Well I just picked mine up and I was really amazed how light weight it is, I'm very much like this watch,I will do more flaw to flaw nit picky stuff soon but out of the box it has the wire David I was expecting and from when I git tracking confirmation to my for was very fast her are some quick pics when I opened it up at the post office,I couldn't wait till I git home lol

Btw this one definitely needs double ar, easy to much glare on the Crystal and Cyclops

Enjoy

other than the ar, that bugs me is the lume on the bezel should match the dial lume, it's weird they used something similar to c3 SL on the bezel numbers but they used c1 on the dial/just like what's on the diver 3.5 dial? Meaning bezel numbers are not as white as the indices in the dial
Case back isn't perfect but that doesn't bother me or warrant me to buy a watch to get a little better cb but still not perfect, just my 2 cents

I can honestly say I have not had a gen in my hand in this model,I have a buddy that is a broker that has one so hopefully I can get up with him soon, I'm not sure how to tell carbon fiber in a watch case this small is forged or not but I can say its carbon fiber , even if molded pressed it has a delightful light weight feel that has me happy, the pattern is pretty much on par with the hundreds of gen pics I've seen, I've always been partial to ti watches and this is lighter than most I have, the only 2 modds I'm gonna do is relume it, argh and double ar coat it but this week I'm gonna wear it everyday and enjoy the long awaited watch lol

The bezel is so perfect number wise, I'm almost thinking the black background in the bezel might have darkened that lume to make the color slightly differ, cause it wouldn't make sense for the Chinese to do extra work to use 2 different lumes imho, or it could be the Crystal,I will find out soon

Read Edge's review of the watch. It is NOT Forged Carbon.

I did and I still am not sure, pressed cf is basically the same strength and appearance wise imo, forge may be better in race car rims but I'm not sure it matters in this case

Has anyone seen this in there hands in gen, is the case dinner black or dull or in between?

Not sure you need to be concerned about the case and manufacturing process, looks like forged/pressed carbon is the same thing, mixed micro carbon fibers and resin, bonded into moulds and shapes.....
