Looks like they updated the subdial hands. The first couple of photos I saw they hadn’t painted the hand tube tops, now the hands are completely black like the gen
I’ve also been waiting since December so hopefully they are available soon

the hour and min hands look black and orange, instead of polished and orange. is this just the angle of the reflection?

Looks to just be angles and lighting - in the gen vs rep they are polished like gen.
And yes it’s nice the sub dial hands have been updated.

I also prefer the zorro because it's more minimal. Also we know by experience of the milgauss that factories will never get that type of lighting hand right.

I'd be all over a rep of the Deus model. It's a beauty.

Anyone have a picture of the movement. I wonder if it is engraved.
I’ll pop the case back when mine arrives
Thatwatchguy if you could share your thoughts and pictures when your arrives, im on the fence about pulling the trigger on this one.
^ What he said, plus: the modified a7750 is (1 layer) thicker than a ETA7753 due to extra transfer gear from 12 o'clock to 3 o'clock position. So, in rep case, stem hole is slightly further away from the dial, compared to gen. If you drop a ETA7753 into the rep case, I expect the dial will not sit firmly, maybe a bit sunken at the 3 o'clock position.
My Toptime is due to arrive tomorrow. If I really like it upon opening and want to invest further in it, I will send it straight off to my watchmaker to have a go. Worst case, it's a no, and I will have to sell the movement.
In the best-case scenario, he will know a trick or two to get it to work, and then I have a unique piece.
