Hello, here is a drawing from the new BENARUS SEA DEVIL please let me know what you think about. The watch will have a height of 17mm , diameter of 45mm and the dial is 32mm.    Hands on the orange , yellow and lume dial are all black Black dial has silver hand and seconds is red Blue dial has silver hands and minute is orange like the Barracuda All dials will be anodized, except the lume dial. Lume on the black and orange is Superluminova C3 grade A Blue yellow and lume dial have BGW9 The hands on the lume version are skeleton. Bezel is 120 clicks and has excellent grip. Movement Miyota 8215 The pre order package includes steel bracelet with 2 clasps, rubber and leather strap. For early pre orders I can make special offer: Choose your case finish: All brushed All blasted All polished All PVD (+$40) lume in all the markings of the bezel is possible. Also if someone dislikes the valve at 2 it can be removed in this early stage. I have planned 100 pcs with black dial 50 pcs yellow 50 pcs blue 50 pcs orange and 50 pcs white/ full lume If there is a big run on one of the colors it can grow up to a maximum of 100 pcs For this early pre order the price is $ 349 + shipping, and I need only a deposit of $150, rest payment one day before shipping. Watches will be ready FEB 2009 Best Regards Ralf rs@benarus.com Last edited on Thu Sep 25th, 2008 07:04 am by BENARUS |

My 63 is still on its way but I'm sold on Ralf's great service, and the new Sea Devil looks great. Will there be an option for a smooth no-edge bezel? I love the lume version if it was a white dial rather than a lume dial! But lookin good! when will prototypes be available? James |

very nice! Will make a great Valentine's day gift... for myself. My work comp won't let me see the pics, but the ones on your site look good. I'm excited to see the ones you've posted here when I get home. May be a silly question, but is the valve at 2 o'clock an actual working helium valve or is it just for aesthetics? |

Ralf - Still kicking myself for not grabbing a Barracuda. My loss. Very interested in the Sea Devil (black, all brushed) A couple of questions: 1. Is the bracelet the same as on the Barracuda? 2. Don't have the Barracuda specs, is the Sea Devil the same size? does the 45mm include the crown or not? Look forward to hearing back. Monon35 |
|||||||||
|
BENARUS 3T WIS

Hi Monon35, yes the bracelet is the same and the diameter is 45 without crowns. The Barracuda was 42mm. SEA DEVIL black all brushed is no problem. Regards Ralf |

Do you have a real pic of BGW9 lume? What is the color during the day, white? Does the C3 look green during the day and glow green at night? How do these 2 compare. Also would someone have a pic of the bracelet polished? Lots of requests, I know, just a really hard decision. TIA Last edited on Wed Oct 8th, 2008 04:05 pm by G Pilot |

Hi TIA, I have no real pic at the moment, but BGW9 is white and glows blue in the night. C3 is greenish in daylight and glows green in the night. C3 is a bit stronger in glowing. it is the best from Superluminova BGW9 is #2. I can email you a pic from another polished bracelet, but from the Sea Devil there are still no samples available.

Hey Ralf, I had a question. In one of the cad drawings the black dial has has a silver minute hand and a slightly darker hour hand. But it only looks that way in one drawing. I am cool either way, but kinda like the darker hour hand. Will have final version have both silver hands or the hour slightly darker? Like I said, no complaints, just wondering. Thanks |

Excellent new. On a side note is it too late to change a small detail on the watch i've ordered. I had requested an orange minute hand on the black face but am now a little worried that the red second hand will look strange next to the orange. If possible just change it to the normal hands for the black face. Or a non red second hand. No problem if it's not possible. Regards |

You can answer most of your questions by wading through the pages of this thread, but I would suggest going to the Sea Devil page of the Benarus web site: http://www.benarus.com/seadevil/index.php There you can review all of the finish and dial color options that were originally offered. My understanding is that some of the combinations are sold out, but at least this would give you a starting point, and from there you can email Ralf (sales@benarus.com) to find out what's available and to place your order. It's worth the effort. The SD is a great watch. |
