BENARUS 3T WIS

The samples arrived. The movements with the black date wheels will be deliverd in late January, so the blue and the black dial sample have a white date window. Why they assembled black hands on the blue dial and lume filled hands on the white dial, I don't know and still get no answer. Also the black dial sample has lume in the bezel but that is not what I want, I will also check this. My first impressions. I already love the Sea Devil, it wears excellent on my small (6,5 inch) wrist and it is a 45mm watch with 54mm lugs. The anodizing of the dials look great but is hard to catch in a picture. The quality of the watch is like the Barracuda or even better imo. The 120 ckick bezel has a very good grip, is turns fine and has nearly no play and lines up at all 5 samples. The crown is also easy to grip and screws very smoth. The lume on the hands is stronger than on the dial but I think this is caused by the big hands with lots of lume against the smaller markers, and as we know the bigger the better it glows. I had two watches on my wrists this night and they were very readable all night long. Lume shots will follow. But now some first pics I will try to take some better ones. The yellow and blue are blasted , the orange is brushed and black and white are PVD               |

Those are absolutely BAD! I have one question... Does the extra leather strap come with color stiching that is the same color as the dial? I cannot wait to get one of these beauties!! |

These look great, Ralf!! ... I can't help thinking how amazing a Black PVD, black face and black numbers (i.e. stealth!!) version would look - SICK!! Please consider it - even if just for a couple LEs |

Ralf, the lume on bezel of the black/black is perfect. Leave it that way at least for mine. #24. I even like the full lume better with lume on the hands instead of skeletonized, let me know if you still have the ones we talked about I will get them.... |

I've been waiting for that moment for a while now! It looks great Ralf! I like that second hand better. Now i can't wait to see my black face with orange minute hand in blasted finish. Also, i want to thank you for the good service you give us Ralf, i really appreciate that you keep us informed of every step in the development of the watch, it makes it very special to own a Benarus. That kind of attention is very rare these days, specially for the price we paid !!! |

Thank you for all your comments . The leather straps which come with the watch will be black and the stitching will be in dial color. Black and blue dial will come with a black date wheel, but the movement aren't arrived yet that is why the samples have a white date. As I told you I already love the watches in daylight but I am still not satisfied with the lume. After some emails with the manufacturer I guess we found the problem. The dial factory has printed the lume directly on the dial, now I have ordered that they first print white color and than the lume. It should glow much better than The hands are already fine. I have added a comparison pic with an Orient 300m, my best glowing watch, and a LM7 so you can see the lume on the hands is already good. You can see the the Lume on the yellow dial is brighter than one the blue dial because the blue has much darker underground. The lume dial should glow as the hands do than it is ok. Lume on the PVD bezel will not be so strong as on the dial but we will do best as we can, but as the markers are very fine they cannot store so much lume. Sorry I am not a good lume photographer .          |

Looks really sharp. This is the only watch that I have inbound right now, so I am getting anxious.  |

Yes looks great so far! Great looking in blasted finish. I am with you Ralf, I am not satified with the lume. Especially the blue dial, hopefully these will glow much stronger. Love to see the orange minute hands too! |

It is my understanidng that it comes with two straps, one rubber and one leather, and a bracelet. If you don't wear a strap, at least you will have them just in case. Last edited on Wed Jan 7th, 2009 10:39 pm by |

The dial factory has printed the lume directly on the dial, now I have ordered that they first print white color and than the lume. It should glow much better than The hands are already fine.

Great looking cases Ralf! How does it compare thickness wise with the Barracuda? any pics? Oh yes, short intro. Hello All, This is my 1st post here. Actually joined this forum to keep abreast of the Sea Devil's progress. Too bad i missed the fun on naming the 3rd Benarus model. But Moray sounds good to me hand6.gif :) I am a WIS with mainly Seiko divers in the collection and a solid Barracuda to balance things out lolwoohoo.gif PS: love the emoticons! cool10.gif |

Hey G Pilot, my info is that this will be done for sure. Otherwise I don't accept it. First white paint than 3 times lume. I don't know your real name, but I guess you have ordered a white or a black dial in brushed finish. I cannot promise that you will get it in time for your birthday but you will be satisfied with your watch.

Hi Ralf, Thanks for the pics hand6.gif For a moment there i was worried that the SD will be thicker than the Cuda. I guess its the 'blockier' design of the SD which makes it look thicker. Hope you received my PM earlier. Its about a change in my email address. Keep these pics coming my friend :) BENARUS wrote: Hi Badern, |

Ralf, i have a question for you. I ordered #38 with black dial, blasted finish and the orange plongeur minute hand and i was wondering what color would be the second hand since all the sample pictures are showing black and red second hands. Also, if it's grey, is it going to have the orange tip like the Barracuda? I think it would be a very nice touch. Thx! |

Yes if you ordered the the orange minute hand you will get the same hands like the blue dial , but with C3 lume (silver hour , orange minute and silver second,and I have ordered all silvers second hands with orange tip) DM71 wrote: Ralf, i have a question for you.
