Pelagos ZF V2 Black dial - What are the tells? Mods needed?

[commanderbond]

Hello all...
Regarding the black dial Pelagos ZF V2, I am wondering what the tells/imperfections are? Anything glaring?
Also, what mods can be done to "gen-asize" this watch? Will an ETA 2824 movement fit without issues?


Thank you for your input.

I think the numbers on the bezel are too thin.. but overall the Pelagos rep is fantastic from what I know.

Sorry if this is a bit of a stupid question, but how, or where does one acquire gen parts such as this? Other than patrolling EBay or the parts sales section here on an off chance, is there a more sure fire method?
Cheers

I haven't seen bezel inserts anywhere

I haven't either. Not really seen too many gen parts for sale at all for the new Tudor line.
For the time being, it might be a case of just accepting the reps for what they are, very good but with one or two issues, or saving up our pennies and buying a gen.

Pretty sure Tudor tightened the parts distribution with the launch of the heritage collection so a wm will need to order with specific ref.

Anyway, the pelagos is great, one mod I've seen lots of is 2xAR'd crystals which looks awesome

I have a black Pelagos (and red Black Bay) and also think it's great. I haven't done any mods to either but I've seen pics on here with a 2xAR crystal - prof's? - and there looks to be a marked improvement in clarity so I may at some point look at getting that done.
Also, if HR ever gets back to me Id be interested in buying a branded BB dial to try that out.

In the meantime, I'm just enjoying wearing them

Cheers
