So let's see... Where to start? 1st of all, this is Pic heavy with full size images so sorry if it takes too long to load.
I haven't had this watch long. Today is the 2nd day and it's been busy and cloudy so I haven't had much time to think about it or take good pics of it. I will say that I'm trying hard to like this watch. I really am but I'm not sure how I feel about it yet.
The case material - especially the texture, it looks almost like it is 3d printed but it feels more like ceramica instead of Carbotech but it is light. But it's closer to Carbotech then it is ceremica because you can see how it's layered when you look up close. (I suppose similar to the way something might be 3d printed).
The dial looks nice but it lacks the character that I've come to love these models for. Like the 1118 and 1661. Those dials come to life in different lights. But this dial has a lot more character to it in its base form.
As far as the engravings on the crown guard, I think they might be etched a little too deep and it's just a shadow but when you look at it with the naked eye, it doesn't look nearly as dark as it does in certain pictures. You almost don't really see it when you look at it but when you take a picture it just looks more like a shadow than black engravings. Although the engravings dont look as clean as you'd expect.
Here you can see how it's not that dark but you can also see it not that finely engraved.
The white you mentioned around the date window might be a reflection of the date. I haven't changed dates but it looks like the white reflection of the 14 on the edge of the 2 pieces of the dial. There might be a little white lume eeking through I can't tell yet.
Here you can see it in a few different lighing Conditions. But I will break out the magnification scope and get pics up much closer later.
Here are just some general pics of details you asked about.
Also it is pretty light at 95 grams.
