So is the new KW V2's blue actually a match for the Gen unlike the old KW V1's blue?

What's wrong with Font?

If you look reeeeeaaallllly closely at the comparison pics above, you'll see that the font on the KW could be a sliiiight bit bolder. At least, I think that's what he means. I for one, struggle to see the differences most people are pointing to here and most would disappear without a loupe.

KW

Oh you reckon? Then you must've had them both in your hands to suggest that.

ZF is still better than KW in terms of finishing. KW's one and only improvement was the dial and bezel color, other than that the same watch as is with V1.

Personally (and I'm kinda new at this so don't beat me up lol), I find the KW v2 more appealing given QC issues on the majority of ZFs - everything from weird paint peeling on the ZF blue bezel after a year to folks complaining they went through 4 or more before they found one with minimal dancing markers - the KW seems a better deal overall if the bracelet is the main thing that's better on the ZF. The blue color was a bit more off on the V1 KW, but the V2 seems to have fixed that. Yes, I'm going by what's been posted on the forums about both models repeatedly and weeks of reading - I haven't owned either one.

Hi,

Debate seems to run around which maker's version is more accurate. ZF is more accurate. I owned all three (KW v1, v2 and ZF) and those issues you mentioned apply to all reps in general, not only ZF. As an instance I had more dancing markers on my v2 Dial than a randomly picked ZF and it was as annoying as it got.

Ah ok. So KW V2 had the dancing markers as well?

What about the ZF's HEV? That seems to be non-titanium unlike the gen and the KW from some other pictures recently put up on the forum.

Even some gens come with slightly crooked markers. Never seen a single Pelagos rep with perfectly aligned markers at all. HEV might be another detail along with engravings that make KW superior to ZF but again, IMHO ZF's overall finishing and case is more accurate.

Damn, if only KW v2 and ZF v2 had a baby.

So hard to pick one!

That's how the rep game is in general. Rarely a maker dominates a model in all aspects. The rest is all about gives and takes :)
