This is the thread where I will post the titanium Megalodon 4 photos of the 12 variations that will be available on our website next week. We have 2 dial colors available in the 12 variations. Time is not on my side at the moment so I am going to post photos a little at a time, which should keep you coming back to this thread often to see if I have posted again... hehe.

So here are the first 2 variations...

This is the new blue dial color, notice the tooth ring and the date wheel match the dial color.

Blasted and brushed case, all titanium...

The new blue dial w/matching tooth ring & date wheel is simply Killer looking...I believe that I see my new addition to my Meg family...the blasted case w/the new blue is simply SWEET! Very much looking forward to seeing the other 10 variations. Thanks again for the looks & Have a good one.

The brushed version really pops!  What I like is how the tiniest of evolutionary changes actually makes a tremendous impact.  Matching the dial color with the tooth ring and date wheel is subtle but sublime.  Really nice!

The lume is BWG9 Superluminova, which means white in the day and blueish in the dark.

Hey there Steve, do you know exactly when you will make the Meg 4s available for purchase?  Really liking that "new" blue being used for this series.  Is the other dial color option a classic black?  Thanks and Have a good one.

Hi, I'm new to this particular forum, but I've been researching the Megalodon and this one's got the latest news! Awesome and thank you Steve.

I'm liking the Ti version very much and I'm wondering how quickly do these sell out? Will I have time to think about which version do I want or do I have to try and buy anything as fast as I can?

Thanks for any input.

yes, this is why I am posting the photos of the versions here before they go on the website for sale. You will have time to see all the variations and I do not think they will sell out right away.

The Blasted Blue is outstanding........  How much is this beauty going to set me back.  Should I set up an Auto-draft to Benarus for all of the great watches coming out??

Thanks for posting more pics of some of the Meg 4 options Steve...Looking good.  Keep 'em coming.  I'm really partial to the blue dial w/either finish (but they all look terrific to me).  Is the Blue dial a ceramic dial?  Thanks and Have a good one.

The blue dial brushed with the black bezel is a classy looking combination. Hmmn, based on what we've seen so far I can guess at another variation but the last 4 have got me in suspense. I'm hoping to see the red minute hand make a reappearance?

Blasted blue I'm roiling in the ocean with this toothy monster.  Brushed blue and I'm sitting back with a Mojito satisfied with the day's catch....

Hey there Steve, I was wondering if you can verify whether the new blue dials are ceramic (like the yellow & orange of the past series)? Thanks in advance & Have a good one.

I just ordered the brushed black dial/bezel with red minute hand. Honestly I thought I'd have more time to decide! I soo wanted to order a Meg500 too but can only swing one right now. Whew what an odd dilemma to have!

The dials are not ceramic, the sheen is just like the photos.

example: a ceramic dial is very glossy and has a lot of reflections around the date window.

Thanks for clarifying Steve.  The blue is just absolutely a gr8 choice that you and Ralf decided on...looking forward to receiving my Blasted option w/the Blue dial and Silver hands what I believe to be a stunning combo for a Ti piece.  Have a good one and to all, Happy Meg Collecting!

So, I just got my new Ti Meg 4 in the tube and couldn't be happier!

Just curious but the hardware holding the bracelet on and together is still SS, right?

Hey Steve, you should sell the label stickers that come on the side of the tube on the site, I'd buy a couple!

I also wouldn't mind the microfiber cloth that used to come with the gorgeous box...
