It depends on the photo. I’m seeing Chrono24 images that have letters just as bright as this.

Nah, there were side by side pics posted on reddit for this. And the "Pelagos" brightness was a dead giveaway.
Granted, ZF is brighter, but not like ultra brighter....Side by side it's an immediate tell, but stand alone, probably most ppl couldn't tell.
But to me, the bright neon red does feel a little comical

Haven’t seen these. Tried to search but couldn’t find it either. Mind sharing a link?

I bought this watch to be my daily and I’m honestly very surprised at the quality. I’ve read a lot of negative comments on ZF so I was expecting a low tier rep but that’s not the case. This watch is awesome and extremely comfortable.

I received my Pelagos 39 yesterday. The watch is perfect for me, except for the bracelet. I think it's too cheap for everything else. Here's a video of a problem I'm having. Do you think I could fix it myself, or should I talk to Andiot?

This piece dances too much

Dont think anidiot can do much for you there. That's a ZF problem. Replace the spring bars with thicker ones and see if it changes much.

Is that how you look at your watch to see the time ? Jeez, man. I don't know why people concern themselves with how a watch looks from a weird angle. Put it on your wrist. That's what I buy watches for.

It likes will never be noticed by anyone else but you. I like the watch overall.

I don't think you understood.
That piece is constantly moving, loose up, down, left, and right.

Andiot just confirmed to me that they're going to talk to ZF. All V2 watches have these characteristics.

I have a V1. I'm not bothered enough to check it. It sits very comfortably on my wrist. The strap is a bit lightweight and even sounds it but advice by other members to "spray it with WD40" or "give it a bath in hair conditioner" to stop the bracelet rattle, have gone unheeded by me. One thing I did do was tighten the link screws in the bracelet. I did that when I got it a couple of months ago and one came loose yesterday. So I tightened it again and put a micro dot of superglue with a toothpick on the screw heads.

Does this have a ghost date?
V1 does so I assume this does as well.

If you can find a no date setting lever it will take care of this problem. I am by no means even remotely close to considering myself a watchmaker and I did not find this to be too challenging of a mod. Assuming you have the correct tools... I swapped in a SW200 and added a no date setting lever.

The titanium bracelets on my G-Shocks, including a rather expensive MRG model (for those not familiar with G-Shocks - that is the series that starts at Tudor price-level and goes up to Rolex price-level), also feel less "premium" than cheaper steel bracelets.
I wonder how the bracelet of the titanium Yachtmaster feels in comparison...

Think the Ti bracelet being shit is just a ZF thing. I really don't think we can expect super high end bracelet feel for $350, local price for this is $270, so even cheaper. Ti bracelet must be like $100 or less to make lol.

Good to know but just sell if it bothers or find a rubber strap to put it on.

I'd like to find a quality black rubber strap for this watch. Does anyone know of one that's compatible?
A quality titanium strap is also acceptable.


By the way, I'd like to add that Andriod has been great with me, asking ZF how to fix it, letting them know if I need anything, etc.

As I said, I'd like to add a thank you to Elliot.
