If you can't decide. Get both 
Seriously though, depend on your collection.
BBR can go for a more vintage, classic look while Pelagos go for a more modern, cool look.

Well, there are a few like the dial or the bezel, but ZF is good; even though ZF finish isn't at V6F's level.
Get V6F V2.
V6F V2 > ZF V1 > V6F V1
The reason I went with zf is because I've read that the build quality is better as well as the titanium in general. Someone on Facebook is trying to tell me xf is better now. When will the madness end?
ZF is better for the Black Bay Models. But XF rules the other editions such as bronze, pelagos, ranger
You're right. After doing more research I've decided to get the xf model. It's all about baby steps!
Will you be going for a two line or five line pelagos?
Personally I really like the black bay blue. Less dressy than the red. So could dress casual.
I know this will sound odd but I think the black bay looks more balanced.
Think it's the fact that it has no date, so the dial is symmetrical
I wish more watches had the date at 6pm... But alas nobody ever listens to me.
Either way. Enjoy it.

I'm going for the 5 line Pelagos. I know a lot of people think it looks a bit busy - and it does, but I kind of like it.
I agree with you on the black bay blue. It Is a little a little more understated and that does wonders for the design.
I always loved the date complication, but lately I think it's more of a hassle and doesn't look as clean. My work requires me to know the date at all times so it isn't really functional for me either.
Within a few months I'll definitely have a black bay as well.
I was tossing up between the black bay red and the destro pelagos cos I love the uniqueness and the ‘aged’ markers. I went with the bbr but I still really want the LHD.
Btw did XF ever fix the mismatched lume on the markers and the hands of was it a non issue and I’m just making it up?

It comes with an AR coated Sapphire crystal but I hear having it double coated is the way to go.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I heard XF is an offshoot of V6F/KW. I don't think it has anything to do with ZF.
you are probably right. I had not heard that either. I asked because he referenced the blackbay having mismatched hands, and the BB is made by ZF
After wearing the hell out of my Pelagos, I just took delivery of my Black Bay black shield.
Overall I'd say the black bay would suit a shirt and tie office, but would be too flashy in other work settings. I don't even wear shirts to my daily work environment, so for me the Pelagos is still a daily driver, and the black bay will be an evening and weekend affair.
