Zenith Pilot Type 20 Extra Special Questions

Recommended Posts

christaddict

Hello everyone,

 

This is my first post in this forum.

I want to buy Zenith Pilot Type 20 Extra Special and have some questions...

 

First, Regarding Stainless Steel version, there are 2 versions.

1) ZF Version 2

http://www.intime01.co/zenith/2672-pilot-type-20-extra-special-v2-zf-1-1-best-edition-ss-45mm-black-dial-on-brown-asso-strap-a2892.html

2) V6F

To my noob eyes, ZF version's dial looks more sharp... which one is the better version of two?

 

 

Second, I read from other posts that Bronze model has Miyota movement which is noisy.

I see from Intime that there is V6F Bronze model with A2824 movement.

1) Is this version 2 of V6F bronze model?

2) Is there any news regarding ZF's bronze model?

 

Thanks in advance

can't answer your first question but, yes, the current version of the bronze has an A2824.

How is this a review?

 

Anyway, get the regular version by V6F. More versatile than bronze and a very very accurate rep. Your noob eyes don't realize yet that TD websites are not the place to make comparisons.

V6F>ZF

I think instead that the V6F looks better. The countourn of the numbers, in steel, is the right size on the V6, while thinner or nearly invisible on the ZF.

Anyway it's a matter of so tiny details that I wounldn't really care.

 

I've the bronze with Miyota inside: I put a ultra tiny amount of Moebius HP1300 in the bearing. That + the bulky case made it totally silent.

I would always go for a Miyota (where QA is assured) over an Asian movement (where cheapness is assured).

There are only two... I was expecting twenty extra special questions. And on top of that, they weren't even remotely special.

Not a review. Moved to General Discussion.

 

I have the bronze version with Miyota. Wonderful watch.

You are joking right? Extra special is part of the model name. :lol: And I would agree with Khronos, KW is always more consistent in quality in comparison with ZF.

ZF Steel version is better than KW version

 

Bronze is only made by KW. Miyota has been sold out, only the 2824 is available.

 

ZF SS version and KW Bronze are the same quality. KW SS is inferior

The KW bronze is my all time favourite watch. Quality is superb. Keeps phenomenal time too.
