That's a great review Will, really like the two bezels.

The brass version at $250 is a pretty good deal too...at least they are selling it for what it is at the right price

Yes, the review says what you need to know.
The Racha is limited to 100 pieces from what I see on the case back.
I must say that the lume seems a bit weak and fast disappearing but who knows if the guy loaded it or not: Don't look like it was loaded.
It's more or less a Benarus Moray case if we can say it like that since those cushion cases been around for a while.
I would not choose a brass if I had to: The steel model with 2 bezels is much better IMO.

I agree the Racha is a better watch, the only reason I would go with the Brass is to experiment a little.

The reason I have not purchased a Bronze watch yet is I'm not a fan of the brushed finish, I really love Oscar's Kaventsman because of the polished bronze finish...if I got the brass I would see if it could be polished out....cheap experiment!!

Each time I've seen polish works over a brushed: It didn't look like factory made at all.
It's hard to reach the corners and get a perfect result specially if the case isn't totally demounted or striped.
Things like that are better done by a pro with the right tools and polishing compound as it's hard to master: Compounds are also changing with the hardness of the metal you polish if I recall right.
Good luck if you try!
