Comparison: TUDOR Blackbay ZF Factory vs Genuine
Comparison 1: under the light
The three images above show the watch under different lights conditions.
Under a soft light,the bezel color is wine red, identical to the genuine Tudor Balckbay.
Under a harder light, the ZF glass shows excellent trasparency. There is no difference with the genuine item.
In low light conditions, both the ZF and the genuine appear to be both purple.
Comparison 2: logo, hour markers and hands
As clearly visible in the picture, the logos are three-dimensional and perfectly identical. The hour markers are polished and smooth, identical to the genuine. The hands are perfectly identical and also the luminescence fill is perfect.
Comparison 3: thickness
ZF has achieved the exact same thickness of 12.1 mm as the genuine.
Comparison 4: the watchband
The pictures speak for themselves. There is no difference between ZF and the genuine.
Comparison 5: the outer ring
The outer ring is made of the same material. Numbers are engraved and have a granular feeling. The color is also not exactly white, as in the genuine. The diameter is the same.
Comparison 6: the edges and the chamfer
Again, the pictures speak for themselves. The edges are polished, smooth and have the same curve.
Comparison 7: the logo on the clasp
These are perhaps the only details where ZF has not achieved total perfection.
Comparison 8: the bottom cover
The bottom cover is engraved in the same stye as the genuine. The depth and the shape of the engravings are almost identical.
