I want to be as clear as possible, both watches are very good watches, the only thing is that the XF version is exactly the same as the genuine one. If you see the ZF you will not doubt that you are facing a Pelagos, but if you compare it carefully with an original you will see that there are slight differences and that does not happen with the XF with the exception of the ceramic markers on the dial, which have not been properly never replicated

That's good to hear. I like the roughness of the texture, and I'm big on nice crystals...

Could you possibly post some pics comparing the two? I'd love to see the differences in the case if that's the biggest difference.

XF is not available, the factory was closed by police. ZF in blue is not available at the moment, but two weeks ago the black was available. Ask to any TD to request availability to the factory

Had a punt on LHD from DHgate and the seller can up with the below QC pics. Quality obviously looked horrible and bracelet and clasp were black bay versions rather than Pelagos.

Seller was fine to issue refund based on QC pics so no loss though it begs the question that the parts (dial & date wheel) are out there just no factories to refine them?

Seller was fine to issue refund based on QC pics so no loss though it does beg the question that if the parts (dial & date wheel) are out there, are there just no factories to refine them and they are being cobbled together with other mismatched parts

Dude 7 of the same posts. Thats a 1st.

Yes, sorry about that. Tapatalk kept giving me an error message and kept retrying without checking to see if it had actually posted.

Mods-feel free to delete 6of7.
