Howitzer 1,954 Posted November 22, 2018 What do you reckon chaps? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TUDOR-BLACK-BAY-HERITAGE-REF-79220N-FULL-SET-YEAR-2015-LIKE-NEW/132862779505?hash=item1eef3d2071:g:sK8AAOSwtw9b9GzX:rk:4:pf:1&frcectupt=true I have the gen and was looking to see current prices/availability out of interest. Something does not seem right with this one. The box isn't the same as mine and no NATO so clearly not a full set, but that's not a given as the boxes did change if I recall. Bezel pip doesn't look right, the rose logo seems to have that ZF fade to it, and the gold finish of the hands, markers, and dial font doesn't seem, well, gold enough?? The pics aren't great so it might just be that. Plus it's a grand cheaper than the rest. Anyway, thought I'd get more eyes on out of interest! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EBB 25 Posted November 22, 2018 Tudor recalled the nato straps for all the ETA versions, It can technically still be a full set without the nato, but I understand what you mean. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But they're starting to become penny pinchers not offering the extra strap. I've got 79220b, the nato is really luxurious, have you found any other natos of similar feel?

MAJ75 920 Posted November 22, 2018 I think you need to be so careful when the reps have NWBIG status like on this occasion. My view would be that with pieces like this it just isn't worth the risk when the selling price is fairly similar to what a bricks & mortar shop would be offering for used & even then if the premium was 10-15% over an Ebayer I'd take it for the piece of mind offered.

CurioLeo 296 Posted November 22, 2018 Wrong box, 2015 BBB came with a Nato, fuzzy photos. Almost certainly a super rep being passed off as a gen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GingerApple 7,224 Posted November 22, 2018 Looks like it's got a big fat hole in the seconds hand where it sits on the pinion - isn't that a tell on these? Gen is capped isn't it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Needs a good few eyes on it to spot any flawsSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It’s an RWI thing, they love all that kinda crap, special clubs and stuff. At that price you’d expect more/better pics, stay well away Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HorFan 482 Posted November 24, 2018 Looks bogus to me, the dial has white printing and chapter ring like a BB blue, BB black should be rose gold ink, yes? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
