Hope they release soon the heavy version

Wow, this is something new in my eyes.

Mine took a month to get. Nothing special to report. Been on a bit of a AR craze so I wonder if Deep would fit and which model crystal to use.

Bracelet is a bit sharp and some of the pins are quite tight in the bracelet.

Otherwise like others have said, it's a marvel. Def want another one or two. Wouldnt be opposed to a 11.59 with this movement variant either.

this looks nice; is the light blue sunburst tinge in outdoor lighting very noticeable?

Ive sent whole ass watches to Prof. No issues but they will likely come back no longer water resistant due to the crystal change. Just something to be mindful of.

Also, purple dial not getting enough love here…
I still can’t put this thing down.

The purple dial reminds me of A Pimp Named Slickback...

Ok. I don’t want to alarm anyone.
But the power ran out today. Maybe it was due to my less active lifestyle over the past few says.

Rotor works and powers it up. Manual winding also works.

But can any experts weigh in if there is any possibility that the rotor would fail to charge the main spring at after 20% charge (possibly due to the added resistance ?)

Had mine for 24 hours now. Sized it - needed to remove 2 links - this was annoying as I wanted to remove one link from each side but one of the pins was basically stuck so had to remove 2 links from one side and one from the other and then put one back to even it out. Mine is the one with the updated rotor and it is a beautiful watch, even the wife commented she liked it which is good. My only complaint is the rotor is a little noisy. I am unsure if a service will fix this or if it's even supposed to be noisy but it can be heard in a quiet room when moving your wrist. I will definitely be getting the ceramic when they figure out how to fix the bracelet.

I had an insane time sizing my bracelet too. Some pins came out easily (on the side I didn’t need to remove links from) but the other side they were stuck like hell. I snapped the tip off my Bergeron 6767 trying to poke one pin out.

Enjoy your new watch! Mine doesn’t seem to have any rotor noise issues.

Hopefully it was worth the wait! Mine took ages too. Since it’s arrived, I haven’t felt the urge to buy anything new… which is rare for me. I kind of want a gold one now… but it’d be really
Over the top to wear one to the next parent teacher meeting.

There's a smoked blue version I'm wondering if they'll rep. GOTTA COLLECT THEM ALL!

In regular lighting the dial dulls down a little bit but in sunligjt it is beauyifuk

Yes same experience. I had to use one of the pin and hammer tools to knock some pins out of the bracelet

Its already been discussed before there are many autowind problems with these AP movements. Wind the watch a little until it runs. Put it on a winder at 900 TPD and see if the watch continues to run after a day or so. If it doesnt your autowind doesnt work.

Yes 4308 had same issue and was resolved with servicing. The thing is if there is too much friction aka watch movement is dry the rotor doesnt charge the movement enough because of the added resistance! Especially if autowind and mainspring dry

Last of all people underestimate how much they geniunely move their hand during the day, especially for office job. If you work office job just throw watch on a winder when you get home and let it run overnight. My dad had the similar issue and with a 35 dollar winder no longer any PR issues
