 I agree with you. I was a little bummed when Debaufre took the "Triton" off the dial for their newer model. However, they do have the name incorporated in their caseback design.  Hopefully Benarus will get to a point where there are so many designs that even Ralf will have trouble remembering the model's name. :) 

Truth be told, the caseback design is my favorite part of the watch--and the current design with the dolphins is very good. If the budget does not include new caseback designs, maybe the name could be put beside the serial number?  No deal breaker either way. I just believe the a cool caseback design adds a uniqueness to each watch, making the front and back a piece of art.

With that all said, the previous, the current, and the future line of Benarus watches are impressive and I look for many more in the near future.

Cheers,

I'm really not bringing this up to complicate things or to make any request whatsoever of Ralf, but all weekend while the site was down I kept thinking about the line above.

Other than Marathon, some pilots, vintage Panerai and their clones, I can't think off the top of my head of any watches other than the Barracuda and incoming Sea Devil (and, presumably this new Benarus model) that DON'T have the model names on the watch. Maybe you veterans can think of some, but I can't.

I know I'm going to love my Sea Devil, but it makes me wonder -- would I love it even more if it came with the Sea Devil model name on it?

Seriously, just a rhetorical question that isn't asking anything of Ralf, but I was curious about what others think.
