I hope this means there will be a fresh batch of aquatimers with ratchet bezel.

Andrew will you have updated pictures on your site?

..are they releasing the bronze version of this? Same case design. What are dimensions of strap? Does it fit 6.5 inch wrist?

Looks good. A couple of negatives:
-3 O'Clock marker has bit much lume compared to gen but that might be fixable.. <-Looked at a few more gens...seems like there are variations so not a problem.
-4 font inside is a bit too triangular I think

But at 2% of the cost, I'll take it.

the Gen looks like a Rep concerning lume/font thickness (okay this is the Jaques Cousteau version)
only the 15 has lume, therefore 30 & 45 are thinner...

Why not just use the Sharks version? Look at the gen 4 and the rep 4. You can its pretty close overall, that's pretty much the only flaw at a quick glance, a bit of a shame that a simple thing like that wasn't picked up when they did a great job on the dial. It's as if they're reusing the inner bezel ring from the older rep. The lume marker at 3 is a bit thicker but I've seen a version that is kinda similar to the rep and it's an easy fix I think.

And I don't get why they got those things wrong too, they had the correct font in an older version:
