Hello guys,,,

Need u guys oppinion on this

I just got my ZF Blue Pelagos from Chazingtime and would like to ask for members' opinion about the CG area. To me, it looks very badly done which the right side of CG is clearly much smaller than the left side CG. I have emailed them and have been told by their QC that it is normal issue and no one complain about it. On many review, i have never seen the CG badly done compared to mine.

Pls help suggest guys

Yes, I agree that the crown guards are off set and uneven. I've not seen this talked about previously. I'll be curious what those who own one say.

never noticed this mention before until your post, but ZF is known to have quality issues... Maybe those who owned this can chip in

And that said, it's not noticeable until you noticed it. And when you wear a watch you wouldn't be staring at the cg, not to even say others staring at yours.

I don't think anyone will notice. Agreed it isn't cool, but honestly, there is absolutely no way anyone will ever notice this while its on your wrist.

I have said it before and I will say it again, V6F is the brand to beat when it comes to the Tudor watches, Pelagos or the Black Bay. They have outdone ZF factory, though that is the one that gets peddled the most on this forum it seems. They are the more accurate and lack the quality issues that plague the ZF watches time and time again. Here is another unfortunate example, and I hope you are able to rectify this with the dealer.

Now that you've mentioned, I've taken a closer look at the photos of mine that i used in my review. It dint bother me one bit as it wasn't noticeable once its worn on the wrist. was it spotted in your initial QC pics sent by the dealer?

Thx for ur opinion Ash,,,it looked better on the qc pics than the actual watch that i got it. I was kind of skipping the cg area since i have seen many reviews and all look good to me but i checked it again and it looks off as well.
Honestly, Im ok if it is a bit uneven but this one is easily noticeable that the cg is uneven. It's definitely that mine is one of the worse [emoji23]

You could always take a dremel to the CG to even it out. I had the issue where ZF had edges that were not finished at all (that is the CGs were sharp and unfiled). You have to open it up to do this but it should work

I dont think it's worth goin thru all the trouble and i dont hav the skill to do it. It's because if im goin to do it, i will have to reshape both in size and edge finish to make the cg look the same which require a lot of modding skill plus i will need to buy a new dremel :D
