Sorry for digging up the thread but just want to confirm with V6F owner: how s the movement held up after a long period of use? Also have you guys tried out the chrono?

Mine actually has to go to the watch smith because it has begun to lose a few minutes per day. Have to wait for the outcome though.

I'd love to see side by side comparison since there is no other source which could give us even a small glimpse of difference between them in same lighting conditions.

Many thanks.

does it have double AR? i got the 3878 08 -----CF3------ edition and it does not have double AR.
The AR on mine could be better. What about this one?

Thanks a lot for the feedback. I definitely need some more wrist time with the watch to give a full review.

And re: the 60min coutner: I started timing the 60min counter as of 23minutes ago, and so far it matches up exactly with my computer clock.

Hi, just trying to follow up, how has the watch held up after a long time of usage ? Especially the chronos ?

how is the Rose gold plating in V6 compared to ZF? does a ZF version of the RG exist at all?
And also how does this Rose gold work? its not real gold i know but is it obviously different compared to a gen rose gold watch?
and will the rose gold plating rub off at some point of time or when you scratch the watch?

Sooner or later the plating will of course fade away, except you wear the watch very rarely. Even more important, as far as I am concerned, each and every scratch and/or ding will ruin the watch forever, since there is no way at all to polish it.

what happens if you scratch the watch? is there rosegold underneath it or will stainless steel appear under scratches\damages...?
and if the rose gold plating will fade away some time, it doesnt look good anymore does it? i cant imagine how this might look
