Very nice! Perks of being so close and having a local dealer. Save just over 10% from what I paid not to mention expediency. Good for you!

Looks like I am the first to receive this baby! Few initial observations:
1. The blue is a bit darker than I expected, but miles better than PPF's.
2. Bracelet and clasps are very clean and pretty well made in rep world. Also quite tight, could use some break in. Same thing happened to my JF AP RO, got smoother after few months, so no worry there.
3. Movement looks pretty shiny and well made. Micro-rotor spins well. To 99.9% of people they wouldn't know this is a rep movement.
4. Threw in a gen for wristshot comparison, comfort wise it's nowhere near gen (like most of us expected). But for the money this is the one that you can't miss.

I know how you feel bro. It was torturing even just 3 days of shipping time.
2 more observations:
1. What concerned me the most was the moonphase disk gap, but surprisingly it wasn't noticeable in person (well this is a relatively small dial to begin with), I actually recalled about this issue after an hour or so with the watch on my wrist. You will have to purposely tilt it like 45 degrees to see it.
2. The rotor doesn't make funny noise like the PPF SW200 movement. All is silence now.

Congrats on the new piece and thanks for sharing some insight. I’m glad to see from your 3rd photo that the red does “pop” well on the date and PR. If possible, can you post some day-light photos? I’m interested in seeing the different dynamics of the dials color.
