I just got an answer from Chazingtime in their sales thread. The answer is not very clear, but I think that they in fact chose to call the KW version V3, because the ZF version was called V2.
Trigger pulled on KW/V6F, now we wait for QC pics. I have been out of the game for a bit but I saw this and was all over it. Now it's time to clean a few of mine up and put them in the sales thread!
Just to be clear, looks like there is no such thing as a kw v3 (it is simply the v2 version but they are calling it v3 to avoid confusion with the Zf.....way to confuse the buyers tho smh). Every ZF ad/link brags about how the case material is alu-bronze mix, I don't see that in the kw listings, does this mean the ZF is the superior/more gen like version with the v2?
Has anyone purchased these upgraded versions yet? Pics would be very helpful fellows. The more I look at the gen pics the more goldy/blingy it looks to my eyes, making ZF a better rep, but the bezel color seems to be a bit off (too red for the ZF)...any feedback is much appreciated.

If you look on pure times site the kw v3 is also made of alu bronze. And in the close ups there is a couple differences to be spotted. For example the kw v3 seems to have more 3d looking markers/(dunno if thats more gen like) but the zf v2 has more 3d printing on the dial which looks better of course. Will send you links in a minute
Heres the links:

I don't see anything on puretime's website stating the alu-bronze mix of the kw v3. Intime, chazingtime, etc..all other websites I checked screams about how the ZF version is the only one with this new material where kw v3 only says "bronze case". I like the 3-6-9 numerals on the kw v3 way better...zf just looks somewhat wrong (especially 6..too thin?) and the bezel insert color seems to be another major difference between the two (ZF appears to be more on the red end than bronze).
Oh well, I guess I will wait until the reps of this model matures a bit....

Yup, that's the only site I saw claiming that kw is aubronze, but if you check again, that's for the v2...so I'm not sure if that was misadvertisment on kw's end and then they changed it to v3 and fixed the description to bronze case?
Seeing some pics would be nice. I'm surprised that no one posted pics yet, we had so many V1 buyers (including myself) but not all that v2 or v3?
What do you all think about ZF v2's bezel insert? That seems to be the major difference along with the 3-6-9 font/shape. I am not sure which one is more gen like tho since the more reddish insert of ZF looks closer to the gen in some pics but the bronze inser colors seems/feel more correct?

There's no v3 kw, they are just the v2. Likely it's a marketing gimmick of kw thats all

That's what I also think but this Ali-bronze case ambiguity is concerning to me. All ZF listings have these case details with capitalized or bolded letters (trying to show the difference) where kw doesn't even say a word...

Got my bronze!
I think the pic's white balance and lighting is pretty accurate (from my iPhone SE screen anyway). Patina showed up really quick after a really light reset with ketchup, about 20ish minutes. Used lotion and sanded the strap to distress it a little, AMAZING strap! Soft and comfy with a suede inner to boot :clap_1:

For those struggling to decide, heres some pics of my ZF V2 relumed by Zocker (lume looks more greenish irl than on the pics). Dont mind the shirt, just got out of bed 
Beautiful photos. I have a question about your band. I just received my ZF V2 this week. My wrist is approximately 7.25 in. At first, I could barely get the clasp to the first position. After wearing it for awhile, I can now, with difficulty , get the clasp into the second hole.
Yours appears to be in the fourth hole. What size is your wrist?
Thank you.
