Mine arrived last week, well ahead of schedule. I went for the blue on blue with gold accents and blue rubber strap. It is a real looker. My only negatives are the very weak lume. The hands are fine, but the lume on the indices is practically non-existent, I guess I'm too used to Seiko lume.
I guess I'm also used to 120 click bezels. I find this 60 clicker a bit rough with a bit of slack, but it's a great looking bezel. All in all I'm very pleased with it, especially at the Massdrop price. It only cost me $36 Can in extra taxes and duty delivered to Vancouver BC. Now waiting anxiously for the Airman to arrive.
I have exactly the same impressions with blue/gold 3863.38B6.D8. The lume is pretty weak on indices, though my Glycine Combat 6 dial has about the same luminosity. I guess both watches use somewhat weak green Luminova C1 lume on dials while the hands on both are very bright (they use Luminova C2 on all hands according to Glycine specs). White Luminova C1 lume on my Golden Eye indices is brighter and the hands lume is about the same as on blue/gold 3863.38B6.D8 version.
