Ended up ordering one from my usual dealer after a chunky discount and a free titanium bracelet made upgrading from my 51mm Epix Pro viable.
I contacted Garmin to confirm if the below model actually has DLC (as advertised all over the place) and got a confirmation. I wonder how Garmin pulled it off- in previous years, DLC meant that you get a carbon grey looking colour. Hopefully it ends up being as scratch resistant as my current watch.
