I'd love to see you start a thread with pics of the black version. Seems we haven't seen much of that one around here. I'm thinking of using it to do the mod as well.

The problem is I have not get hold of the watch. Not many is floating around locally here in Singapore and will need some time to search for it.

I'm also thinking about popping the bezel insert out and applying some lume on the markers by my watchmaker.

Ahhh sorry, I thought you already had it. I agree there aren't too many floating around anywhere. I also noticed the prices are significantly higher for the all black. I paid under $150 for the blk/gold and under $130 for the blue delivered. I'm not terribly eager to pay $190 for the all black.

I'm in! Lets hope we get the numbers!

A friend of mine spotted this watch for sale locally and I'll be checking it out when I'm back from Malaysia. You know, I like to feel the watch physically before commit myself.
The price you paid for both the gold and blue are pretty much reasonable. The gold one is selling at SGD195-225 here.

Just found out that the bezel top is hardlex, sound like reluming the bezel insert markers is a no go

Yes. I thought maybe you knew a secret about modding the bezel. I'm not brave enough to try and remove the insert but I'm wondering if the markings can be altered from the back of the insert. If the color is applied from the back maybe it can be removed and lume can be put in it's place. So who's feeling brave?

mitadoc, are you requesting 10 quantity?

My SNZH53K1 came in yesterday. Very satisified with the fit and finish. Looking forward to the completed product. All I need now is a silver-on-blue date wheel.

Also received the eBay find OEM Black Knight bracelet in from the U.K. that I got a great deal on. Near new condition. Looks great on the Orange Knight. If it was from a member of the WIS population here, thanks for flipping that baby my way.

I think 10Q means thank you.

Where are the watches available? I have tried a couple of places and they are out of stock. :(

Edit: I see that CreationWatches has the 59. I may well do that, but at $180, it's a bit steep for me. Anybody have any words of wisdom?

[hiro1963]

It seems 21jewels.com has them in stock. I haven't bought watches from them before though...
