I'll second Shasta's comments on the crown. I got what I believe to be the same generation of watch from EL a few weeks ago. The crown is taller and I thought the date mag was a bit weak to be honest. The CGs on mine are still off...they seem to look better in the dealer's pictures..they all shoot lots of pics with the crown open. As far as I can tell, they have been moved off the crown, but are still a bit too curved, so they visually pinch in a bit much where the crown meets the case. It's with Joe for a trimming. I'm not obsessed with the dial, but I thought it was quite nice.
Again, that's from EL not Paul.
