Nice one.

The black outer bezel ring, is it PVD or vulcanised rubber coating?

This combo today. My current daily beater with a Strapcode Peru. The strap edges were deliberately "frayed" by me prior to mounting ...

On this since I got it on holiday in Malaysia. Accidental find, but great purchase. Pre-loved but in great condition. Complete package with extra straps and spring-bars. The tropic strap I fitted since the original from 1953 is always shown with a tropic strap.

MKII Stingray 50 MOD2C.

Surprise you can find it locally here, albeit used.
Mind to share how much you pay?

TheHobbit · « **Reply #1860 on:** February 10, 2011, 12:51:26 PM »

USD 570 with extra straps and spring-bars (above and beyond the 2 sets of spring bars from MKII) . Preloved but unused with no scratches. Was equally surprised to find it. Have always wanted to get one but held back because hit and miss with homage watches (although MKII comes with very good reputation and recommendations) and I am a very hands on person, more so watches above USD 500. So it was great to be able to see and handle the watch before buying it. Great homage to the original issued in 1953. I love the 3,6,9 and 12 dial. The difference is the bezel does not have the lume on the 15, 30 and 45 minute markers, it does not have the acrylic on bezel and the crown is different. Of course the Arabic hour markers is also thinner and the font for the minute markers is different.

I missed out on the TR1000 order and this is the next best thing until the new Stingray/ TR comes out.

The original.

Thanks for the info, can please PM me where is the source?
I was quite interested of Precista homage but wonder whose quality is better.

CK77,

The watch was from a friend. With regards to Eddie's products against Bill's, do a google search. I have PM you a couple of links on both the watches.

TheHobbit · « **Reply #1863 on:** February 11, 2011, 09:57:37 AM »

It will one of these as these will be the watches on general rotation:

Benrus Type 1 reissue, Marathon SAR 2005 contract and MKII Stingray 50 MOD 2C.
