It seems to me rather exaggerated

It probably is.

I got the impression that it was done by ZF to "puff " their wares, so to speak.


However , it does show the differences

any news of the v6f vs zf? i'm planning to hop onto the pelagos band wagon but can't decide on which one would be the better choice. price for the zf has been reduced which makes things alittle more difficult to choose :(

i just ordered the ZF from Sora,

those recent comparison pics + the price drop on ZF + the fact my BB is a ZF = me placing order for the ZF

honestly though i think any choice is good, great rep it seems all around

I'm so tempted with one if these as I adore my black bay, but I keep hearing about clasp issues with all the rep versions? How are people finding this?

I have the ZF from InTime and frickin love it. No issues whatsoever....although i am not so anal about my watches as some of us
;-).
I love the colour, the weight, the lume, the price, everything.....even my missus (who doesn't really notice watches) said she thought it was really nice. In my top ten watches list ever!

I'm going to order the ZF. I don't love the crown guards but I think they might be able to be reshaped. We shall see. Plenty of great info here in this thread. Kudos.

Yeah the crown guards and the somtimes wacky hour markers are the only thing that concerns me about the ZF.

Good QC on the dial marker would solve one of those problems.

And over time I think the sharp crownguards of the V6 will show wear, due to the titanium, so the ZF might be smarter choice here

Id still rather have the ZF i think.

Well that and the movement.
My BlackBay came with a poopy decorated seagull, which i ended up swapping with a swiss unit.

Im assuming the ZF Pelagos comes with the exact same movement as the blackbay


Does anyone know exactly what movement comes in the V6?

I know its advertized as a A2824, but my Ploprof was also decribed as having a A2824, when it actually came with a A2836.

Id love a 2836 instead of a 2824

Re shaping a ti case is a bad idea. The cg are per gen just earlier versions.

Someone added to my rep points but did not leave a message so I have no idea who it is. Thanks to whoever it is!

Do not order ZF, the bezel numeral number spacing is too big compare to gen. A very big big call out. A quick peek from a distance will call out your rep.
XF has lesser finishing but the spacing of bezel numeral is same as compare to gen. The CG issue is a small issue if you have basic watching making skill. Take out the crown and do some sanding. XF will be as good as gen while ZF with the wrong bezel font spacing is bugging me no matter how good the finishing is.
