Tudor Black Bay Chrono M79360N Mf vs Zf Comparison

Comprehensive comparative analysis of Tudor Black Bay Chrono M79360N Mf and Zf models: Case finishes, movement precision, dial details and production tolerances are examined in detail with Saat Detective expertise standards.

The clock on the left is from M+, the clock on the right is from Z. After exposure to strong light, the lume coating on the hour markers of both watches appears slightly greenish, rather than pure white.

The markings on the bezel are a bit thicker on the M+, including the “UNITS PER HOUR” text and those numerals; The clock on the left is from M+.

On the M+ Tudor on the left, the stainless steel ring of the bezel sits slightly higher than the black insert, while on the Z Factory, the black insert and the stainless steel rim are horizontally aligned. M+ Factory got this detail right.

On the Z Factory watch on the right, the glass sits higher, which is closer to the original watch.

This is the dial of the M+ Tudor. The white dial looks smooth and the frosted workmanship is not very obvious. In this photo, the slightly greenish lume coating on the hour markers and hour and minute hands is more visible.

The sandblasted workmanship on the Z Factory Tudor is more obvious. Z Factory Tudor is closer to the original watch in this detail.

The numbers on the Z Factory's small dials appear silver, which is closer to that of the original watch. On the M+ Tudor, the numbers appear whiter.

date

In M+, the date window has a deeply stepped design.

The date window on the Tudor from Z Factory has a much shallower stepped design.

In this photo, the date wheel of the Z Factory watch on the right is closer to the dial. On the M+ Tudor watch on the left, the date font is bolder.

Some date fonts in Z Factory Tudor are noticeably not centered.

On the M+ Tudor Black Bay, the date numeral is properly aligned.

On the ZF Tudor, the “SWISS MADE” print is thinner.

On M+, the SWISS MADE font is bolder.

mechanism

Both factories use Asian clone valjoux 7750 movement in this Tudor replica watch. This movement is definitely not as stable as the DD3135, DD3235 and DD4130, but if you do not use the chronograph function very often, this movement will not cause any problems in daily use and can work for many years.

Conclusion

Z and M+ have their own advantages in the workmanship of this replica Tudor; I can't say which one is better. After examining the comparison between the two watches, which one do you prefer? By the way, while the buckle on the M+ can be locked more securely, the buckle on the Z Factory Tudor opens very easily. Also, if you want a flamingo blue or pink model, don't buy from Z Factory; They produce these two models in the wrong dial color.
