It's certainly a very attractive unit.
Maybe I should have ordered one after all.
Sigh.

Until it gets repaired, then it may look like all the other black ones.

I stayed away because I wouldn't have even opened the box. Witihin a year there will only be 200 pristine copies. In ten years there will only be 100. If the K3 is a true smash the Silver will have collector value - and I hate keeping unopened boxes on a shelf (my children had some Beanie Babies that they sold right, to the contrary).

I'm looking forward to brassing the heck out of my copy.

Polycarbonating?

Zygonyx · 10-24-2013, 01:41 PM

Rather Magnesiating

Sandy Hancock · 10-24-2013, 02:20 PM

Frustrating, but I'm confident it will be worth the wait. I'll just have to continue slumming it with a K-5 IIs, K-5 and K-01 in the meantime....

And when it does arrive it will most definitely NOT be staying in the box. It might get a non-identical twin brother though

A silver K-3 with grip will certainly stand out in the pit.
Do you have something like a silver FA 77 to go with it?

Sure do!

K David · 10-24-2013, 11:48 PM

Yeah, my Silver K-3 is going to look great with my silver 77 FA. And to think, when I bought the silver 77, it was only because it was $40 less than the black.

According to this E-bay seller, pre-orders should be served as from November 22th, from Thaïland :
