Pelagos ZF vs. V6 - is there a consensus?

[d4m.test]

Good stuff and am sure you are wearing it well! Did you get recently and the font, markers, alignment all good? Going to order black one this weekend.

For me all is good! You can check my review and QC photos on the Trusted Rep Dealers under ChazingTime

There was a concern with markings on case and if markers were aligned but should have highlighted it mybad

The photos are not avaliable, is there another way to see them? I'm really interested in the v3. What TD did you use?

Why ar u interested in ZF v3?

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.

Why go with ZF v3 with too tiny bezel font

Markers looks fine, but as always on ZF the bezel numbers got too thin font and the triangle is to low. Instant tell. Why u choose ZF over v6f?

Just reading this thread it seemed to lean towards zf?

Well, I don't know about "the instant tell", approximately 99 percent of people doesn't know about thickness of font. Most of them doesn't even know what's the Tudor. Actually, on the previous page there were photos of gens, which had thin bezel font. Looks like even Tudor is not consistent in terms of production or they have used ZF reps in their photoshoots.

Regarding to the most discussion, the ZF has better overall build quality and it's closer to the gen. Unfortunately the quality control is what it is and you might get a really bad one.

Thin font black from tudors instagram. View attachment 79593

And another one! View attachment 79594

I found that pretty weird too. I guess the thin font is from the latest version ?

Here are few photos of ZF v3. Do you fellas see something to whine about? I can't.

Yes. There is a HUGE flaw, quite a noticeable flaw, the biggest flaw ever known.

Closer to gen? Dont think so.
Too thin font and the numbers got wrong color, almost like silver color.
Hour markers is filled with lume not a pillow of lume like gen. Triangle on bezel sits to low. And if I look at your qc either the case is to dark or helium valve is to light. Might be just the lightning..
Dont know if build quality is better, could be.

The coloring is probably just because lightning but I promise to send better photos when I get that watch. The QC photos are always what they are and I don't understand how you can tell how the lume is filled from the image which is taken from top. Can't argue about thin font but like I wrote, the gen has also some versions with thin font and V6 v3 has too bold font.

It's hard to say from photos which one is better and from photos you can spot only small differences. Somebody wrote in this thread that V6 is lighter and has a weaker lume, and that's why ZF feels more like gen.

I do think the color is a major difference. The gen has a lighter blue.

V6 v3 has too bold font.

What gave you that idea? See:

Quick mockup to show what I mean. All rectangles 12x9 pixels with images scaled roughly to size. Important thing is all edges are consistent - most of the confusion I see about thickness comes down to model and colour, with variance between in house and eta and black and blue. Would be interested in reading the thread where this was discussed!

Top V6F V3 lower Gen.

 

[Transylvanier]

Received mine blue V6F V2 today.

... Love it.!

 

[d4m.test]

okay, i am so super confused now.
I really really want this watch but dont know which is better ZF or V6F.
I`ll be ordering from Cazingtime since Ken has been amazing to deal with!

Considering that I do not care about caseback engravings or clasp as much and only care most about dial and presentation, can someone please help me pull the trigger on this one: ZF or V6F?
Otherwise I`m gonna have to go with the black bay red and I`d rather get this tbh.

Cheers guys!

About to buy myself a xmas present as well and lean more towards the ZF V3.. Gonna pull the trigger now i think..

ZF dial tends to have few flaws: crooked markers, the date is not centered or properly aligned. The rest seems spot on. If you can live with that, go ahead with ZF. I might go with V6F Blue Pelagos later.

 

[RepPossessed]

I don't know if this has come up on any thread yet

V6F have made a V3

Updated Lume on both the bezel and dial

And now has a cloned movement and it's using a Miyota 9015

I have 3 on route

I should probably make a review when they arrive
