Hi guys,

I got a V6F cartiér Quartz 33mm

Right now there’s also AF and JF does anyone have experience with these ?

Which one is the best right now ?

V6F seems to be still the king.

Im curios about your opinion

The AF is king, after lots of research I picked one up for my wife last December. Amazing rep!

I personally think the finish is just a little better on the dial(nothing much wrong with V6f), looked at lots of photos and seems very close to the real thing. My wife goes to lots of functions with very wealthy people and no one would question it. Get the quartz, girls hate setting time.

I think I’m getting the AF aswell you have a link to your exact model?
I might compare both V6F vs AF with a detailed picture comparison.

i was going through the same dilemma, apparently AF is a little better in finish, but i went with V6f for my wife, coz it's a really good and tested one, and 70$ cheaper than AF. i didn't get it yet, but i will next week, and will post many photos.

Right now the bracelet feels a bit more HQ on the AF and the dial is more white on the AF yes. But nobody can prove that ok the street and AF is ~ 300$ and V6F is ~200$

Can't quite decide which to get either.
If you could only keep one, which would it be?

Is this the AF version that people would recommend: https://puretimewatch.io/ballon-ble...textured-dial-on-ss-bracelet-seiko-nh05a.html
Would like to stick with puretime as I've had good service previously. Price at US368 seems higher than what has been discussed here? Guessing that's quartz vs automatic.

Lastly, tempted to get two tone rose gold. Once the rose bracelet tarnishes I'd swap a stainless bracelet, are these available separately?

PureTime has the 33mm AF with an automatic cal.076 for $548. Seems a little high but I would prefer an automatic over quartz. Thoughts?
