Tudor Heritage Black Bay in Bronze

PureTime has it posted now also, with some much better pictures, but I still tend to agree with the early opinion, dial too dark and bezel too red.

Looks like Andrew has 2 versions now.  A ZF factory and V6F.  He has a video with the ZF.  Hard to tell.  The 3-6-9 on the V6F look better, and the pics looks like a lighter dial.  But then the video of the ZF the dial color looks better... Scratching head...

Thoughts on these competing v1.0's...

I thought that video was of the genuine he bought for the factory to reverse engineer...

The bezel dimensions seem more accurate on the V6F,  IMO the insert is wider and the bezel thicker as per the Gen.

I don't know what is wrong with Andrew's camera but his photos don't do the KW/V6F version justice, see it here:

With some luck by Friday, but most likely on Monday based on my recent orders with Ryan.

I've never been a big fan of either the web site or QC photos. Seems like the forced lighting brings out the worst in each piece and in real life, they are much better. We shall see!

Verdict is out till Cardoza gets his hands on it, that's for taking the plunge mate.

This description states that it's 316F stainless steel - is that a typo or is this bronze PVD?

IMO an obvious typo, the watch case appears to be of obvious Bronze construction, the variance in the finish could not possibly be replicated in a PVD coating... once again JMHO.

Secondly, these descriptions are notoriously incomplete and or inaccurate, notice it also states the leather strap is Stainless Steel...

On my wrist. Quick photo here, but I'll try to post more after work. Excellent first impression! High quality workmanship. Live the bronze. Doesn't look the same as my Pam382 so maybe they did reformulate the bronze to match the hen, with some aluminum content? Too early to tell for sure.

Negative is the strap. Feels cheap and is fairly short. It'll never fit that MOAB 8.5" wrist. 7.75 seems to be about max.
