Yes, about 18 months ago. Seagull about 2 months ago.

3 days usually means 3 days after Chinese New Year doesn't it? ;)

May be we should call it 3 rep lunar years lol

Looks nice!! The only two things i am unconvinced about are:

1) Distortion of the crystal
2) Bridges on the movement seem to have (I dont want to say poor) but not as nice finish as the noob ones did. But i may be wrong on this.

Incabloc and long MS screw is a nice touch though! Even the strap looks pretty decent.

Some distortion is there, but to be honest it's very difficult to photograph one of these without showing it (and I didn't try very hard not to either).

Strap is very nice.

Can't comment on the bridges. Never had a Noob in hand. Nothing about the case back has me upset, let's put it that way.

I'm no Boss but it looks nice, I will wait for the experts to chime in. New strap is always mandatory.

You could always get one from Hamilton, Gunny, Bond tailored straps... Hamilton has made me some great straps and really he can make nearly anything you ask for. $98 to $150 depending on what your looking for.

Any guesses as to when the expert review will come out on this thing now? And who do we think is going to be doing it?

I like it. :)

A few thoughts:

CG
Upper and bottom chamfer look slightly less pronounced than in noob.
Lever tip a bit too square.

CASEBACK

E0269/1950 - E is too close to numbers
Finish on the movement looks nice, maybe a little rough on the winding gears.
Y incabloc and longer micrometric screw are very welcome

FRONT

Crystal distortion looks to be fairly strong, I remember noob having inconsistencies as well in this regard.
Dial looks ok to me.
Lume portion on hands a bit too wide.
