congrats! it looks great and you are totally pulling it off ... wear it well.

it's never easy losing someone we love. be strong brother ... we're all thinking about you!

if it was me, and the guy was being a [censored] ... he would have been the proud new owner! lol.

ya, no red on the caseback. i think andrew may have seen a picture with the caseback sticker still on. besides the lume dots, the only thing jumping out at me is the pushers. like the v1, they look a little long. also, i don't think the gen has the "b" engraved on the bezel which this one does ... these are certainly not deal-breakers for me. in fact, i've got my order in with my dealer. i'm just waiting for him to say go. i have a feeling we're very close!

that's the first dealer with it posted ... see comparison pic below. i have inquired about the price, stay tuned!

basher matt stairs is an acquaintance from my hometown ... i'll be pulling for the phillies!

pm sent. thanks for the offer!

lol.

all v1's are too dark as far as i know. i just couldn't wait any longer for the v2. it took just over a week to arrive after payment because i ordered it during a chinese holiday. with that being said, it only took 2 days to arrive once it was shipped ... amazing!

the finish is dark but not shiny. the v2 is being released soon and should have a more accurate gun metal finish. a few members including me have given it the v3 name because it is a v1 with fixed lume dot at 3:00. watchstation ... great communication and fast shipping!

i'm pretty sure it's super 48mm and skyland 45mm. it's a big mother either way!

cool.

chowder!

the first limited edition blacksteel was the 45mm skyland avenger. they are very similar but from what i can see, the differences are: 48mm instead of 45mm the lume dots are all big instead of a smaller one at 3:00 the texture of the subdials is on the right, not the left it says swiss made at 6:00 the subdial at 12:00 is slightly different 3000 pieces instead of 2000 basilcally the same watch with a few changes so they can call it another limited edition. here is a post of my v1 that i received this week.

those pictures make me cringe!

it looks like a rep 220 if you ask me. definitely a rep bracelet, therefor i would suspect a rep watch. if you could get a good picture of the date, you'd know for sure. if he can't supply that than run ... fast!

no one's feeling this?

hey guys, my v3 blacksteel arrived today from watchstation. this will do the trick until the v2 is released. here are some quick and dirties that i just took. i'm going to be out for the rest of the night but please chime in as i'd love to hear your thoughts! i'll be happy to answer any questions when i get back. all the best.

you're right teejay, king is a reputable dealer who even i have purchased from in the past. but i don't think this is her. see king's website here. someone please correct me if i'm wrong, but again ... be careful. this is exactly how i ended up here. i bought a cheap rep thinking i was getting what was in the picture.

be careful. not all, but some of those pictures are of genuine watches. the watch you are asking about does not have a genuine picture but you're right ... it's the pam 062 with a white date-wheel. i hope this helps!

here's a couple more with my new bond nato strap ...

if you look closely in the fourth picture, the lume dots are not perfect. could this be the v2? if so, where do i hand over my money?
