It doesn't help much when the pics of the two factories switch sides. They should stay on the same side on all pics in a comparison thread. Either way a rep is just that, a rep. You wear a watch on your wrist. Enjoy the savings and wear it well... If someone is close enough to spot the difference.. I hope you're getting a happy ending, and I hope your hand isn't included.

[/QUOTE]
Guys is it just me or the ZF version have a pretty big flaw with the markers?
The previous ZF version (Black) was notorious for crooked markers, but this time the markers are just WAY off their base?
Just look at the pic above (specially the 6 o'clock marker, it almost touches the 500m-1640ft text), and I've seen this at any TD that listed the ZF version..
Should we just wait for the 18th? or the KW is the way to go here?

The gen has it quite close as well, although the ZF that chazingtime has the marker does look a little too close. IMO the other TDs look fine, (PT and Toro)
If I remember correctly both KW and ZF black pelagos had crooked markers, but remember that these are super macro pictures so in real life it's probably less significant.
IMO ZF is still the way to go, just pay attention in QC pics. markers can be fixed, but the other flaws that KW have cannot be fixed.

I think I'll repost my own text from another thread:
ZF colors are just one thing but wrong bezel engravings (shape and positions) and minor problem with Tudor shield logo is worse than V6F. In this case I can live with small mistake on caseback vs glaring "one look is enough to say it is a rep" problems on front view of ZF's version:
Tudor shield - upper two "windows" are not rectangular on gen and V6F.... on ZF they are...
Since both ZF & V6f versions were photographed with the same source of light (and the same direction- look at the shadow of big triangle at 12) - the ZF's edge of sapphire is way too much reflective when comparing to both gen & V6f - looks like angle the edge was cut is different.

Wow that's an impressive eye for detail I couldn't even see the shape on the windows til I zoomed into the picture!

ok I now see that the ZF bezel triangle position is incorrect, that is a bit of a bummer..
but i think the shield on the dial the ZF is still better. true the top two corners are not as sharp, but this will only be noticeable under macro shots like this, but the shape on the windows the ZF looks better. From what I can see the gen has retangular windows too, if anything the V6F windows look too big.

Ooihh the top edge is curved slightly. I wonder if that is even noticeable without a loupe or macro shots.Not rectangular windows... it is GEN closeup:
I was really set in the ZF, now I'm unsure again... lol
I'm looking for a summer watch to throw in with an order of a AP V7 diver and thought this was the one. Tough call between these two so I'm prob gonna catch this one a few versions down the line. Too many times I've bought a watch with flaws only for them to be corrected with a newer version the week after I've just bought one !!

I’m disappointed in my ZF, The bezel is crocked and will not line up at the 12 o’clock marker. Also the dial looks slight tilted / crocked. Having tried on the GEN the watch just feel off. I suggest waiting for the newer batches.

Isn't that what QC pictures are for??
No point complaining now...

You can get the alignment fixed up by a watchsmith. The gap between the triangle and the top of the bezel looks much better than on the intime photos. The logo is very difficult to tell on those pics
