Winner here !
That was fast. I have waited at least 6 weeks in between order and QC pics for mine
Strange how yours is 6.99 and my watch is 7.17 maybe the calibers are not squees down all the way?
On the QC for mine, earlier in this thread, it was 7.12mm on the calipers pictured.
But I never actually checked myself with my own calipers on receipt. I will next week if you want.
Perhaps caliper tolerances, pressure applied and margins of error could account for the minute differences between yours and mine/his?
Either way, with the GEN SS variants 6.4mm, I think ~7mm is very good, as it's down from 9.2mm in previous iterations.
The GEN Ti version is 5.15mm afaik.
Might have pressed the callipers 
Can take more reading this weekend but it is a question of few mm

Any tips on resizing the bracelet? My watch is in transit and I don't want to scratch it all up when I get it.
If they are as hard to move as mine, you will need a bracelet pin pusher, a very thin screwdriver and a small hammer. Don’t hesitate to DM me
Is this watch (7mm version) really Titanium or Steel made to look Titanium? I saw it only weighed 81 grans.
My understanding is/was that it was brushed SS (made to look like Ti) but when my SS one weighs 107g with a couple of links out, and @Swiss_goupil's weighs 81g, I have no idea how they managed it.
It must feel super light on the wrist because at 107g its already awesome.
Not sure if any simple tests exist that can be conducted to check for Ti?
Separately, I finally got an answer back from my TD who supplied the below options for the 7mm range & said they are available presently.

I thought so too, but its made out of Titanium. The weight doesn't lie.
Cool, I tried out the older 'Titanium look' (9.2mm version), but it was a C&R for me, as I didn't bond with the colour when it was on my wrist. Surprisingly prefer the SS look, which was strange, different strokes for different folks. It does look very nice in the pics above.
Looks like it yeah, they snuck that into their advertising, front and centre eh, first time I've seen a factory do that.....not
It's the gen in the middle, yes.
Why have they choses to put the gen dial, and in the the most prominent place in the photo is something I don't know, but it doesn't seem a mistake
Also, I have received QC photos for the black and grey dials, and the hand colour is similar for both, and its a 'titanium color', more like the hands in the grey and blue dials in the photo, and darker than the bright stainless steel like the hands in the black dial in this photo.

The white is nice yeah, simple and crisp.
Black is really nice though.
Blue one actually just back from China and am checking the timekeeping for a few days (new movement). Looking forward to finally wearing it, nearly a year later.
Tried the older Titanium version thinking I'd love it, but for some reason didn't, can't explain why. The pictures above look amazing, so will see, maybe it was the weight and thickness.
It's such a sleek and slim watch, but the size, coupled with the thinness, gives it serious presence on the wrist.

Yes this watch is awsome super slim and super light I bought it from Jtime. I had to specifically tell them the 7mm version and make sure they measure it in the QC with callipers.
