I own a Barracuda (No. 24) and I would have no problem with a reissue with a different dial color. Ralf has said if he changes the blue dial it would no longer be called the Barracuda. The blue fish was the name inspiration for the Barracuda. So if there was reissue it would have a different dial and name.

This is correct, the Barracuda is blue and a different dial color with that case would probably not be called a Barracuda. At this time we do not have a plan to use the Barracuda case again, it is used by other watch companies and not exclusive to Benarus. In the future we are going to design a new case that will be our own unique design that will be a "tool diver" that fits into the same category as the Sea Devil and the Barracuda. This is not something we are working on right now because of how busy things are right now with the Moray being completed and shipped, the Megalodon series 1 gearing up for production as well as the GMT and the future GMT Auto. But it will be something for us to make in 2010. To answer the questions about reusing a case with a new series, we will reuse the Megalodon case for a series 2. We will also do this with any case that we can design and build to be exclusive to Benarus. The future series would have different dial colors, or even designs, but the case can't be changed so often. Also, sticking with a case design creates brand recognition, which is "the case" with Rolex subs, Panerai, and Hublot to name a few, all producing Limited Editions in the same case, year after year, with little if any modifications to the case design.

Thanks for the reply, Steve. As an owner of a Barracuda, my dream would be to have one in red, yellow, green, purple, or any other vibrant color of carbon fiber besides blue to add to my collection. If not for 2010, hopefully for 2011!Bouncy.gif

To quote a 2 year old "NO!! NO NONONONO !! MINE!! Sorry, but as a proud and ORIGINAL owner of barracuda #85. and being a long time collector (albeit not super expensive watches) Part of the allure for me was really getting a watch that less than 101 people in the world will own. It was very exciting for me. and when I do wear it out and about, and get compliments and offers to buy it, i get very proud that i am one of only a handful of original owners. Put a red carbon dial on it, make the hands another color. leave the rest the same,... just dont call it a barracuda. or LE. Please. Even limited edition Doxas are still made in quantities of over 250. 500. etc. Seriously, how many watch companies do you know that create a really , really nice watch and ONLY sell it in under 100 piece quantities? I SAY NEIN!!
