Does anyone currently own an MKII?

Just curious, as I've been looking in to them lately. I know Chris owned a GMT, anyone else?

Thanks fellas!!!!

Seth (Namor) had a LRRP Milsub he recently sold.

I used to have a Paradive. Cool watch. Although the dial is small, the overall size worked for me fine.

Actually this is my first post. I've got a Sea Fighter and a Kingston currently and used to have a Stingray that I wish I never sold. I really like 'em and will probably get the new version of the Stingray whenever it finally comes out.

I have a couple variations of the Sea Fighter. I will say that they are good quality and keep great time.

Use to have a Seafighter--not a bad watch

I have a Stingray. Not a bad watch, do not wear it any longer.

I had a LRRP Milsub, too. Good watch and kept great time. No QC issues at all. Great appearance. Just a little bit tall when on a NATO.

I've had a Milsub GMT and, a few years back I had a Stingray. Both very nicely made and good timekeeping. Both were sacrificed on the alter of new shiny objects.

I had a Blackwater and whatever the Explorer one was called. Definitely a cut above most micros, but the current pricing us like mass hypnosis. You can't make a kit micro "rare" IMO.

I'd love to find a Stingray...the new ones are a bit "aggressively " priced IMHO

JDC222 · Post by **JDC222** » Sun Dec 01, 2013 8:26 am

I just want one of these!

marchone · Post by **marchone** » Sun Dec 01, 2013 8:29 am

IMO the MK II LRRP Milsub GMTs are the best ones to get. They're not copies of anything albeit highly derivative to be sure.

I have an Lrrp milsub gmt.

Seafighter here...awesome watch, but not worth the going rate and a bitch to find pre-owned

I have a Blackwater MMT. Nice watch, but it is somewhat uncomfortable to wear for some reason.

Best wishes,

Recently a Sea Fighter with 3 straps and 2 bracelets sold at WUS for $690. Seemed like a damn good deal to me?

I have had 5....all well built..

I have had two Kingstons and a Stingray, as well as the LRRP in the center that I still (miraculously) own. Wish I had kept a Kingston. Nothing really constructive to add to the comments above other than that they are accurate. The sometimes cult like following of Bill Yao tend to drive the prices a little higher than they should be. Quality pieces none the less.

Dave:
I own a Kingston , a ceramic bezel Paradive and a
NIB Nassau( that is for sale). All are beautifully made and
IMHO well worth the price.

Good Hunting

Undeniable quality of build, the best of the MICs in my opinion in that regard. Generally keep excellent time, with good lume and quality of bezel action. I've owned about a dozen. They don't stay because: 1. (except for the LRRP) they are direct copies of other people's watches and that wears on me when I look at my wrist; 2. customer service is the worst in all of horology; and, 3. prices have doubled, making MKII a less desired choice compared to genuine original watch companies whose watches are in the same price range.

gonzomantis · Post by **gonzomantis** » Sun Dec 01, 2013 2:43 pm

Had a Kingston and a MKII dialed Tudor. I still have the last four in this shot.

(Tudor mod, Luminox mod, Blackwater, Sea Fighter and Marcello C mod)

I flipped the Kingston because I was able to consolidate and save my way to a Sea Dweller in the time it took for the order to be filled. The Tudor mod was interesting, but didn't get worn much.

As folks have mentioned, the build quality is really high and they are great timekeepers.

Thought the Seafighters and Stingrays were the best stuff Bill put out...I think I paid $570 for my Seafighter...
