We will see the ss version with the PVD coating that should fake the look of forged carbon (FC).
I researched myself for a similar way to achive the look and feel....but beside using a plastic case, ss PVD coat was the only option.
Anyway, the platinum and gold version are both much easier to do as they only use the crown-guards in FC, the rest is Titanium, Platinum, Gold.
.... mmh, so lets wait and see the outcome.
IF the factory really took 6 months to develop this watch, I expect they won´t release it half-ready or only 90% accurate
