The samples arrived.snoopy1.gif
The movements with the black date wheels will be deliverd in late January, so the blue and the black dial sample have a white date window.

     Why they assembled black hands on the blue dial and lume filled hands on the white dial, I don't know and still get no answer. Also the black dial sample has lume in the bezel but that is not what I want, I will also check this.
My first impressions.

 I already love the Sea Devil, it wears excellent on my small (6,5 inch) wrist and it is a 45mm watch with 54mm lugs.
 The anodizing of the dials look great but is hard to catch in a picture.
The quality of the watch is like the Barracuda or even better imo.
The 120 ckick bezel has a very good grip, is  turns fine and has nearly no play and lines up at all 5 samples
. The crown is also easy to grip and screws very smoth.
 The lume on the hands is stronger than on the dial but I think this is caused by the big hands with lots of lume against the smaller markers, and as we know the bigger the better it glows.
 I had two watches on my wrists this night and they were very readable all night long.  Lume shots will follow
.
 But now some first pics I will try to take some better ones.
 The yellow and blue are blasted , the orange is brushed and black and white are PVD
