That's very nice. How do you find the thickness? Not sure how it compares to the gen.

Lovely watch either way, wear it well :)

Very nice, I just got one too, the watch and the movement look great and seem to be high quality. One thing that disappointed me completely though is the crystal thickness... If you tap it with your fingernail, it sounds like it's very thin and makes a cheap clinky sound... Am I alone?

I don't notice the clinky sound when i tap on the crystal, and yes it is quite thin.

Is the rep really 12.5mm thick? I was told 11.2mm for the V1 and 11.5mm for the V2 (due to the new movement) 😩 Looking to buy one myself, that’s why I’m curious!
