Got my factory 2nd SS in. Only blemish is a mark on the very bottom everything else is flawless. Really not a big deal as I will hardly ever even see it. I had a feeling when ordering that it would be a little more obvious of a blemish compared to my previous Al factory 2nd. Worth it to skip the line and get it a little cheaper.

How long ago was the SS factory second available? I've been keeping an eye on it for a while now.

I ordered it April 15th. I don’t think they pop up very often and go really fast when they do. I just got lucky.

$50(CAD) postage is what turned me off. I know it's a heavy grinder, but that's a really prohibitive shipping cost, I could get another OMD for that price.
I did the same thing twice. But then I look at that ugly bottom. I'll wait for the gem cut bottom and pay full price I guess.

ditto, I'd love to see the gem cut wrap around the side of the top and bottom to give better grip to chew thru dense sticky nugs! makes me lean towards an Aroma3
I believe the non-SS BCGs still have the gem cut on both sides. I remember they talked about changing that but I don't think they did. All 3 of mine have the brilliant cut bottoms and it is ergonomically great.

Feel like I’m winnin’ when I’m losin’ again
Yeah, I think there was a customer backlash. I know I grabbed a couple more seconds with the faceted bottom as I stated I did not intend to buy one without. I’m sure that the flat bottom would significantly reduce processing time and effort, and might have a nice impact on price, but the faceted aluminum surface just feels so good in your hand, it really is worth the price and effort IMO.

1. Thanks for the heads upPlease enjoy this little test of your convictions!
(Personally, I'm still waiting for the faceted bottom to drop. Matte's fine.)
2. I hate you, because you made me buy one

I'm in Spain and mine took around 35 days to arrive, although this is also partly due to the incompetent and wholly dishonest Spanish customs authorities that calculate everything precisely and then put another random €20 on for good measure!! Robbing bastards!

Sounds like something German customs is also going to do...
