I had one for a day. The dial has a nice texture. It's great that he didn't make it a gloss dial like most of the others. It's a nice light blue. The color is fun but can still be worn with most outfits without looking strange.

How the bezel action? Heard it was merely "good."

It seems like orange will be the least popular = most flippable once people realize it's the only rare one.

I had a gen 1 but he kept the same finish on all the versions. Unlikely that he'd change now.

I'm not a good judge of this. People are way more picky than I am. If it turns it's fine for me.

I had one from the first run. The color is really nice in person, but I overall found it a difficult watch to match with straps. I wasn't a huge fan of the leather strap that came on it, too thick/stiff.

I pre-ordered the pastel blue, fixed bezel, no date today. I think it will be fun and work well with gray and black straps, maybe olive too.

Bezel action is pretty good but the edges of the bezel were kind of sharp. Jason said he would fix that on the Series 2 and later models. He also said if anyone had an issue with the S1 version he would fix it for them.

Awesome! You can't beat Jason when it comes to customer service. :thumbsup:
