pcardoza Posted June 21, 2016 Report Posted June 21, 2016 I wish I were as good at photography as some of you guys are, but.... It's not to be. Here's a few more photos in different light. I love the larger size. For anyone who questions if it is real bronze, I see the patina already starting to form. As I noted before, the strap is a bit short, but it's not a bad effort. The OEM nato strap would be much better. I think this one will get a lot of wrist time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk One more shot. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2
Pontiaddict Posted June 21, 2016 Author Report Posted June 21, 2016 Very nice, the color of the bezel insert is not as red as I had feared, overall the watch looks stunning. I opted toward the KW version, Sead sent me pictures but no shipping info as yet, hopefully i will be as happy with mine as you are with yours...
swdivad Posted July 1, 2016 Report Posted July 1, 2016 I still see this in the rep... they need to lift their game on the dial printing
Arthur1 Posted July 6, 2016 Report Posted July 6, 2016 Just got my QC pics for my KW, watch is quite patina-ed already. Did you guys who have scored one already clean it up when it arrived. If so was it easy? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Jimster Posted July 8, 2016 Report Posted July 8, 2016 I use Never Dull wading. It's been around for decades and works well on all finishes. Here's my KW with just a light rub. My photos are terrible but it rubs a light, nice patina. 2

If it were only bigger than 42mm, I'd be all over it. Nice looking piece!
prdubis Posted July 8, 2016 Report Posted July 8, 2016 Price dropped from $348 to 248! http://rwg.cc/topic/185015-248-sale-tudor-black-bay-bronzo-v6-best-edition-on-asso-brown-leather-a2824-free-nylon-strap
Jimster Posted July 9, 2016 Report Posted July 9, 2016 I bought early and retail. So, I've worn it four times. That's $25 each time wearing it compared to buying it now. This is a great price.
GenTLe Posted July 10, 2016 Report Posted July 10, 2016 A few minutes in a ketchup bath will return the bronze to its original luster, try searching ketchup bath for some diy instructions. Personally I hate the ketchup way. It is messy, it can go below the bezel where you don't want it and thanks god that stuff isn't diffused in Italian homes. Just check the caseback and crown aren't lose, take away the strap (this should be done whatever system you want to use), take a recipient and put in some vinegar/lemon juice and a little spoon on NaCl (common salt). Then leave the watch in tipa bath for 10 mins and you are done. A little rinse with fresh water (better demineralized) and that's it. somebody needs to rep that nato....stat The brown nato comes together the kw/v6f watch as a bonus.

Thanks for the tips... I read on RWI it could be done and it looks nice afterward but your method sounds much more user friendly!
Arthur1 Posted July 11, 2016 Report Posted July 11, 2016 Can't wait to get my KW. Got an ammo strap and bronze preV buckle waiting on it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Arthur1 Posted July 14, 2016 Report Posted July 14, 2016 Still waiting on package from Andrew He says that they are only going out in 3's at the moment due to increased Chinese custom checks. The waiting is always hard! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Pannyman04 Posted August 25, 2016 Report Posted August 25, 2016 I see Trusty is now selling a V2 V6F version of this, at a low price too. Anyone got any info?
Ronin Posted November 17, 2016 Report Posted November 17, 2016 Bump to say Trusty now has a V6F V3. Thoughts? There are now FIVE versions of this out in the wild between the ZF & V6F (assuming V6F=KW too)... [head spinning]
Pannyman04 Posted November 28, 2016 Report Posted November 28, 2016 No-one got the versions figured out?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Ronin Posted November 28, 2016 Report Posted November 28, 2016 I pulled the trigger on the "latest & (maybe) greatest" V6F V3. When it arrives I will post some pics. Maybe we can get some other side by sides. Let's keep this thread alive...
