So I've always been a fan of Bernhardt watches, I never owned one but have always liked them and the reviews of them. I've had my eyes on a Corsair for sometime now but unfortunately they became sold out a while back and ever since then I've been searching the for sale add's on just about every forum for the right one and it seemed pay off.

Just came in today, I picked up #108/1000 which is blue with a black bezel, almost all Corsairs have silver bezels, but this one has black, I was told by the previous owner that someone custom ordered it this way then backed out at the last second and he was able to pick it up about a year ago.

As you can see in the pic's he didn't wear it much so its in pretty good (near perfect) shape.

Specs for those that don't know.

42mm without crown
ETA 2836-2 Movement
200M Water Resist.
Sapphire crystal
Solid End Links
Screw down crown
Screw in links
Decent lume (not the best)
And overall a pretty heavy solid watch

Some pics and a small comparison at the bottom















I figured I would compare it to these few watches since just about everyone has at least one of these, as you can see they are all around 42-44mm , surprisingly the Bernhardt seems to be the thickest of the bunch.






I'm also thinking about sending it back to Fred and having him put red or orange ploprof hands on it, other than that I'm very pleased with it and I'm glad i waited for one to come around.
