I was never planning on buying a Megalodon 2. I wasn't on the pre-order or resevation list. Whilst I liked the design and the new dials, I stupidly many months ago sold my custom and unworn first gen Meg.  I think it was a one off with its non lume beadblasted bezel and bracelet and choice of hands.  Steve even kindly used my picture on the website which really made me overjoyed.

So due to sellers remorse I couldn't look at another Meg without wanting my old one back.



I emailed the buyer several times who wouldn't sell it back as he loved the high quality finish and look of the Meg and he was using it as the ideal holiday watch. This was a big compliment as I knew he was the owner of many very high end watches.

After several months I was resigned to the fact that I wasn't going to get my watch back so I was going to have to get another, I chose one of the Meg 2's that were left.  It was a difficult choice but I chose the yellow dial and PVD version as I liked the contrasting colours:








A few days later, rather out of the blue I was able to purchase my Meg back!  I was delighted! 



Cant wait for news on my bronze Moray 2 to go with the rest of my collection. 

In my view Benarus watches make for excellent value of money with outstanding customer service that I've never experienced before. 

Thanks Steve and Ralph for all of your hard work for making such high quality time pieces that I'm certain will be future classics.

Wow! Consider yourself lucky, amigoThumbsup3.gif. What's the probability of anybody getting his watch back from a stranger? Enjoy your Benarus collectionThumbsUp02.gif

It's bead blasted.

I felt really lucky to have bought it back as I was certain the seller wouldn't sell it back to me.  Just have to put it on a zulu strap now for everyday wear.

Congrats on your New and "Old" Megas skool !!!!

Awesome lineup with the new PVD Mega II (looks great with the yellow dial), and your sweet looking blasted Mega I (the Mega I is still one of my favorite dials from the Megalodon lineup).  The seafoam Moray looks awesome too.

Agree with what you are saying about Benarus...excellent build quality, a high value for the dollar invested, and awesome customer service to boot...I am a huge fan!

Enjoy!

Great story, glad it all worked out in the end. It's not a one-of, I have the same version and it is AWESOME!!!!!

edit: I stand corrected, looks like yours has a black hour and second hand, mine are gray, did not realize that was an available option. Too cool!
