I have compared to the KW V6 to ZF v2/v3 and summing up:

ZF has overall better quality, better clasp , correct material for caseback and clasp
KW has better QC, less likely to get crooked markers
ZF has better lume

What bothers me is that the numbers on the bezel of the ZF looks thinner than gen. Can someone confirm?

You are correct, they are slightly thinner...

Is there a Pelagos with Miyota 9015 or 8215?
Or, will the Tudor Pelagos ZF or V6 fit one of these movements in case I need to swap them?
If not, I would appreciate any suggestions on other Tudor models that would fit Miyota. Thanks!

No and no.

Why would you want a Miyota in there?

You could probably get a 2892 to fit in there if you really don't like the 2824-2

Just received my KW version today. I can confirm that KW had upgraded the caseback and clasp to SS instead of Titanium.

I tried the gen some days ago and I must admit that this rep is pretty close. The gen's bezel didn't even line up perfectly at 12 and had the same amount of play like my rep.
The gen did had a much smoother bracelet and good AR but not worth the +$3000 imo

EDIT:
Just came back from my local watchsmith to have it tested for water resistancy. It is resistant up to 10atm, pretty good !

Guys, which one to order? V6 or ZF? (5 line dial, black colour)
Few days ago I was convinced that V6 is the one I have to order, now I am confused...

To be honest you can drive yourself mad, i did. Read loads of pages and still couldn`t decide.

Went for the V6 in the end and i`m happy with it, all seems to be down to personal preference.

Looks like there is another one on the block, but haven`t looked at these "KW version". It`s on one of the posts above.

I have ZF blue and black and before purchasing I was also confused but after reading all the reviews I decided to go ZF and I must it was a good decision but like they say everyone to their own hope that helps.

Just receive my ZF V2 with 2XAR crystal. Awesome looking watch!

I have a quick regarding removing links from the bracelet. I remove the second link from the bottom on both the 6 o'clock side and on the 12 o'clock side. Is this the correct procedure? I first just removed from 6 o'clock side but it was still a tad big. Fits good now. 3rd pic shows after links removed

The trick is to keep the buckle parallel to the watch, comfortable to wear.

Wow envy! This is a V6F V2?

1) May i ask in terms of weight, is this rep lighter than the gen?
2) In terms of the material, is it the same as gen? It feels brushed metal.
3) I heard the bezel clicks in rep is lesser than the gen? Gen can do more clicks.

To you -
What are the straight tells?
What can be improved for a V6F V3?

Hi, this is the first time that I'm writing in the forum, and pelagos is the first rep that I want to buy...
(I hope that I'm not breaking the rule) From another forum I font this v6f v1 for 230 dollar.

How is it? You advice to buy it?

I want 5 lines but for 100 dollar less I can buy it, if you say me that is a good occasion

Thank you for help m [emoji38]

@bazzino a bit of stains on the bezel or decolourization? look at the triangle pearl (12 hour mark) on the bezel
