Hey guys and girls!

My wife just returned from a business trip to China with an early Christmas present for me

No idea which factory it’s from, but she had it ordered in by a seller in the Guangzhou Watch Market.

I don’t think it’s perfect, but I have a gen Black Bay Black Manufacture Calibre and this doesn’t look out of place next to it.

Do you think it’s a ZF or V6F?

Cheers!

Great looking example, and the loom is quite impressive. Saving up for one myself. I'm sure some rep savant on this forum will touch base with an answer..

Disregard the watch.. and just focus on your wife, clearly she's a keeper !

Fat bezel markers and the shape of a pearl makes me think this is V6. If you want to be 100% you need to open the caseback, ZF has a clear rotor while V6 rotor has the Tudor branding.
Personally I wouldn't care about the maker, the watch looks great anyway!

Hah, she’s definitely a keeper!

She said her colleagues did all the hard work finding a seller in the market that knew what she was talking about and doing the deal (plus using Alipay etc!), but massive respect for her because by all accounts it can get a little bit shady around that area and she was on a mission to get me the piece

I won’t bother undoing the case back; I’m really happy with it regardless, but nice to know it might be the V6 as that’s what I was hoping for.

Thanks! It was still lumey enough after about 10 hours in darkness last night that I could tell the time!

Just in case anyone is interested, according to my measurements taken with the ToolWatch app, it’s consistently running at +1.6 seconds a day. I can live with that!!
