I think this one has alot to offer Jack ! The mesh is a plus, and it even comes
in black, so that's a cool twist right there. Seems like a good size case, with
2000m water resistance as well ! Helson Shark Diver Icon_biggrin There is an automatic helium escape
valve. Which although you probably wouldn't need, still has to be cool to
have. Then it has a solid movement behind it all. All in all, I have to say
it looks pretty good !

No problem ! Yes, hopefully it would'n't be much over $500.00 !..I'm not sure though.
Have to keep tabs on when they come back in to see for sure. Yet another nice option
though ! Helson Shark Diver Icon_smile

Did she look my wife Jack? Last weekend we were at the AD's, and I started talking about one, when she said something like, "Your Noah hasn't even arrived yet, and your already looking?" She looked sort of like a cross of these two: Helson Shark Diver Icon_rolleyes Helson Shark Diver Icon_evil
We don't have any kids, so I know she won't fall for the "Fathers Day" deal.

I like these. China based but I like the designs.......looks like a hybrid of the Debaufre Trition and Kobold Seal. The black with orange is looking GOOD jackprime1 !

I'm with alan on this one.The helsons price got jacked way up.maybe a 400.00 watch at retail.
Fullswing makes these 2000m cases. for them to be sold to other companies and insure water resistance to 2000m,
they are sold as a kit.Thats the case,caseback,bezel,crystal,crown stem and all seals.
Mass production of these kits is maybe 18.00 unit cost for fullswing and fifty per unit for the companies that are buying them.
The only differences between them is movement,dial and hand choices.
