Received one a few weeks ago and I can confirm all of the OPs points, amazing rep! Regarding the terrible bezel action, does anyone know what could be done to make it crisper and less sandy (best description I can come up with)?
Put some longer springs in the spring hole. These are too long, snip them at a height higher than the stock ones.
