I'm considering pulling the trigger on a Tudor Pelagos Black ZF v3 (Toro link). ZF v2 seemed to get good reviews. Did anyone got a V3 and tell the differences?

I think he means a v2 with 5 line dial. Same watch, different dial and caseback

Is one more accurate than the other in any major sense? I can not tell if there have been any other updates to the watch other than the change in dial and case-back which weren't really improved, but instead just changed to replicate the new 5 liner version. I'd love to know because I have been on the verge of buying the 2 liner version for some time now. Anyone know any TD's that still carry it? I haven't had much success finding any that still have it in stock.

I am not an expert on the black one but I am yet to see a ZF version with good hour marker alignment (every single blue ZF I have seen so far has crooked hour markers and I don't even know how it doesn't bother people). I think the black ones are slightly better (for whatever reason) but I would go with the KW version for superior assembly quality.

Found ou that Pelagos black ZF v3 has no Tudor logo and brand name engrave on the rotor itself. Still undecided whether to go with ZF v3 or V6 v2

I just ordered a v2, I wonder if that's what I'll be getting or if I'm gonna end up with a v3.

I was told by TD ZF v2 out of stock, hence proceeding with ZF v3. Waiting for the qc photos now..

V3 has 5 lines of text on the dial vs 2 lines on the v2. The v3 also has a case back that is finished as per gen (not polished like the v2 I believe).

Intime pic shows V2 with 5 lines

Puretime pic shows V3 also with 5 lines

So something is not right here?

Those markers are pretty bad... I'd probably reject it, problem is the next one might be worse lol. And it might not be very visible on the wrist

Besides the markers at 12, 1, 2 position being off, noticed the triangle tip on the bezel is way off center as well. I reckon the crooked markers will be fairly visible on wrist, as you can clearly see it touches the chapter ring. I'm rejecting this one and hoping for a better 2nd piece.
