So I received the watch at last.
First impression is
very positive and the finish and feel of the watch is great. The smooth as silk brushing, mirror sharp polishing and precisely executed case all witness of true craftmanship. Winds and runs neat as well.
The lugs are smooth and there's no sharp edges. The edges of the lugs base have been cut slightly angled, which helps prevent just this. Bezel is polished and the domed crystal sits a fraction of a millimeter above the bezels top rim, all in order. As previously mentioned, even the black dial with black dw has this polished bezel, which is a nice details if you'd ask me. However not gen-spec.
Datewheel is centered, printing is crisp and the window has this recessed inner box cut with no imperfections. Crown is improved and beveled on the inside where the crown meets the tube, which is also an improvement from the first page comparison. The details of the crown are very fine and correct, but I'd have to take some macros to really be able to tell. Hands are fine and sharp, but the lume's kind of "meh".
The bracelet however, does not really convince me... although fine brushing and polishing as well as having smooth rounded edges, did not live up to the fine quality of watch head itself. The resizing buttons on the outer links easily gets stuck in depressed state, even though I gave the bracelet a good soak in dry lube. The fine adjustment feature does run smooth though.
All considered, I very much recommend others to go for it. I'd still get it on bracelet despite the minor shortcomings.
