V6f-KW / ZF Heritage BB bronze - more photos...

Trusty time is a TD here actually. I've bought from Lucy before and she's one of the best if not the best when it comes to customer service. You can't go wrong with her.

I suppose you mean truetime? Trustytime i.e. Andrew is not a TD here

I stand corrected! You're right. Was mixing up trusty and true.

I was talking about that 3 oclock hour marker, it seemed to be a bit crocked in some photos...what do you think of that? Do you see the pictures??

In other news, gen fabric is the way to go. Miles and miles beyond the crap that we get.

Details on how you sourced a gen strap. My somewhat local AD wanted the serial # from the watch. And you are correct no comparison

Tell them you want the watch in the other photos where it's not crooked. But seriously, you just ask your TD for another pic or two to confirm if you're not sure. If it's really crooked, they'll probably tell you at that point that they'll grab another watch.

Thanks bro! I had asked for two more photos and seems to be almost correct, not perfect but not too much noticeable and I can live with it. In person I know it will be less noticeable than photos for sure so that watch is coming with a pam bronzo.

I really like the bronze case look in watches lately and I am thinking about getting the pilot special bronze which have a miyota 9015 inside and it is gorgeous watch too! My pocket is suffering!!

And now for something completely different:

I would also be interested in how you sourced it.

The GEN nato looks and feels spectacular, whilst the REP strap is truly the worst I have ever seen in fabric quality.

Would also love to find out what to say at AD. I'm going there in a few days to source the strap

My bronze beauty from Toro...

I roughened and oiled the strap to get a more used vintage look.

Is this a v2?? Bezel looks more bronze than red.

I don't think so, I suspect it's just my terrible pics. It is quite a bit more dynamic in its color than I had anticipated.

Just got mine from Toro. The strap is more orange than I thought it would be. I'm going to change it out anyway, so besides the strap, this watch is everything I was hoping it would be!

So, I'm brand new to all this. Hoping to get a BB Bronze. Is there a version that is close to gen? I am having trouble navigating the deals/ which version is the best to pick up.

Thanks!

If you read this thread, you will see that most people prefer the V6f version ( also called KW). However, both REPs have their small flaws, so it is up to you to choose your poison (i.e. ZF or V6F). I for one am very happy with my V6F

Folks, just received my QC pics for the KW bronze and I am a bit puzzled with the level of patina it came with and the contrast between the current state of the patina and the steel back case. I would greatly appreciate any feedback (numbers and markers look good to me, and I can't see any flaw other than the patina level and the contrast thing...which may not be a flow).

Shall I reject this, too much patina already? Thanks in advance

PS: Here is the link to the whole album but I will post a few pics here as reference
