Hello all, 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! Attachment: IM_1.JPG (Downloaded 202 times) |

Thanks to all. As I said very impressed ... now I've got to make my mind up about the Megalodon before the pre-order ends  My only fear is that it may be a little too large! |

Yeah I would but Ralf offered me one for $425 a little while back but I foolishly turned it down because I didn't really 'know' Benarus at that point and now I can't bring myself to part with the extra $75... You know what its like!! |

I know what you mean! All those who were wise enough to pre-order got a real bargain! I think it's a wonderful way of doing business though and Benarus have to be commended for it. Allowing customers to have input at the design stage and then have them"invest" in that design, but at the same time rewarding them with a discount is a fantastic way of doing business. |

I agree with your feelings about the Sea Devil. I purchased the same style last Friday and received it Monday from Steve. To say that his service was fast is an under statement. He answered all of my questions as anal retentive as they were. The watch has gained 2 seconds in 5 days which is amazing. This is the most satisfied I have been do date with a purchase like this. |

Thought I would try the Sea Devil on an alternative strap with red stitching. I liked it on the bracelet but I think this looks pretty good too :) Attachment: TZ_IM_8.JPG (Downloaded 63 times) |
