I received my first Benarus yesterday (Sea Devil). You all know what they look like but I thought I post a few pictures anyway!
I wanted a watch that was solid, large and had some character.
The dial had to be clean and uncluttered so that it could be read easily. I really agree with the Mondaine Watches slogan that "the World's best watch is useless if you can't read the time". So many dials these days are far too fussy for my taste!
Initial searches had me favouring a Sinn U series but then I happened across the Sea Devil. A quick check of the specs and taking account of the price and the decision was a no brainer!
First impressions of the Benarus are very good. The package with case, tools and spare straps is superb. It really makes you think that the watch was designed for people who appreciate what they put on their wrists.
The watch itself is superb in the flesh. I have yet to take it off the steel bracelet which is far more comfortable than I thought it would be.
Part of the "Benarus package" though is the service received from Ralf and Steve which I have to also speak highly of. The internet allows us to send messages around the globe but somebody still has to open that "inbox" and take the time to reply!
The Sea Devil arrived in the UK 5 days after ordering from Steve in the US, and that included a week-end.
Thanks guys!
