Love the sentiments Garnett. On the Moray 3, I thought I was going to sit this one out since I am locked on for my first Mega but that dart orange dial "K" in bead blasted is singing to me.

I may have to make the wife very unhappy and pull the trigger. i wonder if that orange dial would look better polished vice bead blasted.

Steve,

does the bracelet of the Remora 2 have a diving extension?

And when is it delivered?


Best regards
Philipp

And my hardest decision was A or E for the black face.  I looked for pictures of past black Morays and after lots of indecision settled on E.  Now I have a nagging voice in my head telling me to go for the Dart version in Orange. 



FWIW I bought my first Benarus when the Moray 2 came out. I loved the Moray 1 Dart so it was a no brainer for me to get the Dart 2 however I did struggle over the choice of white vs orange minute hand. In the end I went for the orange as I thought it was truer to a pure diving watch . Once I got my Moray 2 I decided that the white would have looked "cleaner / more sterile". I am probably not explaining this very well but what I can say is that now I have been wearing my Benarus Moray 2 for ...er...6 months or so....there is not a day that goes by when I do not look at it and think " *****ing awesome watch !!". If i had some extra cash I would go B on the Moray 3 just to complement my M2. Actually...if I had the cash I would get the chrono too....


I would really like to see the Moray made in 47mm / 18mm with the crown offset at 4o'clock HINT HINT ThumbsUp02.gif

Congrats to the guys that have ordered the M3.





 

Within minutes of writing that I looked at more pictures of Black Face Morays and flipped to Model A.

I've just decided that it will be my M-F office watch and will go with the more classical look.  I'll leave my colour for the evenings/weekend.


 

And I agree on the offset Crown, could work really well with Steve and Ralfs designscool.gif

Sorry for another colour question but (and theres always a but!) is the M3's Glossy finish 'metallic' looking like the M2's, or simply a gloss finish on the colour as posted?

I have images of the beautiful metallic shine on the M2's Brown and Blue in my head - PLEASE say its an orange version of those.

For the Moray, the black and red will be metalic brushed, but the orange will be glossy ceramic. If the orange was brushed, it would be dark and not bright.

The bracelet is not yet produced, but I will post the details as soon as I have them. The production of these watches will take 5-6 months.

Just pointing this out because some are not seeing it on the website: The Remora 2 bezel is not ceramic, it will be polished alloy with lume filled engravings.

The name "ceramic" gets a lot of attention, but Ralf and I feel the alloy with lume is a nicer more durable bezel choice. Ceramic may not scratch easily, but it can shatter, and it is difficult to engrave and can't be filled with lume.

The alloy can be polished to have the same reflective shine, will not shatter, easy to engrave with the larger letters and marks, and can be filled with C3 lume.

I went with Moray K orange dart/bead blasted. I am still coveting the red dial as well.

I agree. Specs for a Moray 4 including a 47mm and 4 o'clock offset crown would be nice.

Are these cases still made by Fricker or did Benarus switch manufacturers?

Is the Miyota 9015 the equivalent of the 2824? What is the preferred movement? The 2824 has been around so long it has certainly proven itself. Are there different grades of the Miyota 9015 or is a 9015 a 9015?

Thanks
