Finally got mine. I ordered pretty early on in early Jan and got caught up in both CNY and then seized in customs. I posted this over on RWG while waiting for this site to return so I am just reposting what I posted there. BTW, I am still interested in a Pro 111 bracelet, but I am not willing to pay through the nose for it. I like it on the Bakeka and will just wear it that way unless I can get a good bracelet for a reasonable price. Even then, I still like the watch on the strap and may keep it there much of the time.
Ok, not really much of a review, but I will post a bunch of pics so you guys can see how nice this watch is. I had a brand new Bakeka waiting for this one and I was in such a hurry to take it off the rep rubber that I didn't even take pics of it that way. My Bakeka strap is a bit tight on the lugs so it was a bit of a challenge to change. For that reason I'm not going to change back (at least right away) for a pic of the crappy rep rubber that you can see in many other pics.
Everything about this watch seems really nice. Movement sweeps nicely, date and time change smoothly and Date clicks over @ about 12:15 so no real complaint there. I have had it for less than a day so I'm not 100% sure but it seems to be running about 12-15 sec fast right now, no biggie. I have 7.5" wrist and after wearing a Pam 111 for the last month or so this thing seems very reasonably sized and very wearable. I measure it at exactly 15mm thick and 44mm in Dia.
