Pelagos ZF vs. V6 - is there a consensus?

[ssouthall6]

Your best bet is to remove the end links which connect to the bracelet from the case, I used a small pin that you use to put pictures onto a notice board, you know the ones that all have different coloured plastic ends?! Once off to remove links you need a 1.2 or 1.4mm jewellers screwdriver to remove the links. There are also a divers extension and micro adjustment (3 settings) if you need them.

I read the five last pages and still not sure about who is best... :cry2:. V6F or ZF?!

What about new V6f blue and black Pelagos v2? (rep of 2016 models)
How they compare with ZF models in terms of accuracy?

I've had my Pelagos for a couple months now. But, this is my first automatic watch, it took me a while to learn the proper techniques for changing bracelet, winding etc. However, the watch reserve would always stop, i thought its because I am not active enough and sedentary, but i tried a few things and then would wind it and having slight issue, idk how many hours reserve I should expect, but the bigger issue is it is losing time

I haven't done thorough testing, but I think it loses close to 1 second per minute, so in a span of like 5-6 hours it is off by about 5 minutes. Anyone know if I got a defective unit or is that to be expected in the rep watch, please let me know. Is it possible that I could have messed something up winding? I don't think I did as I was very careful and hesitant to try anything until researching. Please let me know

If it is loosing that much in such a short period of time the movement has an issue. Probably best to have it serviced or replaced. Might be a great opportunity to install angen ETA 2824.

Hey, I'd say that with the new version, the V6F is way closer than the rep but both are okay!!!

I'm going to test it again more thoroughly. I checked back on it many hours later and it had only lost 5 seconds. But, what I have been noticing is when I am wearing it, I believe it stops or loses time compared to sitting on my desk over the same timespan. I will test and check back, but has anyone heard of an issue like this?

My KW V2 is on its way now. I wasn't very happy with the first version due to lug spacing issue, but looking at the comparisons ZF still seems much better.

That being said, V1 is incredibly comfy to wear, one of the best 300 bucks spent on. Owning several gen divers they feel at least as gen as my TAG Aquaracer.

Do you think that ZF seems better than KW V2?

I think finishing is closer to the gen than KW V2. KW V2 has a smoother finishing whereas KW is more brushed in a circular fashion.

So why did you go with the KW V2, just because you prefer the smoother finish?

I don't know man. If I could I would've gone for ZF right now but there isn't a huge difference between these two builds. I think I limited my expectations too narrow, once I figured spacing issue was gone I was charmed.

Besides, my dealer kinda lured me also.

That was an unnecessarily written one. Don't want to bias people's opinion.

But I feel like ZF is better, ultimately.

Still not sure if Pelagos Blue V6F V2 or ZF better (there is a black but ZF do not have black for this model) OR Pelagos Black ZF V2 or V6F. It seems like there are 2 different models.

Nah, thank you for your opinion. This is a really difficult choice, the differences between them are hard to tell.

I have been pretty busy for a more thorough test, but what I have noticed is that it keeps time decently while laying flat on my desk. However, it loses time or stops when I'm wearing it on my wrist. Has anyone ever heard of something like this, or can someone lead me how I can resolve this? I want to test more thoroughly, but have been quite busy. But, in the 8-12 hours I left it on my desk it only lost like 4-5 seconds. However, when wearing it on my wrist for under 1 hour, I noticed it was over 15 minutes off. I think it just stops ticking, even when it is wound.

[MENTION=113452]openwatch[/MENTION] there's something wrong, the movement needs to be checked up.
which factory is that?
