I'm terribly sorry for multiple posts, but I'm on my phone and I just couldn't stick more than one link in a single post.
I have a tiny 0.5mm nick on the bezel, but I didn't notice that in my QC...bloody hell..
Oh, the strap is superb!!

Buddy, your watch is stunning! It really is gorgeous, thank you for sharing some pics. I ordered mine yesterday and am eagerly waiting for my QC pics. Your pics justified my decision :) And comparing it to some gen pics, it looks pretty spot on!

I can't see anything wrong w it, wear it in good health my friend.

By the way, are you referring to the leather strap or the nato one, I heard that the new nato one is really nice but how about the leather one?

[MENTION=132319]zethunder[/MENTION] : Thanks man, it really is a well made watch. I've never had a bronze watch or a watch with a brown bezel or dial and I feel like I'm not a person who can handle so much brown at once :)
There's nothing really wrong with it, there's just a tiny nick on the bezel a bit over 45 marker. But it's not visible from an arm's length.
The strap I'm referring to is leather. I have Wotancraft, Corrigia and Simona, so I know what a good strap feels like. And this one is not bad at all. Nice touch with the fabric on the inside. The nato is also great, but I think it's ugly ( color ), so I won't be using it. The bezel does have a little back play, but it's not a rattly one! It feels good, but not DSSD good. Tell your TD to get you one with a firm bezel, they can pick one out for you! I hope you get yours soon :)

Firm bezel with no play is like a unicorn in rep world...I am yet to receive one no matter how many times I ask my TD. I am trying another TD for this order and even he tells me that he can't fix factory based problems like bezel play lol

I think it is a fantastic looking watch from every aspect. I have the v1 and I love it but am ready for this upgrade :)

Yeah, I know :) But after I tried the Blancpain FF and the Noob DSSD, I know it's possible and that there's still hope :D
I'll put mine on M2M in a couple of days I guess..It's great, but simply not my style. I think I'll get the regular red bezel BB instead.

I have the bb red and it is gorgeous (also has play in its bezel tho...smh). It is so pretty (to my eyes at least) that I wanted to buy another one as a spare lol

Can you pics some pics of the NATO if you don't mind? What are your thoughts about it (I know you said that the color is not your favorite but how about the quality...the previous one was crap..to put it lightly)

It's soft and well made without any funny smells.

Thank you buddy (and sorry for the late reply!) - I pulled the trigger on a kw v3 as well. You said the leather strap was pretty good right? Did you have he V1? I have a V1 and the leather strap was not all that great at all.
