 Mine is running about -19sec/day so far.  I have an Enzo strap coming, very thick that should handle that chunky head pretty well.  Actually I was surprised how well the silicone strap held it in place on my wrist.   Was a little surprised at the slightly less then LM-1 lume - but I like the white C1 against the blue dial. It works for me, but would love to see how the C3 looks, so get those pics posted soon Colin... ;)

My only aesthetic issue is with semi-skeleton hands on such a solid watch: they look a bit out of place. I'd love to see this watch with a set of Yao plongeurs and may make that move. Since I'm not a fan of tipped seconds, that makes triple sense for me.

The dial on mine was done in C-3, so it lacks the stark white-on-blue of the production models (C-1) that looks so good. The blue anodised dial is very nice, looking dark blue from straight on in room light and much lighter outside or in reflection. The case is not the most beautiful or unique, but it is very well done. Mitch set a goal of producing a case suitable for a multi-$K watch and he's succeeded.

Pics to follow once I can get it off the wrist!
