I'm a little late to the party, I guess, since these have been out for a few years. I'm sorry I didn't get one sooner - just an awesome watch! There's nothing about this I'd change - and I'm very, very picky. :D

Is there an issue number anywhere inside the case back? Any markings that say Swiss Made anywhere? If not, no biggie - I think everyone understands the LE status of the watch, and the Swiss pedigree, just curious.

Cheers,
Jeff

Congrats Jeff on a Awesome Sea Angler hand6.gif...the 1 you have is not one of the Swiss Made LE models which were only made in Silver and Lume dials and followed the production of your black dial model.....so there will be no markings you asked about :)

Oh, well... a small disappointment, I guess - but still a nice 2824 beating inside, right? :)

And though it is not a designated limited edition it is a definite limited production with only 50 made as Oscar pointed out. Quite the Collectable. :cool: ;)

Thanks, guys - good to know. I started to panic a little there, as that was how the seller had described it (limited edition of 50). Is it possible to buy optional bezels from Berg?

the bezel is one piece with the case so the answer would be no ...I did take the last eta Sea Angler made and install the dial and movement into one of the Lithium Angers case with the SS bezel though ...you can send the watch to a modder and have them change the bezel insert color if you want hand6.gif

Wow! Very nice! Definitely food for thought... I think I must have seen your picture with the mod with the SS bezel and that's what got me thinking about the possibility. Very handsome watch there. The Kent mod is pretty cool too, tho'!

The other hard one to find now days is the Orangia SA. Also only 50 made. :)

Then there are the rare/scare 3T SA's which Oscar there has the cream of the crop of. :cool: ;)

Don't get me started. About two months ago I had no Orsas, now I have two, and if a pvd SA gets made, I'll have three. I don't have a picture of my Monstrum handy, so the lithium will have to do. Of course, I have no photographic talent either, so even if I had a picture of the Monstrum handy, it wouldn't add much to the proceedings.......

Yeah, that orange dial is striking, Max! Put that in a PVD case and I'm in drool city...
