the ceramic looks good.

Just a question to all ceramic owners do that really crack that easily with a knock?

I'm really digging this one. I love black pams but the 029 just aint right for a righty like me. Hopefully the dial is correct.

the color of the inscriptions seems to be the correct off white color, of course we wouldhave to wait and see actual live pics of it first

Looks like the crown tube is much better than the Noob 292J -- one of the big issues for me is the length of that tube and this one looks pretty decent.

On the cracking, I've had no issues with my 438 -- its a freight train. I've had 3 292J's and two of them broke. One at the crown tube hole (which is the weakest part and the easiest to hit if you're prone to knocking the crown on something) and another on a corner lug. Both were admittedly my fault for being careless, but it can happen.

Could be an interesting test to see if the ceramic material is the same on Noob versus KW/V6F? I have a broken Noob case to donate if someone wants to run the tests ...

When can we expect a full evaluation of this watch? I would be very grateful, waiting so long, don't want to make a wrong buy.

Since it's just been announced you could probably guess as well as anyone else.

the point is that there are people out there who can get the watches even before the dealer puts them online for sale. so it's quite possible to find someone evaluating the watch "right now".

Really? I've been snooping around this forum daily for the last few years and never heard of that.
