Then you have to go ZF Black- that is the only 2 line Pelagos out.
I prefer the 2 line, it's such a simple style of watch, the 5 line makes the dial too busy. Also 2 line gen is 2824 (like rep), 5 line is their in house movement. So 2 line is closer to gen (if you care)
My zf is very poor quality , bezel fell off first night.. clasp is slack and comes loose very easily . Buckle fell off on the rubber strap without any prompting.. All happened in the first week. Looks good ,feels good , build quality awful , well mines certainly!

I just bought a ZF v2, anyway that's what the vendor said it was, I've been wearing it for 3 days now and I love it, it's a really solid watch, no issues so far, and the bezel turns smoothly. I'll post pictures and make a small review in a few days time.
But I love it so far!

I've had a ZF for 1.5 years and it has won many praises. Keeps time well and serves well as a daily beater

When can we expect the conparison?
I want to order it in next few weeks and I'm leaning towards KW but I'd still like to see them side by side.When can we expect the conparison?
Great choice, I think I will eait for KW's LHD version
I have yet to see a ZF with all markers placed straight
Yeah, LHD would be nice too but there is nothing wrong to have both. I always prefered KW over ZF exactly because of the qc issues.
I always prefered KW over ZF exactly because of the qc issues.Not sure if it's me but the lume application on the KW/V6 is really badly done in my opinion. The actual markers themselves carry a highly uneven texture which is actually a far greater problem in my mind over ZF's misaligned hour markers. We must keep in mind that the Pelagos uses applied hour makersa and realignment is a much much easier fix versus unevenly produced surfaces on the hour markers themselves.
Also so another reason I would never go with the KW/V6 is that the model uses the same titanium for the case back and clasp which is completely wrong to gen (they use steel). This causes a significant weight issue with the KW/V6 variant.

I had the Blue ZF and had some major quality issues with it ( clasp, bezel, allignment) .Sent it back, swapped it for the V6F V2 and am well happy with it......a couple of hour markers aren't bang on but you gota be looking close. Blue dial colour is pretty darn close to gen too.
What do you guys think, would you accept this watch? I bought probably 100 watches and I can't remember I ever asked for another one but I really want this Pelagos to be perfect and that crooked marker at 10 is killing me. Also triangle at 12 isn't aligned with Tudor logo and date wheel isn't perfectly centered but I could live with it.
I accepted my pelagos with a crooked marker and it is not possible to notice when on my wrist at all. But it was not as crooked as your marker at 10. Normally I accept a rep even though it isn't perfect, but that marker is way too crooked on your qc... I would ask for another if I was you that's only fair.What do you guys think, would you accept this watch?

Pretty sure that will be visible when wearing the watch

Yeah, I always accept it too and learned to live with a small flaws but this time it really bothers me, that's why I asked for opinion. Rejected and asked for a new one.

Looks like that 6 marker is just a hair angled top to the left, like mine? I just live with it.
It's fairly easy to correct if it bugs me to much?

Hey guys so this is the marker flaw I'm talking about. The blue is the V6F and the black is the ZF. Markers on the V6F are reallly grainy. These are from puretime btw

Oh man did not realize that the markers are flawed on the KW, guess I'm selling mine and ordering the ZF instead!
