Pelagos ZF vs. V6 - is there a consensus?

Read the whole thread and there don't seems to be a general consensus. Both makers got their own shares of supporters.

Anyway, comparing the price of the blue pelagos (prices from puretime), V6f v2 is $20 cheaper than the zf, but can I confirm if the back case and clasp in V6f v2 is ss or titanium?

I remember reading it earlier on but I read thread after thread and got myself confused now.

Few TDs i spoke with recommend V6F due to better QC.
From what I understand they do have stainless steel back and clasp.
I went with black V6F after much research as well.

Thanks for the info. I'm still doing my research before pulling the trigger. I'm torn between pelagos and an iwc pilot, but if I do get a pelagos, it would be from V6f too.

I had the v6f and ZF and ZF was the better of the two. ZF was the one I kept. The build quality was closer to gen. You have to be very careful with ZF QC, I got lucky thanks to Seads excellent QC.

I added serviced gen eta and prof crystal but have decided to move it on to raise some funds - if anyone wants one in the EU check m2m, I have one for sale right now

But sad that zf couldn't get the right size of the tringle and numbers of the bezel and the "swiss made text" all too small and thin. Dont know if they even fixed the spacing problem?

Here are few photos of ZF v3. Do you fellas see something to whine about? I can't.
The photos are not avaliable, is there another way to see them? I'm really interested in the v3. What TD did you use?

The 30 on the bezel insert is slightly to the left.. i had to sell mine off cheap with the same problem. there is a batch of bezel inserts that are not centre

ZF are a shambles.. this was the fourth watch i had checked and i had to take it as it was. I see QC 7 faults on it. If you get a good one you are extremely lucky

Those are attachments, maybe they are hidden on Tapatalk? TD is Toro.

A good point but I don't think that's so bad. The bezel is pretty easy to replace with a better one. At least I have understood that the crooked markers are the biggest problem.

Nice. Which TD? Am looking at Chazing once I finally decide between V6F and ZF, though looks like V6F is front runner.

I recently bought a ZF from Chazing and I'm very, very pleased!
