Hey Guys, it arrived in a carboard box with a Styrofoam box and bubble wrap and Ziploc bag. So far, I love it to death! I feel like they took care of alot of stuff we complain about, and comparing it to the gen in this video, I feel it is very gen looking, https://youtu.be/faTFFSsOJ7o

Sizing the bracelet was easy but I did not expect this rod in sleeve system and almost lost a sleeve. I am very impressed with the level of precision that went into this watch. I tested the waterproofness by washing it with soap and water and putting it in a sink full of sudsy water, and the next day I showered with it.

There were some sharp edges of the bracelet that was a bit less than fully comfortable, but I took care of that with some 2000 grip sandpaper.

This watch is SO THIN it is amazing! and compared to quartz clock on my wall, it is keeping excellent time!

even if the movement breaks tomorrow, it was still a good buy for the precision of case and bracelet alone, my god, 600 bucks- ish, can NEVER buy anything like this in the gen market. I do see some flaws of course, but I am happy with it even if! :)

Also, just saying: I ordered the blue because the green just isn't me, I have a homage in green and it just didn't go with my clothes except for my green pants. the blue goes better imho.

I don’t think it is. Doesn’t the new upgraded v2 have a gen like (or closer) DW? This one is similar to the v1 and v2 (I have a v2 in RG and it is very similar, not to say exactly the same)

DW font size got a bit bigger, but IMHO still looks pretty awful, e.g font style is wrong. Hence why I'm getting Legend to build me one.

The date font does looks thicker than the v2 I bought m2m recently.
