I paid 378 for my preorder. I believe they just took the price from the Spectre, though, so not sure whether this will remain the final price once the new watch is listed for regular orders.

This is so half-assed effort. Bi-directional bezel and movement from spectre... They've just swapped bezel and caseback...

Less keen on this after seeing a couple of videos. Hopefully a updated V2 in the future

Yes, diver watches are uni directional bezel.
Thanks for the reply. Seen a couple of videos where the bezel clearly goes both ways which is confusing :unsure: unless there's been some poor QC on the first releases

Wow, dial of the Summer Blue looks much better than on any other photo or video I have seen so far, including the QC pics I received for my preorder. Either the TD use smartphones with terrible noise reduction processing that smoothens the dial too much, or there this is a new batch with an improved dial?
I really do hope, that my watch will look like the one on your photos. It's hasn't even shipped, though, probably because of the holidays in China this week.

Puretimes' photos of the Summer Blue dial look very gen-like.
My watch has been shipped already, but with TOW it's going to be 3-4 weeks until I receive it. I do hope, that the watch will look more like on PT's photos than on my QC photos 😂

The Blue dial seems well made, better than I expected. The black one seems good too. The 2 flaws that bother me at the moment are, the wrong bracelet and the numbers on the bezel that are not lumed

Right, they should have lume on the black one (not on the Summer Blue, though).

The numbers on the bezel of the black one should be lumed and not only the numbers of the dial. Instead the numbers on the bezel of the blue one are not lumed in the gen as @chrisat correctly observed
