Updates!!!! Look how the dial markers have to curve to match the dome of the dial.

on close inspection on mine, it looks like the center is indeed flat, but the domed curve starts in the middle of the area of the markers, meaning that the 3,6,9 and 12 markers are curved to fit this curved dial.
obviously, it could be the dome crystal makinig an illusion, but the dial reflections show me that the dial curves from venter of the square markers, which makes it necessary for the markers to be bend too.....

That was my conclution too bonesey :)
Looks like this will be the best rep in history...

I agree this is one heck of a fine looking.piece. They are nailing down each element. We still need to see the bracelet and clasp. The bracelet shouldn't be a big deal to rep, but getting the feel of the clasp right will be a challenge. The gen clasp is super smooth. Angus does, however, say that the clasp will have gen construction and use ceramic bearing instead of spring bars. I am really optimistic that this can be a winner. That said, there have been plenty of watches with great looking previews of components, but the finished product suffered from poor build quality, misaligned markers and other flaws. Fingers crossed this is not the case here.

Sweet! Mines in hk post, so it'll probably be a while. But you can't beat the price.

I'm gonna try to find a sapphire for it when I get it. Might be a keeper.

I keep checking this thread every couple of hours waiting for any new pics or info. Impatience is a very bad thing when it comes to the Rep game :(
