As you may have noticed, we we're offline this morning. This was caused by the "Thanks" plug-in going rogue and using up way too many server resources. This triggered an automatic suspension by our hosting provider as they thought it was a malicious attack. The "Thanks" plug-in has been disabled, hopefully temporarily so I can determine if that was indeed the cause, and take steps to prevent it from happening in the future.

I apologize for the disruption and for any confusion that may have caused.

Getting to really like my Lip Mach 2000 a lot! Not pictured but also a great watch to wear while driving, blends in well with the dash.

Here's mine. How do you like it so far?

My bezel is about 1/4 sec off with some back play. How's yours doing?Image

No back play on the bezel. It's actually a little too tight for my liking. There's a slight misalignment, maybe a 1/4 second like yours. I also noticed that the tan markers in the bezel insert are translucent, so what I assume is the structure of the bezel underneath makes the markers appear darker in spots.

Still happy with it though. When the outer ring of the dial catches the sunlight just right, it's really stunning. It wears well on my 6.5" wrist. Today I'll try the bracelet quick release and track the timing.

I've been lusting over this! A bit worried about Yema's QC and whether I'll like it as much when I get it (happened with my Christopher Ward C65 GMT. Wanted it so badly but was underwhelmed when I finally got it. I still like it, but i don't love it).

I know what you mean. I was torn between the Yema and an Oris 65. I've heard bad things about their QC too but I figured that since it runs on a Sellita 200, I can always have the movement serviced elsewhere (not sure if I would've pulled the trigger if it had their in-house movement). Luckily, my watch doesn't have any weird misalignment or something else. I really like it so far, wears a lot like a CW 65 case. My only complaint would be the bracelet, more specifically the clasp. It works fine and all but I would have liked to see a bit more thought go into it.
