ZF Factory Tudor Black Bay GMT vs Genuine: In-Depth Fake vs Real Authenticity Review

ZF dares to be the first to bring the vintage Rolex back to life - the Tudor Black Bay Professional Watch
With an extremely comfortable size of 39MM, the steel case is treated with two processes, brushed on the front and polished on the sides, which is Rolex's usual case treatment. It is worth mentioning that TUDOR has also redesigned the crown of this watch, which is flush with the middle case and hides the crown axis, making it easier to grip to adjust the time.
TUDOR's unique dial design uses radiation-free Super-Luminova luminescent paint to make the entire scale pegs, which are more concise without a metal bezel and have a brighter luminescent effect.
In addition to the regular display of the location time, this watch is also equipped with a GMT function, indicated by the longer yellow snowflake hand and the 24-hour fixed scale outer ring.The instantaneous calendar at 3 o'clock is synchronized with the independently adjustable hour hand, which is very practical in everyday life.
In addition, the watch is equipped with a new "turtleback" buckle with Tudor's "T-fit" quick-adjustment mechanism, which has five holes and an adjustable length of up to 8 millimeters, allowing for a more comfortable wearing experience for watch enthusiasts with different wrist sizes.
The 24-hour bezel adopted by the new product can be said to be identical to that of the Rolex Ref. 1655 except for slight differences in details such as the font, including the spacing of the characters and the brushed effect on the bezel have been perfectly reproduced.

ZF has restored all the details on the dial very well. The font size of the logo, the luminous scale nails and the calendar window can all reach a realistic level.

The shape of the case is similar in curvature, and the thickness data is exactly the same as the details of the case. The classic Tudor plum blossom relief on the head is three-dimensional and clear. It can be said that it is printed in the same shape, making it difficult to distinguish the authenticity.

Comparing the engraving on the bottom cover, the depth and coordination of ZF are very close to the original. It has exquisite craftsmanship and outstanding technology. The chemical properties of high-hardness steel are very stable, and deep work on it requires a lot of time and multiple processes. The whole process is long and cumbersome.

The back of the case is also lifelike. Even if the number engraving on the two lugs is enlarged to a macro distance, it is still difficult to distinguish the authenticity from the fake. It can be seen that ZF’s watchmaking level has been upgraded to the world level, and it is true to say that it is the top class in the imitation watch industry.

After removing the "guts" and comparing the case alone, ZF was able to capture every detail and try its best to clone a brilliant product. The engraving fonts on the bezel are synchronized, the metal brushing has reached the level of delicacy of the genuine product, the curvature and size of the lugs, and even the width of the chamfers have all been restored. ZF can be called a detail maniac.

Even the calendar circle has to be taken out for comparison. ZF is considered to be the only one in the market. Real gold is not afraid of red furnace fire. Even the most inconspicuous hidden details are completely consistent with the genuine ones. Look for ZF and buy with your eyes closed without fear of loss.

The thickness and structure of the stainless steel strap are synchronized with the genuine product. Each part of the strap is a safety buckle and is independently detachable like the genuine product. The safety locking buckle at the head position is also reproduced in place, and the ZF factory has put in a lot of effort.

Due to the different structure of the movement, the pins of the center axis of the second hand of the 2 are slightly higher than those of the original. This should be considered the biggest shortcoming of the entire watch. However, the only distinguishable appearance when the hands are installed on the movement is the center axis of the second hand. The ZF second hand center axis also has the same size and thickness as the original. The same axis part is slightly raised and has the same sandblasting texture. The final installation effect is still impeccable!

The stainless steel buckle is exactly the same as a whole, and the inner engraving uses the same stamping process as the original product with neat edges. What's even more exciting is that the quick adjustment structure of the strap length is completely replicated in place, whether it is the opening position, spring strength, or adjustment feel, it is the same as the original one.
