Just got mine, 4 days ahead of schedule too. I'm very impressed, the pencil feels satisfyingly heavy, every part is solid and well machined, and the black coating feels very durable.
CharlesLike Charles, I got mine a few days ahead of schedule. I love the feeling of this pencil. It has a nice heft to it while also being pretty balanced for writing. I also got the black version, and the coating seems durable.
