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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 :D
