Got a Swiss Legend Abyssos 1000m w/r Swiss day-date auto STP1-11 Automatic

The all black is a more attractive watch but I desired an all red or predominately red watch

super comfortable silicone band





 
Sweet! That's the original version or first series. Where did you find it? Looks nice. Congrats and enjoy.
 
Congratulations Ray. Nice watch, I have one in all black. When I first got it I literally tore the strap off destroying the rubber because of not being able to keep the lint off of it. With those cutout lugs I had to get Steve O to make me a replacement leather strap.

$125 on the bay buddy, black friday market pressure effects the bay too

1000m w/r comfy day/date Swiss auto attractive color combo nice lume diver for a buck and a quarter, no brainer, gave my quartz Swiss Legends (2) to my daughter
 
Very nice score there Ray as I have one with a black dial & red markers. Agree the strap is super comfy for sure - enjoy yours!
 
The black and red one is what Steve made for me back in 2011. I had to measure everything with a caliper and give him the specs because he had never made one for this watch before. The yellow is another he made later on for someone else. He has done quite a few since the first one. His prices are very fair, usually about $50.

**** that is well worth the mulla"!! will get with you on the specifics!!
 
Mike seems like a great deal for $50.00 & both the red & yellow look great. I really like how the yellow also has the yellow on the side of the strap makes me want to add one exactly like yours.
 
That's alotta watch for the money. Congrats! Good specs on that one and I think with the Day and Date it's the Eta version, if I'm not mistaken.
 
I gotta get some of those straps from SteveO.
 
I don't know if mine is a first series, but if it is and it has a 2436 I would that as a plus

Nice acquisition, I love the Abyssos, you did really well!! Yours is a first series, Gen I, they also used the Claro CL-888 in the Gen I but there was no day or date window and the hour markers were slightly different. The Gen II (the current model) uses the STP1-11 and has stick hour markers at 12, 3, 6, & 9. Here's a little spotters guide I whipped up:

In my travels to get these pics, I came across a little 1.5 minute review our friend Jim Skelton did on the Abyssos when he was with World of Watches, check it out:
