rps01 Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 a quick phone pic. Loving this watch!! Read some of the negatives that some buyers have had (mostly on RG) - I had a couple of my own, but were an easy/quick/cheap fix Say what you will (and there are many naysayers about Angus), but what he's collaboratively put together with the 'Z-Factory' and some passionate Geeks is a remarkable timepiece for the money. I commend him for this and congratulate him for the revenue he's generated from it Possibly QC wasn't the greatest it could be from the 'factory', but that can be understood (not forgiven however) given the insatiable and relentless demand to get this out before CNY Mine had misaligned hands (easy fix) Mine had play in the bezel (dental floss 'fix') That's it, no other issues Bracelet is superb - finish and fit is exceptional. Will R&R lube it at some point perhaps, but after a short bath in washing-up liquid with some baby oil added, it probably doesn't need it Dial is sublime, lume is way better than average Will at some stage put a Swiss heart in it and get a relume and get the bezel a proper fix, but right now it'll take some [censored] effort to get it off my wrist In short - fence-sitters, get off your splintered arses and get into the Black Bay ASAP!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

torobravo Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 I think they did that on purpose Otherwise who will buy the v2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rps01 Posted February 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 Otherwise who will buy the v2 build it, and they will come Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike on a bike Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 I would say take it from Toro he does this for a living, factory setting us up for the V2. Oh the joys of Reps! PS sorry OP looks great wear in good health, I will most likely get one anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archierocks Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 (edited) could the pearl be swapped for a gen with a bit of work ? Edited February 4, 2014 by archierocks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike on a bike Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 Most likely, if you can get one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fracture Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 Have one as well, it's an amazing watch. Only thing that I can notice on mine is that the pearl is a bit misaligned, but you'd really need to look up close to notice it. Oh, and the inside of the lugs are razor sharp. I'm dying to wear it but I can't as I actually received the wrong order and am waiting for the dealer to respond to whether or not I can keep it...

martijnp Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 Looks good! I love the Black Bay! And I don't think gen Tudor Black Bay parts are that easy to get.. But I didn't really search yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archetypal Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 From what I know from my own search for gen parts, and talking to tudor directly, they operate a one in one out parts, rolex principle. I believe I have to present my gen to be able to order, even the leather band for instance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fraggle42 Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 Angus knew about the pearl and is sending out a replacement pearl to those of us that were on the pre-order. To me there's hardly any difference between this one and the gen, I've seen far FAR worse on supposedly "super reps"! When my new pearl comes I'll replace it (may as well) and sort out the play in the bezel, and also put it back aligned correctly (it's a fraction off now). All the ones bought now should have the new, improved pearl in, so it'll be appearing a long time before any V2 comes out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OmegaPOFL Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 one of the best reps out right now congrats! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
