Thanks for sharing lanikai! When I looked at the title I almost thought I might delay my purchase of the CD '06 but looks like I will still go ahead. Guess it's personal preference, the CD '06 will be easier with shirts & pants or t-shirts & jeans. This '08 model maybe a bit more sporty like the '07 model

I'm still making up my mind for one of the reps. There are so many small issues on the CD.

If the rep manufacturers make this one better, I would go for it.

all they gotta do is a new dial. thanks for sharing lani!

No doubt, the 06 is still the "king of the hill" this is still a year away.. IMO .. just something to look at for now.. i like the fact that unlike the 07 model they are luming the coloured inner bezel ..

@it... i'm sure once it hit's the AD the ball will start Rolling.. this is like a given i think..

@pix... yes.. let's lite a candle for the inner bezel

Get it mate!

Thanks coolfire! How have you been?

Yap the CDs still have a number of little known issues but don't think the rep factories are going to do much about it, guess they busy with the newer models etc. Anyway, personally I think I should be able to accept those little flaws of course it would be great if they can be better. Haha if they rep this '08 model, maybe I will wear the '06 for weekdays and '08 for weekends

But I'm still waiting for the Mark XVI & big pilot.......

WOW! Thanks for sharing.

Personally, I think this is by far the coolest costeau. Very sporty, yet subtle.

As someone said earlier though; I hope the rep makers correct some of the earlier CD issues, because they were quite a few

IMHO, each year the model gets uglier. Is it true that the 07 does not have a lumed inner bezel? I assumed it did. I think I am going to stick with my one-of-a-kind 06. Pics to come at a later date.

For me 2006 looks better then 2007 and 2008

[yellomen]

well... often the first of such a limited edition line is the best... the Cousteau Divers line proofs that IMHO

Here a picture of the caseback...

There's no solid strip of lume like on the Cousteau and Slevin, but the numbers and dots are lumed.

I like that caseback.
