Received my pelagos v2 today from Chazing time and she's a beauty. Had a few week wait till a new batch became available but it was worth it. Markers are close to perfect.

Very nice I'm looking to buy myself the blue version I want to compare it to my gen then if it's as one as everyone says probably move my gen on.

The date is still left adjusted, which is a big tell for ZF vs gen (V6F doesn't have these issues). Markers are definitely better aligned vs all the issues ZF was having previously, which is honestly unacceptable for such a high priced rep. On close inspection and comparison of ZF V2 and V6F V2, my vote goes to V6F V2 being the most accurate (with the caseback and movement having better engravings as well).

I much prefer the text on the older version of the watch as the new one is much more cluttered, I will be installing a genuine eta movement in this so that should fix the date wheel issue which honestly is barely noticeable when wearing the watch. I will post another of the date wheel as this one is from an angle. The TD recommended this ZF over the V6 version of the watch.

huh? You mean the date wheel is left adjusted? That one was just a lemon... actually that's the first VF with a date left adjusted I've seen. But the thing is if you look at both the V6 and ZF side by side you'd notice really fast the engravings and overall brushing texture on the V6 is really poorly done compared to the ZF. Also the V6 uses the totally wrong metal on the clasp and the case back... the ZF uses stainless steel which is correct. Also the V6 indices are actually really poorly made (you can see they're quite grainy in texture) and they actually use the slightly wrong color of lume (yes it's blue but a member on RepGeek did a comparison and did indeed confirm the V6 is the wrong shade of blue as it's got more green hues in it).

Also I wouldn't look too closely into the movement engravings... most of us buy closed caseback for a reason haha all in all, the ZF is actually the more accurate rep.

Does your ZF V2 have any play in bezel?? I have VERSION 1 and it does have some play......

I don't know if it's a good sample or an improvement, but it's tight.

Hi guys just a quick question, what are the easiest tells between a ZF v1 against ZF v2? I have a 5 liner blue pelagos from ZF but unsure what version it is. Thanks in advance!

My v2 has the best bezel I've ever seen in a rep!
