I think the Barracuda with hold great value .... they are a coveted item now ..... I would leave it alone as it makes Benarus a name that is known ... I would do something new and not being done by others .... a retro style diver with a retro sea foam green color would make some waves and certainly sell out in a numbered amount like 100 .....

Yes, something like that but maybe a little more aggressive case to bezel size ratio. (bigger case and smaller bezel) I think with 44-46mm to work with we could have a nice cushion case design and a decent size dial (minimum 30mm). I also like the looks of a rounded bezel.

Yes... yes. If you were to do a reissue of any kind in the same case, I would definetly get one ;) . I have seen quite a few others on the board here ask for one as well. I don't think you would have any problem at all selling another 100 :) .

Ralf, my two cents.... A classic GMT watch that is not too big, 42mm, various finishes, 11-13mm thick. Tough to find these today.

When I look down at the watch, I'd like to see the cushion case hug the wrist first, then the bezel/crystal. Does this make sense. cushion case with the signature carbon blue dial and you have a winner... where do I send the paypal payment? :) oh and I wouldn't do a re-issue of the Barracuda (especially not so soon)... It is LE for a reason. Last edited on Wed Dec 24th, 2008 03:06 pm by ikkoku94 |

I still like the retro style diver idea with a blue-green retro color ... I've been looking for one ever since I lost out on a sea-foam green dialed 1970's Omega Seamaster on e-bay 2 years ago .... The closest I have is the quartz Orsa and the teal Stowa Prodiver .... A 200 driven or Miyota driven mabey ?

I have googled seafoam green and found this http://curtisnovak.com/restorations/FenderColors/SeafoamGreen.jpg I like this color is this what you want? I am planning a cushion case in this old style but in 44mm with 24mm lugs it will be "only" 500m for a bigger dial. the bezel diameter also 44mm as the case. But it is also planned that a 1000m will come later with a smaller dial and than also a smaller bezel where more from the case is visible. Different dial colors will be available and also 2 different dial styles. The watch will be less high and more a classic diver design than a tool so also good for office wear. A Barracuda re edition will not come it is a LE and it shall stay one, but the blue carbon dial can and will come back again in different cases.

GMT is fine but I know only swiss automatic GMT movments, and these are expensive and hard to get. monon35 wrote: Ralf, my two cents....
