Black bay bronze ZF V2 (Alu-Bronze) vs KW V2 (Normal Bronze/old model)

[pannyman04]

Was rather hoping this settles the matter but while the ZF has the better case colour Im not sure about the dial. Decisions decisions!

OP i hope you only paid 240+ for that KW, because that is a v1. Like some have said, the kw v2=v3, v3=v2, and should be using alu-bronze.
I have recently released a kw v2/v3 one i can say for sure that it is a solid quality rep, the material is unlike the v1 (which is actually nice in its own way) and is much more yellowish.
If you ask me which would i go for between zf and kw, I will go for kw since ZF is known for many QC issues.

The new kw nato is also much better btw.

Does the latest KW have the correct bronze/alu-blend aswell?

Got my KW bronze this week and it's definitely a great rep. However, is the hand lume color supposed to match the indices? The hands on mine are definitely more yellow and less cream colored.

Just ordered my first rep from inTime, ZF v2 BBB. Will try to post pictures and my impressions. I may not get it till middle of Feb with the cny so I will need to be really patient. Really excited. I originally purchased a rep Ulysses Nardin about 5 years ago as my first rep watch ever and that one had some issues but has been a nice watch so I hope to have better experience with these new ones from what I read on this forum.

After reading about the KW v3 I hope I picked the correct one although I guess I wont be disappointed with the ZF from all the good words here.

Thanks everyone for the info.

Hi, like i said in first post, this is the old kw version so dont worry i paid normal price for both. just thought it would be interesting to see the new improvements ZF has made. Ofc it would be best to have both new versions side by side but sadly i dont have the money for that. I just happened to have both these watches as i first purchased the kw and then the new zf was released so i grabbed that aswell and sold the kw. Also i really like the ZF. Didnt get the new kw as it wasnt out by the time of my purchase since the zf was released a little bit earlier. At the moment i have sent the Zf to zocker for a nice relume as the lume is really bad out of stock for it but the usual qc issues that people have with zf didnt really arise with this watch. The bezel is super tight and doesnt even have a milimeter of play in it and after the relume it should be a really ncie watch.

Hi I just purchase a ZF v2 BBB, can you give me more info on the lume upgrade? Who/What is zocker and where is he/it? Appreciate it.

I believe @Zocker is located in Germany [emoji4]
