Just saw the newly released 384 last night on Ken's site - anyone got it yet? Or anyone have any opinions based on pics etc?

I had a brief look last night and it looks good pretty good specially with a working PR....

A working PR would be very very nice. But seeing the movement behind the PR slot is not so nice.

Awful. I agree with Chris.
And there's a pusher in the case to quick change the date that should not be there :facepalm:

One step closer, another couple back. Its still a pretty big deal to have the PR function properly (if it does). Could be a sign of good things to come!

To summarize

- Inaccurate pusher to change the date
- Placement of PR indicator clearly higher than gen
- Visible movement through the PR indicator slot
- Lume too much darker and brownish than gen
- Date window is placed inwards
- Date fonts are inaccurate and bolder
- Of course the movement is inaccurate and real PR is about 40 hrs. (instead of 8 days)
- Hands and CP are accurate leaving aside lume colour
- Nice and accurate ceramic case with a bit squared edges and corners of cushion shape
- Caseback is accurate enough

A sad waste of a nice ceramic case IMO
