pcardoza Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share 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.

Pontiaddict Posted June 21, 2016 Author Report Share 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...

Arthur1 Posted July 6, 2016 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimster Posted July 8, 2016 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimster Posted July 9, 2016 Report Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GenTLe Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pannyman04 Posted August 25, 2016 Report Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted November 17, 2016 Report Share 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] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronin Posted November 28, 2016 Report Share 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
