You should try having Topper local to you. I think I'm up to 10 or 11 watches purchased there, it's madness. On the flip side, it's nice to have a place local to trade in stuff. Looking forward to the reveal...

Congratulations! That's a keeper. I always liked the "peanut butter cup" HRV on those.

How's your bezel? I pretty much can't turn mine, it's so tight.
If you put a large switch in some cave somewhere, with a sign on it saying 'End-of-the-World Switch. PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH', the paint wouldn't even have time to dry.

Just got a birthday milestone watch from them this past week. Always a great experience.

I’ve always found that to be the case, surely because of the lack of bezel edge knurling.

The bezel on my Blake was very stiff when I got it. I ran it under water and turned it regularly- that helped a lot. But, there’s not a lot of purchase area on the bezel as others have mentioned. Probably my least satisfying bezel, but one of the better looking watches I’ve ever owned.

Topper is awesome. I've bought a couple of G-Shocks from them and even with only spending $400-$600 they treat you like royalty.

I found my original Bond 2531.80 to be that way too. The low profile bezel is awesome, but hard to grip. It would actually be beneficial to have a little less bezel resistance.
