The idea that it would be wrong for Benarus to issue the Barracuda with a new dial or it would some how cheap the blue dial Barracuda is silly. Below is a list I copied from Gigfy of the Orsa Sea Angler. Has the value of the lume dial model or silver surfer plummeted because Orsa offered the Sea Angler with an orange dial? Of course not! Nobody considers Orsa a sell-out because it has offered several limited edition Sea Anglers. I hate to say it, but the current Barracuda owners that are opposed to the idea of offering the Barracuda with another colored dial sound selfish.
Dingo, if I could, what is selfish about a product that was sold as a LIMITED EDITION expected to be just that? Not to compare 'apples and oranges' but even in publishing when a book has a second print run it is so numbered (but is NOT sold as a LIMITED EDITION) as a second edition and so on. I would think that it's really a little 'bait and switch' when a product is sold out, and it is re-offered with a slight variance. As I previously threaded, I missed out on the initial 100, and had to cruise and lose on multiple forums to finally find a used Barracuda for a decent price.
Adding another run with a different color is the same watch [name], regardless of the beauty of the watch. Variety is fine for a watch color (as long as they are initially sold that way (as Invicta often does), but that design is over as soon as 'limited edition is stamped on the case back...coyote2.gif
