Lucky ME!  I found a NIB Sea Devil yesterday.  Yellow with brushed case.  Original owner bought it and didn't like the yellow face. 

Its supposed to arrive on the 12th.  I can't wait!

Thanks!  I'm pretty excited about it.  Such a unique watch.   The first time I saw a Benarus I had to own one.

I have gotten the bug bad lately and this is the 2nd boutique watch I bought this month.  The first is Raven Watches Marathon mod using a PVD case, black dial and trit vial hands.  Its supposed to ship Thursday. 

Might need to thin the herd and dump my Omega for the 1km!!

Yes.  Its unreal.   The presentation, the heft, the bands, everything is wonderful.  Did I mention the heft??

Sweet watch.  I immediately put it on the brown leather band and love it. 

Now I have to figure out which of my new toys I want to wear tomorrow!

Looks SUPER! Thanks for sharing... Regarding the stiffness. I usually take some time when I am just sitting around and work them by hand. Bending them in all directions. Remember that anything you apply to it will change the leather and stitch color. I would hand work it and let it break in naturally. Wear it well, it's a Benarus you lucky dog!

Thanks.  Its on my wrist and I'm planning to leave it there for a while.  Mother nature can break the band in naturally. 

I really, really, really love this watch.  Now I want a Barracuda BAD!

Looks great! Love the contrasting stitch, but prefer the tan. Just me... Love strap swaps... Best way to completely the alter the appearance of a watch, as well as the way it wears. I noticed something I did not realize, the yellow appears to be anodized as well.

The face is anodized.  A very nice touch.  The grain structure in the base metal is clearly visible and adds some texture to the face.   The bezel is quite tight, and moves with a less mechanical click than some watches.  My Omega has a similar click...

One subtlety is the TINY window for the date.  Its JUST right.   Easy to see, but doesn't detract from the aesthetic. 

This is truly a winning package.  The box smells like the inside of a new BMW (leather, leather, leather) and is really nicely detailed.  The color matched stitching is a nice touch.

The leather straps are enormous and beefy.  The link bracelet is also quite significant and adds more weight than I probably want.  Definitely a theme for this watch. 

I gotta save some pennies for another.  I like these guys!

Good lord I'm an idiot. How many times can a watch band be changed in 3 days?
