Well this one needs no introduction... The Barracuda has been on my list and have not been able to find one... The rare ones that went on sale were snatched within minutes, hours at best... The last one on another forum was snatched by a mod within minutes of the thread being posted and I was only 5 minutes latemistake.gifmistake.gifmistake.gif

 

When I saw JD post his for sale in the 3T For Sale area, I thought to myself, I'll PM and EMAIL him right away, it had been posted fairly recently but really expected JD to come back and say... Too slow, too late;)

To my surprise, it was still available and communication was quick, clear and limited... The deal was done in minutes! Thanks JD for such a smooth, clear, honest transaction and for shippinh my baby to quickly!Thumbsup3.gif

 

Watch cameon this different rubber strap seen on my pics, but also with another Benarus black rubber strap, a brown leather strap and the known Benarus Bracelet with two clasps.

Well on to the pics now, did not know which to post so here they all are... I'll definitely be trying on the leather strap, but Iam thinking this one belongs on the cool bracelet!yourock.gif

 For some reason I am not one for rubber strap generally but this one is cool and so is the one BH green one on my moray...

For this one I ahve something different in mind, like a Maratec composite with blue or orange stitching....

but would love your suggestionsthankyou.gif

Good score Brice!  Glad to see you finally got your hands on the Cuda, and I must say that you got one helluva deal too.  I've actually had a guy try to buy my Cuda off my wrist, his alcohol-induced offer almost landed him a new watch but his wife stepped in and put an end to it.  BTW, I like the Cuda best on the original bracelet...

Congratulations Brice! I'm so happy for you man, I was in your shoes not long time ago and I can remember the feeling I had when I found mine...I think you will keep this one!  Definitely a special watch and you are lucky you got one in such a great shape.  I can tell that JD took good care of it  hand6.gif

Wear it in good health buddy! Thumbsup3.gif

And I forgot to say, great pics!!!!

Congrats!   A long wait/search but you got one hand6.gif     I love mine and keep it exclusively on this carbon strap. It originally  had white stitching until it had a run in with a sharpie. Its not a perfect match but I like it!   :D
