wheaton26 Posted October 8, 2008 Report Posted October 8, 2008 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.
Dave123 Posted October 9, 2008 Report Posted October 9, 2008 I wished the gen looked like this myself,it looks better in PVD....
ubiquitous Posted October 9, 2008 Report Posted October 9, 2008 Hmmmm... Dial lume looks decent... Subdial hands have the gold tubes... If the V2 doesn't come with these items fixed, you can combine the two to make an ultimate Blacksteel
Dave123 Posted October 9, 2008 Report Posted October 9, 2008 Hmm,on second look,it actually looks better then another V1 i had seen a couple weeks ago,lume dot is fixed,and the PVD is not so polished and shiny on this one.....
patinga Posted October 9, 2008 Report Posted October 9, 2008 I like it and I think it looks good. I personally am not into the PVD but that is why they make many different brands and styles. Enjoy and wear in good health.
Cucumber_Jones Posted October 9, 2008 Report Posted October 9, 2008 Looks good - enjoy. I need to try this one on before I buy as I always like PVD in photos but no on the wrist. I suspect I would like this one. I love my Skyland in SS a ton. I look forward to more photos of this and a review. It would be interesting to see what a capcod would do to the finish...
alphakazi Posted October 12, 2008 Report Posted October 12, 2008 the watch gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling - as any good watch should wear it in good health but the moment you get sick, take this off immediately and send me a pm for shipping instructions
fallschirmjager Posted October 12, 2008 Report Posted October 12, 2008 Wheaton - thats a nice looking watch - great at sporting events I guess!!
setb Posted October 12, 2008 Report Posted October 12, 2008 Dont like it ....the case of the gen more dusty look this case has to much shine factor...
breitling&omega Posted October 12, 2008 Report Posted October 12, 2008 hi Wheaton. Thanks for posting your new toy. I'm eager to find a good blacksteel replica myself. Could you confirm if the color is as dark as it appears in person? It looks darker than that o the gen and perhaps too reflective as the gen is more dull. Also, what is with the name v3? I thought a v2 was to replace the current v1. best
breitling&omega Posted October 12, 2008 Report Posted October 12, 2008 The back case should display a Limited edition in black and the model number is in a larger font in black compared to the serial number. Just want to point that out as I'm looking at my gen. Either way, it looks cool and I would like one too
andreww Posted October 12, 2008 Report Posted October 12, 2008 Great looking watch, but not incredibly accurate. If you have ever seen a genuine Blacksteel you will understand the difference. PVD is just too black and to shiny. Its a nice watch however, and you will likely never run into anybody who will know the difference. Congrats!

I thought a v2 was to replace the current v1. best 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. where do you order that watch? watchstation ... great communication and fast shipping!
breitling&omega Posted October 12, 2008 Report Posted October 12, 2008 Are all V1's too dark or are they inconsistent from watch to watch? Btw, how long did it take for you to receive the watch from day of order? thanks again.

Btw, how long did it take for you to receive the watch from day of order? thanks again. 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!
Toadtorrent Posted October 14, 2008 Report Posted October 14, 2008 Nice! I think that's one serious looking watch. Looking good!! Your lume dots look great!
