The new color combos are looking great.  If I've had the money to fund a second Meg then I would have a big problem choosing the preferable combo for me..... ....maybe I should persuade myself that not be able to buy one is better because I won't have the puzzle of choosing  .... I wish..... |

The text on the Dial has changed from "Automatic" to "Megalodon" - is this just the mock up or will that be the case on the second gen Megs? I like the fact its changed - anyone else have a pref? |
|||||||||
|
TheGreenManalishi 3T WIS
|
And i agree with other's opinion - there are three or four combo's i wouild like! But im not a big fan of having two of the same - hence my choice of PVD, which is sufficiently different to make it worthwhile. I know we are all desperate to know - and i realise we are talking very roughly here - when could we expect these Megs to become a reality? |
|||||||||

TheGreenManalishi 3T WIS

A question about the PVD'ing technique used - are the links done individually (or done with a complete bracelet (iirc this means you get a finish that doesnt completely cover the entire link - but only the parts that are visible?) I appreciate that the cost is higher for individual links (though clearly you wouldnt do one at a time hehe).; |

I am in for two.... Brushed / Blue Dial/ Silver Hands PVD / Red Carbon/ Black Hands (this watch is going to look SICK!) I am not sure I like the word Megalodon on the dial. Your higher end watches have automatic, not the watch name, on the dial. Oh well..it will make my first two even more special. Congrats Seve and Ralf on a job well done! (again!!) |

The new Mega looks fantastic, really like the red dial. Unfortunately due to the extortionate tax and duty we have to pay in the UK for stuff from the USA it puts it out of my price range. Great watch anyway. |

I reserved the orange/brushed/lume version......Now I am starting to think the orange face in the PVD version would be really sharp....I cannot decide if I should stick with my original choice or do the orange in PVD...I do have the original Mega in brushed. Maybe I should just flip a quarter! Anyone have any suggestions? |

Aww i so want a steel sunbrush!. I think the ultimate compliment must be the way that all the styles have been reserved at a very similar pace - so there isnt one which people think "yuk" to. With the exception of Black Carbon i can honestly say its a toss of a coin decision on the rest. |
|||||||||

Steve Laughlin 3T WIS

ok, listen... as you can see I have adjusted some of the case finishes on the list, I am open to changing the case finishes around for those that have already reserved, and letting new reservations choose the finish, also the bezel (all steel or insert). I have just a few days to do this and then lock down the orders, I think more people are seeking the brushed than blasted and I want people to get the watch they want. Please email me if you want to change your case finish or bezel, but not the hands, we have those set. |

Thanks for re-posting that awesome polished Mega. I originally ordered the PVD Mega 1, and wish I had ordered a polished one. Now I reserved a blue polished, and when I squint my eyes enough, the above pic's dial looks a little blue (hey I'm trying my best with a REAL pic...LOL)...YIPEEE |

Wow, I'm impressed that almost all of the Meg series 2's are gone so fast! I thought the ginormous size of the Megalodon (now that everyone has seen tons of series 1 pics) might limit its appeal somewhat. but it looks like Ralf & Steve might have underestimated the market for this watch? (unless 150 watches is the maximum size for a production run) Megalodon series 3 anyone???:dude: |

What is the general feeling from everyone here about the black carbon fiber dial? The clean lines of the original is what hooked me. I appreciate the new twist...but having some doubts that the carbon face will look busy - especially with the lume insert, polished case and all the other cool things going on with this watch. Regardless, this is going to be a tremendous timepiece! Interested in your thoughts. Thanks. |

First of all welcome to 3T, you'll find the WISdom here is incredible woohoo.gif There was a lot of talk when the original came out about CF dials and different colors, etc....IMO Ralf decided to keep it simple for the original release and do something different for series 2....you can probably go back to the original design threads here on 3T to see the discussions. As far as the black is concerned, I think it will look great, my guess is it will look quite different in different light conditions, angles, etc. more so then the other colors. I was dead set on a Red dial, wanted that from the beginning, probably would have gone with black as a second choice. Personally I like the CF dials and if you are new to Benarus Ralf's first watch the Barracuda had a Blue CF dial that is amazing. I think the Mega with the CF dials will be incredible. |
