It is a beauty, just a shame the case is totally wrong size.

Wrong size? How did you come to that conclusion?

The case diameter is correct, the bezel diameter is correct (for the ceramic versions) and the thickness is 0,8mm. That's eight ten's of a millimeter.

This model is the closest to the gen there is in every way, including size.

There is only 0.8mm difference in case size over the gen. This is hardly even noticeable to the eye and if you’re going to quibble over 0.8 of a mm then this hobby isn’t for you.

Still alive!

The gold seems to hold up great too. No noticeable scratches or anything, except for some mild desk-divers on the clasp.

The laser etching is is top notch! Pricey or not - going by your reaction towards it I'd say it's totally justified.Cuz what's the saying? "You can't put a price on happiness?" ;) Well in this case you did! Bravo!

Great so far, knock on wood! 

I think deviation is at about +15sec, and it has been steady now since purchase.

Thanks for the info! Have you played with the chronos or just leave them alone?

Not much of a chrono in these. Minute and hour modules are removed from the chrongraph, so the seconds hand is the only functioning bit. The modified movement is supposed to be more reliable. 
But to answer your question, the watch came from TD with the chrono enabled. I wound the watch, reset the chrono, tried the chrono once and never touched it again :D

OP, I read that you could cut the strap to have a smaller fit. Possible to do that?

I've been wondering about these oysterflex models, but I'm afraid my skinny wrist won't work with this, just curious how small it goes?

I can,t tell from the op,s photos but it looks like the case is the same size as the steel version and has been plated. The gen gold head is larger than the gen steel head. I may be wrong.
