Hi,

I just cancelled my order of V6F v3 because somebody directed me to the post. My TD told me today that he double checked with the factory and they have no plan to upgrade to ZF v3. Has anyone followed up if this is really happening?

Thank you!

XF and ZF are different bro :)

Don't mix up factories ;) Even in the versions currently out, ZF had the inferior rep as their BBB had a reddish bezel whereas XF was spot on with the colour, their only issue was dial painting which is going to be fixed

Oh and by the way V6F = VSF = XF

Maybe end of this year, They are going to update bronze models now, and stop producing it after new version sold out.

Do you know if the Bucherer blue version will also get an update, or just the Brown?

I ask for news to my TD and he told me that it’s true that they want to update dial printing...
but they now have other projects so this update will be probably in 2019...

My XF Bucherer...
I think it looks perfect
There’s a nice 3d printing

Damn, now that I see this picture I will probably withdraw my sale and keep mine although bronze is just not mine but oh well I have to get used to it.

I found that for the v1 a simple ketchup bath did the trick...but iwth the alu-bronze versions it was a bit trickier...I found that cape cod cloth did the trick in those instances.

I see. However wouldn't Capecod also polish the case and remove the brushing?

Not from my experience. It just removed the tarnish. But...use at your own risk ????

My biggest complaint on this watch is the bezel, it has too much play, to the point I decided to fix mine permanently, the writings on the dial should pop out more, also I don't believe the case back color is spot on. Looking forward to a re-issue before I pull the trigger on a gen!!!
