v3, v4 for that matter. If a new one becomes available, just weight your pros and cons to see if its worth to upgrade or live with the v1.

You are very right.
Great rep with minor flaws, that few on the planet will notice, let alone call you on.
It's a beautiful watch at that price point, no doubt.
