Greeting, and Ralf says hello from China. Here are the first sample photos, there will be more to come soon, and it has been raining in Hong Kong so Ralf could not go outside to take these pictures. This is shaping up to be an outstanding piece, the case looks great. We will post the other dial finishes when they are assembled and ready.

Looking great!  The final countdown has started. Any chance for more pics of the bracelet?  Or further back shot on the wrist?  Trying to plot the look I want to go with.

The BRG looks so nice. I wonder, is it too late to change my order? :) Or maybe I need to buy two instead of just the one seafoam dial. The stealth looks really cool, too.

Congrats, Ralf! Another fine offering from Benarus.

All I can say is that I made the right choice! Damn near ordered a few other watches... But the Dart Dial and the retro Cushion "Fiddy" style case is THE best combo I have seen. The only way this gets any better is if Ralf makes it in 47mm and up! I am just happy to be one the fellow Moray owners.

You guys can go on and on about the case, dials, whatevah ... but that crown is INCREDIBLE!

I have a blasted seafoam with an orange hand on order and I can't wait. It will be one of the more unique pieces in my collection. Great job Ralf (and Steve ;) ) !

Holy Guacamole!! The pics are sweet. IMO the stealth was the way to go, but I see right now I may have to get one of the brushed. I'm telling you right now, this is gonna be a hot item, and this one is staying in my collection. Now, I can't wait for the GMT and it's gonna be a l-o-n-g time before it makes it into production.

There is also the profile pic of the PVD... On a side note, anyone know from a previous post how big Ralf's wrist is? Not a freak or anything... Just trying to gauge the Moray size in relation to my wrist. I have many watches in the 44mm to 48mm range, but all cases wear differently.

I think that Ralf once told me that his wrist is about 6.5"

Looks really Gooood!!! The case looks to be typical Benarus heft and quality. It also looks much thicker than i thought it would be - a big plus hand6.gif.  The stealth dial and the engraved bits are the way to go hand6.gif.

 

Too bad i have to keep my Benarus funds for the Mega :D

 

I am trying to keep to a strict one Benarus order per year (ok maybe 2 since i already received the SD this year  lol)

Looks just great!!  I really like the way the BRG dial turned out.  I agree the watch looks better in the pictures than the drawings.  The details are fantastic - including the crown - really nice touch! 

I think the BRG would look great on a brown leather strap.  Steve, do you know if the Moray will come with a leather strap (and if so what color)?

Congrates on another success - a sure classic.

Ralf - Absolutely STUNNING job on the Moray!!!ThumbsUp02.gifThumbsUp02.gif

...CAD drawings and illustrations simply have not done justice to how this timepiece turned out.  Really in awe of how well the BRG dial combo turned out!!!hearteyes.gifhearteyes.gifhearteyes.gif  I am really drooling here.

The Moray turned out absolutely perfect.gif!!!!

Cannot wait to receive mine!!! yahoo.gif

I am pretty sure dial 1 won't have Automatic or 500m on it, because there is just no space to put it on due to the hour marks on the dial. You could put it more to the middle but it wouldn't look good.

Really nice work Ralf, can't wait to get my Moray.

Check the web site and page 1 of the Moray pre-order thread. Dial #1 was designed without "Automatic" and "500m" from the start. I think it's pretty cool myself.

not an error guys, the drawings have always shown it this way, check the cad drawing on the website model selector...

http://www.benarus.com/moray/index.php

oh I see you guys figured this out, I am trying to get caught up on the posts and emails... and I will be out of my office today, so my replies will be slow.

I'm so happy I finally took one. I looked at it for weeks before I pulled the trigger. What an idiot! Now, I just need to see the silver face;)

You were right again Ralf, amazing watch!!! Don't worry about delivery, we'll take it when ready...Is it ready yet? subtlelaugh.gif

My  recollection is that the 3 porpoises will be on the case back, except No. 6 dial BRG "british racing green" will have the moray.
