Aquanaut Showdown: V6F vs ZF vs KMF exhaustive review

[LuminorReptar]

damn! thats beautiful . what is the thickness on this build?

Thanks man! It still uses the KMF case, so it's the slimmest compared with all other reps at the moment = 8.4mm

received mine and love it, i wear it even more then my sub 116610ln now.
Im having a project on it. where i will move down both the 5 and 7 numeral markers and move it in a bit to the inside of the dial=>> to cover the flaws that the line running past the 5. Maybe i will just move 1mm downwards and 1mm inwards would be enough to fix it.
I accidentally cut the strap too tight but still acceptable.
if anybody purchase a gen strap then i would be very happy to purchase yours. i have a very small wrist 6.3in.

Hi all,

where do you guys get your KMF 5167 from? I usually buy from Puretime but have been having issues with using my credit card there (transaction keeps failing and I have tried over 20 times)... I checked Intime and it seems like they do not carry the KMF version.

many thanks for your inputs on this!

Final build:
- KMF base
- Keylog / Spongebob DWO
- JF dial markers
- Pinion paint mod

That's basically the best combo available at this point, looks amazing.
Did you manage to source the ZF dial seperately?

How does the lume of the ZF markers compare to that of the KMF dial?

We need more pictures!

Where can I find myself a ZF aquanaut? should I ask my trusted dealer?

Yes.

 

[erudite]

Are KMF and ZF considered to be fairly on par with each other?

BTW I'm looking to buy a KMF or ZF Aquanaut. If anyone has one available for sale, please PM me.

I am looking for blue KMF dial with the Swiss Made marker at the 6 o'clock position.

Then buy one from the TD of your choice?

Ok what's a TD?

 

[pip72]

I have the PF version how does it compare to the KMF? Any dealers you recommend to purchase the KMF version? The think that really bugs me about the PF version is the "Swiss Made" is missing from the bottom of the dial.

Why does the SwissMade bother you? I'd be more bothered by the PF's datewheel, or did you have the custom DW installed?

I believe it means Trusted Dealer?

Ha I guess I have OCD, I am not sure what's the different on the PF's Datewheel compared to others?

 

[Tobel]

If you had OCD you would see how the PF datewheel is bad, that's what people here who say they have OCD mean. The PF datewheel has a font that is too small and does not fill the datewindow

Thanks, I am going to buy a new ZF Keylog / Spongebob DWO datewheel and dial from puretime make and franken patek.

if that's the way you want to go then make sure the DW you buy works for the dial you'll get. They are all very specific.

And for your information this will not be a franken, as a franken is a mix with gen parts. This will just be a modded rep
