Finally got here very shiney - it's almost a dress watch for me lol.

Pretty happy chappy the bezel is lovely, it's got a nice stiff click to it. I love the ceramic liquid metal finish in the flesh and the AR crystal.

Case finish is nice combo of brushed and polished it'll look good on the matching tan/buff donerix strap when it arrives :)21110bd68a2301fbb0707b361a6e6597.jpg

They are much better in real life than my pics the polished finish is nice and love the bling of the ceramic and nice AR I must say! If I'd to pick error the buckle is a bit on the sharp side at corners but that can be rectified - I'll not grumble!!

I received mine from Watchstation yesterday. The bracelet is a pain to resize but at least you only have to do it once. Loving the watch so far. Absolutely stunning!

I have one. These are very nice watches. The bracelet isn't hard to resize at all. Try resizing the LMPO bracelet if you want difficult. The lume is about as good as the LMPO and the CrPO I have.

That's some serious watch porn. How's the weight of the watch? Does it wear light?

It's not that heavy. I'll get an exact weight for you from the digital scale at work when I get there (with 7 links removed).

 

Edit: Just checked and mine comes in at 156g as sized

Got mine today and agree with houndoggie, the brazelet was very easy to adjust and have high quality. Checked the crystal on the back and it was sapphire :)

A question for those who have seen the gen… Is the bezel on these just like the gen? Looks very glossy in rep pics and I've read they're supposed to be blasted ceramic. Gen pics I've seen look like Karma's pics with that satin sheen.

You can see the shine from the website on the gen so bezel is indeed spot on with these.

Mine just arrived! Not taken it out of the loads of shrink wrap its covered in yet but looks great and the sweep looks fine to me. Yep it's low beat, but the gen ain't high beat anyway so it being 6 beats a second rather than the gen's 7 is a non issue especially as the movement itself is pretty much bullet proof

The gens I've saw in video are jerky too so not too fussed about that.

 

Maybe it's just me being cynical, but I do think it somewhat strange that a manufacturer would deliberately make a whole new movement less smooth-sweeping - it's almost as if they know that 7 beats a second will be difficult/impossible to rep, almost as if they are getting worried about how good and indistinguishable the reps really are now... :Whistle:

 

 

Heading to an AD tomorrow to try one..... my standard operating procedure before a rep order!

 

Have they been released yet

 

Tried the gen, but it didn't do it for me. It's now off my want list :(

Thats a shame, atleast you didnt unload $$$$$ on the rep

Aren't you supposed to do it the other way round, buy a rep to see if you'd like a gen? :lol: lol
