Pelagos ZF vs. V6 - is there a consensus?

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?

Yeah, it looks like it's crooked a bit. However it's now rejected so no worries. Can't wait to get it!

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

Please do note, the V6 does indeed have a tendency to have a greater number of misaligned hour markers versus ZF however the overall build quality of the ZF is just a whole lot better. Also the ZF is closer to true weight, you'll notice that right away from your KW.

I am getting my ZF Pelagos modded by Strodda soon to get all the markers aligned.

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

This is really impossible to notice without zooming in. would never bother a td by rejecting a watch only because it is grainy with 200x zoom

Indeed you are correct but be aware that this can actually affect how even your lume appears at night or in the dark...

It's puffy lume, I always preferred ZF for this reason but on the wrist is very difficult to see

The lume application is actually pretty noticeable IMO. It would def bother me.
We're all so crazy about the small stuff, people don't notice.

Anndddddd your hour makers are on point! Excellent ZF example!


Lol I feel like this is ZF's business model... Copies Tudor Pelagos with high grade materials and effort, hires drunkards to put watch together to cut costs

12 year olds sticking the marker on in someone's kitchen is closer to the truth!

Here are my QC pics I received from PureTime. I wouldn't settle until you see a piece like this.

[MENTION=40964]shelby1501[/MENTION] That's the difficult part with the square markers. It looks very plain and though but they have to be perfectly straight

I know but I believe I'll get a nice one from KW, I always liked their watches mostly because of the perfection. We'll see in a day or two when I get new pics. :)

It's such a great watch, it truly is the updated version of the submariner.

By the way, how can we tell they use titanium?

Sorry for the noob question but are "QC" shots stuff you get ahead of time from the dealer or shots you take after receiving?
