Is this v6f V3 even for real or is a marketing gimmick. Doesn't seem to be on any of the other TDs?

I just ordered the V6F version 2. Considering what a perfect rep it is I can't see how they could improve with a V3, or care for that matter

I live in China and have bougth watches from both KW and ZF.( I have a Chinese friend there has the contact, during my chinese is poor) Some few watches from both KW and ZF, have needed some repair and here I have realized, that the address to send those watches to repair are the same. So KW and ZF are related witch it's others(as far I now the owners are very close family). ZF have specialized in Tudor and KW in PAM, and you can get a KW watch from ZF and a ZF watch from KW, depending what brand you buy.
So I think a comparison between KW and ZF Pelagos, can actual be a comparison of 2 watches from same place. Look at there homepages (www.kw.com and www.zf.com), even those are same design, only with different names on. Anyway both companys make very nice watches and if anything is wrong, they fix it. I have a GMT from ZF with CHS, where the movement not was assemled correct. they fixed it and after 6 months, still working perfect. I bought a PAM from KW to a friend, here was the power reserve not ok, also here they fixed it also very fast. The address I should send those two watches to service, GMT from ZF and the PAM from KW, was the same.
I have the Pelagos from ZF v2, and i have no complains at all. I have a gen Tudor movement, I isntalled in it, but the movement there was in the watch from ZF was more accurate, so reinstalled that again. Here after a vacation with a lot of swimming both in ocean and at hotel pools, the watch still work + 1.5 to +2 sec/day(very stabel, no variations). Will later see if the gen movement can be adjusted by a proffesional, to perform that good too.

As a side note, "8" is a lucky number in China. Phoenetically it is pronounced "ba" which is similar to ? "fa" which means good fortune/wealth.
I think this is a super-rep. Some very minor differences I can see are that the rep crown is slightly less well finished than the gen. There is some blurring of the dial lume on the rep. The date wheel seems more flush/better aligned in the gen. I think it's extremely unlikely anyone would be able to see these differences with the naked eye and these differences could be just due to differences in QC seen even in the gen models (with exception of the date wheel).
Repworld, My point was not KW or ZF was the best, but that one person here want to see KW vs ZF. I don't know if XF look more accurate, but the ZF v2 looks actual very good. Without zoom, just on the arm, I don't think many people can call it out. here some pictures of mine Pelagos ZF.
