Got mine yesterday and my wife just took it away from me....
My feeling is

• Moderate
  • Bezel thickness : Actually not , if you are not try to make it personal..
  • Protruding crown : Yes it is, should be considered on V2
  • Uneven twelve o'clock markers : I'm lucky and nitpick with the TD so it's pretty straight
  • Occasionally misaligned datewheel : A little but not a big deal and for 46 of age, my eyesight wasn't that great (Not even bother change DW modify)
  • Incorrect movement (duh) : Not compare to GEN but better than other in the market for now..
• Low
  • Logo font : Yes a little thicker would be amazing
  • Print quality : Agree
  • Unfinished inner edges around the date window : Like OP said , Devils in the detail..
  • 12 o'clock markers on mine reflect light differently and look like a mismatch : My wife took it from me so.. later i'll know
  • Imperfect lume : Don't know yet
  • Other small imperfections (e.g. dust, scratch) on either dial or movement : a week with it would be seen more
• Feel
  • Some sharp edges inside the bracelet : a little and I preferred PF bracelet, PPF feel flimsy or may be it just thinner
  • Bracelet clasp -- it's a battle trying to get this to open : Absolutely... same experience
  • Crown is rough to wind : Me too and i think it is 9015 character.. I don't think clean & oil will help much as i did with my PF before.

Initial impression:

• It's a high quality rep that seems to accurately capture the essence of gen design. Yeah..
• For the price, however, I wish the QC was better out of factory. If you read the megathread on PPF Nautilus, nearly every QC photo has either misaligned markers at 12 o'clock and/or incorrectly shaped markers at 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, or 11 o'clock positions.Yep
• Bracelet clasp is a huge pain to open. I expect this to be the first point of failure. If you know of a way to open this more gracefully, please let me know! On the same page
• Regardless or quality issues or tells, its a beautiful watch. It won't be this beauty if it is not from the picture you taken.

thanks for this!

What a wonderful review and such great photos! would you mind sending / commenting with the link to the specific watch? I notice dealers sometimes change their website and I want to make sure I order the correct watch!
