V6F Pelagos V2 or V3?

[nojoeing]

I've been doing some reading, and I still can't find a definitive answer. I have decided that for me V6F would be the better Pelagos, but I don't understand what is the difference between V2 and V3 and is there any difference at all? Some people say that it is simply a new batch and the fact that only one TD offers it seems a bit strange.

So, does a V3 exist and is it any better than V2?

Thanks.

No definitive answer on this, but I get the feeling that it's a V2 with clasp and back upgraded to SS per the gen. From the images alone I can't personally tell of any differences elsewhere, but I'm not a pelagos expert! My guess would be that the factory themselves have not communicated that it's a version change, but to some dealers the SS changes warrant a different SKU.

Ordered the V3 a couple of days ago after confirming it's in stock, just awaiting QC pics (which are against the rules to post). If anyone is good at spotting differences on the pelagos maybe I can PM them the images to review? If not will have to wait until it's arrived - will definitely take pictures.

A few dealers have said that the V6F/KW is better, there's the 'is there a consensus' thread which generally told me there's no consensus, so I'll take the dealer's word.

That was useful, thanks. I also read the "is there a consensus thread" and I get a feeling that the overall quality is better with V6F. I will wait till you get your watch before I order one. I think I can live with the V2 having in mind that it is already a super rep and there isn't much to be improved. Can you send me your QC pics? I am no expert but am wondering how it looks.

Yeah looking back at V2 images it does look like it, maybe someone that owns it can confirm?

Got my QC on Friday (ordered Monday) but it was a two liner V1 rep. Rejected and waiting to hear back.

Puretime also listing V3 now, but no details on what's new.

I got a reply from my TD saying that V2 is completely replaced by V3. i.e. if you order a V2 now you will get a V3. Seem like it's simply a new batch.

I used to own the 2 line rep and that had SS clasp and back. Jut wasnt sure about the in house rep.

So nothing's changed? Is it normal for a version revision on new batch?

Well according to my TD, yes nothing has changed. I, however, do not think that it is normal to give a new version for new batches.

Accepted a V3, nothing I can really see for certain from the QC images alone, but to me it looks like the bezel font is thicker (which was previously noted as being too thin).

Will post more images when it gets here!

That looks great! Is that the V3 that you have ordered?

 

[Esbonym]

This is actually bit funny. The V3 from
V6F has a too bold bezel insert font and ZF V3 little bit too thin.

 

[akira448]

Don't mind the thicker font. Now if they can fix that sunken date wheel...

After some writing Emails, the answer from the V6F Factory to my question „what is the difference from V2 to V3“ is that the only difference on the V3 is an updated brushing of the Movement plate.
All the rest is same to V2.

@sogo
Is this Dial comparing V2 to V3 ?
where are these Fotos from?

Sorry, i don‘t have comparing Fotos of the Movement.
I have a good wire to a TD and he got this Information direct from the factory. He asked 2 times at V6 and they said only the brushing of the movement plate was updated. hmmm..
