Heres mine. Looks great, runs great. Power reserve was more than 60hrs. Unfortunately need some urgent funds and will be posting it up on the sales section soon.

Is this VSF or MKS?

can someone clarify on the lollipop hand defect? looks amazing though, annoying they had to put the TM on the clasp

Lollipop hand shows a tiny bit of leftover material on the top, probably from where it was attached during the casting

Yeah, that’s what I thought as well. Why would sell it after one day on your wrist?

Lots of flippers around here, happened the same thing with the new SOH II and I can attest it's an amazing watch

There’s a lot of serial flippers in this hobby... the watch looks great overall and the issue with the second hand is so tiny that unless it is pointed out in highly zoomed pics no one will ever know

I guess is because the "lollipop hand issue"?

Lol. You can’t even see the lollipop hand issue on a static hand let alone on a ticking seconds hand.

The spec on the lollipop hand is a non issue.

The thin bezel ring bothers me. Makes the aesthetic look incorrect.

I sold it because a franken 16613 cost a lot of $$ and price arent in the good direction for me !
But it's sure i will take another one soon.

The case/feeling/quality are very good, and the bezel is perfect for travel/works with a second hour and without taking any risk for the movement.

As said mech500 the lollipop issue dont exist in real ! it's only if you stop the movement and do a macro shot.

People talk about the tip of the lollipop and yet they miss the other imperfection.

of course it probably measures at least a few hundredths of an inch, but definitely a tell!

marco130 the gen actually on C24 are at 8500€, 22x the rep price.
You can search for tell on the rep with a macro shot x20 but it's definitively a good rep
