Fantastic piece. Comfortable on the wrist. Shall try the nylon strap tonight.

Hey guys, I'm still very new to the game and I was wondering if anybody could confirm if you actually wind this piece clockwise or anticlockwise? I've not really played with it (luckily it just runs without winding) but from the sound it makes I'm not sure, there's more of a clicking anti clockwise. Also, there's no quick set of the date? I had to spin the hour hand around until I got the wanted date initially.

Very excited to snag one of these from a member here in the sales section. I won't have it for about a week or so, coming from the other side of the globe.
A buddy of mine sent me a photo of the gen on his wrist in the AD and the markers look white, but its all going to be due to lighting, so with that said, I am not worried about them markers in the rep at all. I just hope this will wear better than the 372 and 382, they are both so heavy. I will upload some photos when mine arrives.

Well, mine turned up today. This was a rep that I wasn't as excited about receiving as normal - I hadn't bothered to check tracking, when it did finally arrive I didn't immediately rip the box open in a frenzy like normal - all because it wasn't a rep I was sure I'd love. I had a feeling I'd be C&Ring it in fact because I wasn't sure it was quite me. WRONG!!!! I love this watch! It perhaps doesn't suit me all that much with my weedy, pale wrists, but fuck that! I'm rocking this badboy regardless!

The thing is gorgeous; the dial is great as everyone says, but the feel of it is awesome too, both in terms of the case being wonderfully tactile and because the watch is really comfy and light on the wrist. It's an awesome watch, a keeper for sure.

Have any owners tried pressure testing these out of the box? I'd love to know if it was able to be made waterproof. It seems so light and delicate, I almost can't imagine it would be - though I'm sure the Gen feels similar and that's good for 300m so it would be awesome if this could get to at least 5 or 6atm. Anyone?

i have no idea on carbotech but all my steel/titanium/bronze luminor pams with greased caseback and crown gaskets have never failed me in the water. Design seems to me quite waterborne

I'm definitely itching for this despite it's size, that dial is killer
