Let's Talk About The Spinnaker 50 Phantoms, Shall We?
Phantom Black
Spinnaker is thrilled to unveil an electrifying collaboration with the Paris-based watch customizer, Seconde/Seconde/, for an exclusive Halloween limited-edition version of our iconic Fleuss dive watch.
Morning Crunchers! So, here's the deal:
I have had this watch on my radar for a while. Obviously, this watch sells like hotcakes and then it is resold for almost 3x it's original price.
For those who own this watch (I am hoping to buy the black one) what are your likes/dislikes of it? What was the original price that you bought it for and would you pay these offensive prices that we are seeing on the net?
I like watches. I like ghosts. I like macabre things lol!😬😉😜
Anyway, any advice and help would be greatly appreciated on this matter.
Have a safe and great start to your weekend and for my Crunchers up North, be safe with that weather up there.

Sorry Eric but I think this model is a gimmick. Obviously fun and the night lume looks good. I’d rather burn coin on a Mr Jones watch.
3x original pricing? It is quite unique and the lume on the back is amazing. I just don’t know if it’s worth 3x. Not to me anyway but I think only you can decide on that.
Hey, sorry, I may have the math wrong but the watch originally sold for what, $450 or so? Then I am seeing it online being sold LNIB for like $1,000 and on Chrono24 is even higher.
Please correct me if I am wrong. I am interested in your experiences and your advice/help😀
There will likely be a new edition in the fall, wait. It is a cool watch, but never pay over MSRP for any watch.

I hope so, and I also hope I convince my wife in the meantime that I definitely NEED this lol

I feel like Mr. Jones watches can be gimmicky as well, and the automatic models retail for over $500. In the end, it’s about how a very specific design makes you feel.
i bought it with the intent to keep. i love divers and the bezel was hard to turn which pretty much killed it for me. i do love halloween and the little ghosts, but i found myself not wearing it. so i sold it.
I have the blue one. Only worn a week I’ll sell.

Hey. You mentioned that the bezel was hard to turn. Funny thing is that my Spinnaker Regatta White Dial's bezel is a bit hard to turn too so I just leave it the 12'o clock pip at 12 o' clock. But, I do twist all of the watches that have bezels so they don't get gunk all inside and they get stuck. One of my Seiko Flighmasters had a crap ton of gunk and that's why it wouldn't turn.
What is your wrist size? That watch looks huge on you😮

6.75 inches. It may look big because i had the camera too close! It fit just fine, but just barely.
I cannot fault this watch; at retail it was a steal and even at 2 times retail is still a steal!!
Someone said at night the lume looks good… Understatement of the century … the lume is visible even during the day! I took this photo in a room earlier today and you can see there was light… it is unreal how good the lume is. And during the night it blows any other watch i have out of the park (incl. my sub).
The other day i tool a pic next to a Zenith chrono that had the most lume out of my collection in the dark … there was no comparison.
Negatives? The bezel is indeed stiff to turn but why would you turn it anyway? This isnt a watch for diving - only computer watches are for diving. If you are a diver you know!
I bought the two blue variations and i am planning to keep. This is my daily for now and for every Haloween 👻👻👻👻👻
I should add that the lume is not monochrome, it has different lume colours that the pics do not do it justice; if you look closely you will notice different 👻👻 have different lume.
The open case at the back has also lume on the massive 👻
Totally 💕this watch

Good morning! I sent you a message. Check it out!😎
i am enjoying mine tbh. i rly wanted a onion crown and a dive watch and it has both! plus even if i dont wear often enough, i love watching it in my transparent lead watch box. since i feel like id never be able to own a blancpain fifty fathoms, im going to keep this till i hopefully own a blancpain someday. i have lots of serious watches only and thought this could somewhat refresh my collection. cons abt this watch would be size that doesnt fit into my long sleeved shirts. otherwise its a fine watch. :)
