The Barracuda arrived this morning and all I can say is WOW,WOW and WOW!yahoo.gif

     Thank You Ralf for the excellent CS and QC of this watch as it is absolutely Awesome!....you are a class WIS and friend!thankyou.gif

....packaging is in a league of it's own as many have seen and it is worth the price of admission on it's own imho!.....super idea to include the dual deployant and the extra divers clasp for those who prefer a nice clasp that can be microsized,and the rubber strap and leather strap are also sweet!...if I had not known the Barracuda is driven by a Miyota automatic I would have not known as it winds with ease and runs super smooth....Congrats and once again TY Ralf ....you really produced a Winner in the Barracuda with a dial that is mesmorizing and hands that make the watch very easy to read with an above average bezel that rotates with just enough ease....not to mention the Super Lume which at this price range you never see!perfect.gif...more pics to come along with a full review :)

Hey Oscar, being I'm in Ohio too, hopefully mine will show up, did it come DHL or USPS.  I'm out of town this week (as usual) just want to let my wife to know who to watch out for.

BTW, it looks great, I'm glad i jumped on the bandwagon, even if it was at the last minute.

TY everyone and I am also glad I snagged one....#66/100!...the crown on the left is helium release valve and all you need to do is go to the Benarus Watch forum here on 3T for info on pricing and ordering as there are still some left and the available LE #'s are listedhand6.gif

     Nick it came usps and needs to be signed for....even Ralf's shipping packaging is top notch and it is easy to see Ralf took the same TLC as the actual watch packaging...Every WIS who ordered will be very happy imho as this familiar case has been taken to a new level and at a super price with all the goodies Ralf includes! yahoo.gif

The case is super soft and padded with 4 compartments inside....the leather strap is very supple with a nice vintage look and the rubber strap as soft with a signed buckle....the bezel adds to the tool diver look and the overall architecture is Awesome! yahoo.gif...review with more detailed pics asap ;)

Nice pics oagaspar!  I received mine today too. It IS everything you say. I think we got a hell of a deal!
I told Ralf how much I liked it.
Anyone still on the fence on this - I'd recommend jumping on any that are left! ThumbsUp02.gif

Received mine just a few minutes ago as well.

Excellent quality, nice presentation. I love the case it came with and the extra straps is a nice bonus. My wife even commented that she thinks it looks cool.

Very nice product Ralf, I'm glad I ordered one! boy10.gif

I just returned from Iraq and my Barracuda was here waiting for me (#27).  WOW, I am super impressed and think that I have a great deal of a watch.  My wife likes it and I can't wait to wear it to work and show it off.    Thanks Ralf, I will be talking to my wife tonight to try and convince her to allow me a Sea Devil.  Looks like another winner.
