yodap Posted October 16, 2008 Report Posted October 16, 2008 I've just seen it! http://www.joshwatch.com/0102-p-5153.html Here it is... Sorry if posted already, didn't find it here. Looks same as the gen, but it'd need a relume, too! Greetz.
wheaton26 Posted October 16, 2008 Report Posted October 16, 2008 that's the first dealer with it posted ... see comparison pic below. i have inquired about the price, stay tuned!
yodap Posted October 16, 2008 Author Report Posted October 16, 2008 (edited) Yes, it'd be good if we knew it. Or is it that expensive? :D Edited October 16, 2008 by yodap
Mickey Padge Posted October 16, 2008 Report Posted October 16, 2008 Nice finish on the case, but the lume is still messy as ever.....
andreww Posted October 16, 2008 Report Posted October 16, 2008 No surprises here, great watch, lousy lume. Just like the SS version. I believe the caseback should have some red on the limited edition number, but beyond that it looks great!
breitling&omega Posted October 16, 2008 Report Posted October 16, 2008 how are you Andrew. What do you mean by red limited number in the back? There is nothing red according to my knowledge on the gen. Btw, anyone know when this v2 will be available for sale
wheaton26 Posted October 17, 2008 Report Posted October 17, 2008 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!
wheaton26 Posted October 17, 2008 Report Posted October 17, 2008 i have inquired about the price, stay tuned! here is the reply just in from josh ... Hi , http://www.joshwatch.com/0102-p-5153.html For the v2 skyland blacksteel... Expect the price to be high. Watch is great great quality.. Same black steel.. Not pvd.. Expect usd 500 to 600. Serial number 100 to 599.... Except 108, 118, 128, 138, 168, 188, 208, 218, 228, 238, 268, 288, 308, 318, 328, 338, 368, 388, 111, 222, 333, 444, 555..... All other numbers you can pre select.. Pick 3 sets of numbers.. I will get the reserve the number for you... Watch avail in 2 weeks. Thanks Joshua
Mickey Padge Posted October 17, 2008 Report Posted October 17, 2008 I think I will pass at $500-600, the lume would have to be improved massively to even consider it......
Cucumber_Jones Posted October 17, 2008 Report Posted October 17, 2008 Yeah - making this watch PVD or what ever they are calling it is no where near enough to justify the higher price (with a rubber strap!). Fix the god damn lume and then charge stupid prices like that. If this retails at that price I would suggest that we all not buy it till prices come down. That is a rip off and we all know it.

I will get the reserve the number for you... Watch avail in 2 weeks. Thanks Joshua oh c'mon... you're telling me that the 'special' PVD coating is $315-$415 dollars MORE than a model I can get right now in SS... its $185 for Skyland right now... I'm going to call out "GREED" if this even starts above the price of an SA or even a V1 BS Skyland.
turboGUATE Posted October 17, 2008 Report Posted October 17, 2008 Like CJ said, an extremely steep price for a whatever PVD, poor lume, and AsianInside.
MADRED7 Posted October 17, 2008 Report Posted October 17, 2008 WOW....I was excited first....the pics look promising UFF....I am disapointed now.....the price looks desperate Think I will spend my money on another watch....what a shame. Theo
bigpops Posted October 17, 2008 Report Posted October 17, 2008 I've been waiting for this since I saw the gen, but there's no way i'm paying $500-$600 for it. I'd want a swiss 7750 in it for that price. If that does turn out to be the price, i'll probably get the PVD V1/3 version or maybe even the stainless steel.
CY0811 Posted October 17, 2008 Report Posted October 17, 2008 Yep...SS is looking like a better deal.
Mickey Padge Posted October 17, 2008 Report Posted October 17, 2008 Just get the V1 (fixed lume) black steel and use some cape cod, or the like, to take the edge off the PVD I had a non branded PVD 183 where I did the same thing, it really made the black turn grey, which is exactly what we would want
Rolexman Posted October 17, 2008 Report Posted October 17, 2008 Why are certain numbers excluded?........ I have no idea.
RLudlowe Posted October 17, 2008 Report Posted October 17, 2008 I wont pay over $300 Then you'll probably be owning something else -
