Looks great, Jay. I wish it wasn’t missing the complication.

Supposedly that will be coming out. Eventually.

Re: New Aquastar Benthos Available.
Love the benthos. They should just call Sinn and get the EZM1.1 movement. But it would probably be a $5K watch.
It's better than the vintage at this point. The chromo is temperamental and hard to service. When it works it is great.
Im on the fence with this one. The only saving grace is the croon hand - now the seconds hand - which makes the watch.
does the case look different to you than the original benthos? It looks slimmer from 9-3 than the original, with different angle to the case towards the lugs/strap.

It doesn't use numbers or moving hands
It always just says now

Re: New Aquastar Benthos Available.
Beautiful Jay, and I know I say this a lot with watches,
but can it get
any cooler?
What a pick-up, as well as find here. Honestly, it’s
going to be another stunner in your collection. ..And just the look with that
one crown, and dial, bezel combo with case design is a treasure. AND worth
the price of admission !
Sending off an AMAZING Aquaster congratulations ahead of time sir !!!

Re: New Aquastar Benthos Available.
So much for sticking to my 2023 watch plan.
Just a heads-up; PayPal is not an option for purchase.
I checked with Aquastar, they don't use PayPal for pre-orders.
Thanks for the nudge, Jay; this looks great.

Re: New Aquastar Benthos Available.
Woke up, saw the notice in my email, ordered. Been hoping for this a while.
Re: New Aquastar Benthos Available.
Ordered..
Re: New Aquastar Benthos Available.
Wondering if the case is 42mm or the bezel. If it’s the case, it could wear like a CWC.

Re: New Aquastar Benthos Available.
I'm not sure if my order got in on the first batch. First batch deliveries are scheduled for before X-mas this year. Second batch is scheduled for April 2024. I'll post photos when ever it arrives.

It's noted on the Aquastar website.

Re: New Aquastar Benthos Available.
Pretty nice, I should have held on to my original. As mentioned here, it was temperamental, and difficult and costly to service.
