Congrats on the All-Blue SRP773K1 Oscar! 
I received the same version yesterday, but unfortunately it arrived DOA. (Movement will not run, so unfortunately I'm working on exchanging it instead of wearing it)...I'm bummed.

It arrived DOA? Chris that's terrible! 
well my 779 is running with a beat error of 1.0
I figured I would let it break in or rattle apart whichever comes first before I adjust it  On the plus side it is running...
I've got a hacking handwinding SRP monster if you need a "loaner" in the meantime
back on the tudor for me today...
I have to go show it off to my friends at work who I have trained to go "Oooh Ahhh" very insincerely when I show up with a new watch...

Thanks Chris....This is my first Zixen and I'm very pleased. Great watch at a great price. If you ordered by JAn. 10 you got the mesh free which is a nice bonus. Fit and finish is the best of all my micro brands. Lumen is really good, well balanced on the wrist for the size. After 6hrs hrs of wear its spot on but I'm not a nut about accuracy. I'll be happy with +/- 10 sec a day....I love it so much I may get another model from Zixen...

 Looks great Oscar. I'm going to wait and see if they come down after on the market for awhile. I like the Pepsi and would love to see a double dome on that.....

Thanks Chris (and Greg to answer your question this one came from watches88). The watch timesetting all worked fine and I even gave it several hand winds to make sure the movement was wound and it wound very smoothly with no ill mechanical roughness or hiccups at all, but when I push the crown back in, no seconds hand movement and no advancement of time at all...completely dead. I've also got a pepsi version incoming from hochuanwatch, so hopefully that one arrives safely. (Interesting regarding the beat error of 1.0 on yours!!!)
Thanks for the offer of a loaner SRP Monster!!! but, I'll be ok....
Love that TUDOR by the way!!! Such a clean and pure design...just awesome!

Thanks for the extra details Greg! These look really nice.
Both Phil's PVD/Orange and your SS/BLACK versions look just plain HOT in my opinion!
The look comfortable on the wrist too! Can you guys tell me what the official Lug-to-Lug length on this one is??? (I was thinking 52mm or so based on some early comments).
Again, congrats!

using my scale at the office it measures 2.125" pinbar to pinbar so its around 54mm. It lays on the wrist very nicely.....

Due to the thickness of only 14.5mm the watch really sits stable on my wrist.
But all in all a big watch.

Thanks Greg (and Phil) for the comments on the lug length! It's a big one for sure, but does seem to rest comfortably on the wrist.
