Ok Phorcydes, all is forgiven.
The PH4-A arrived today after a month and 3 days. Im very impressed with it considering the price point. I ordered the the leather strap version as I found the bracelet too ornate for my tastes. It's currently sitting on a bracelet that I've had in a draw for a while.
The crown is signed, the case is smoothly beveled, the crystal is top notch and very clear. I've been wearing it for just over 10 hours and the ST movement is currently performing well. I gave it 2 or 3 rotations of the crown to get it started and it's currently running at around +1 so probably +3s/d. The movement winds very much the same as a PT5000 with a firm resistance when winding.
The bezel is a hair off centre but nothing I can't live with, the bezel action is not my favourite, it has a quite hollow click to it but there is very minimal back play. The lume is great (I went for single blue), but everyone knows that already. They did include and extra brown strap along with the black, both are reasonable quality and are real leather, they both smell like leather. All in all I'm happy.
Well done Phorcydes, it's a great watch. I know Phorcydes had trouble getting this one out to customers and I can understand why with all the movement changes and other things but in future I'd like to see them be a little more upfront about delays, production times etc. Good luck to everyone who has one on the way.
