Hey Guys

First time poster and long time lurker here. I am about to buy a GEN Pelagos LHD
Watch comes in full set with box and warranty card. I read the ZF is very close to GEN and hard to distinguish with no side by side comparison. I just want to know since each watch has a different number of production on the back, does all ZF have a different number as well? Does a watch with box and paper mean it’s most likely GEN? Is there serial number on watch so I can match with warranty card without opening the case?

Thanks a bunch!

I would have to check but I think my card shows the serial that's on the watch.

Rep is close to get but is lacking the quality and there are few things that you can spot it's fake like square markers and dial is not as textured, logo is less bold etc. And I saw few people had problems with the springs in the clasps.

Is the serial number outside the watch?

Apparently even the production number on the back of the watch is different on ZF ones...

You mean the production number?
The watch comes with warranty card, box and booklets, can I match the serial number with the watch? Or Rep has the warranty card with serial number matches the watch?

Hi all

Does anybody know if there are any about? I would like to have one but they doesn’t seem to be available anymore. Such a shame.

I just saw a message on a German forum that Trusty has XF Pelagos LHD exclusively.
I think I will pull the trigger on that one. 7% rebate as well.
