Seems a bit expensive for an unknown brand with a base 2824 inside.

The Halios Bluering is similar IMO...

I dont think it looks like the bluering at all.....it looks more like the
Zenton or the Helson Shark diver really.

Don't have one, but I do like them ! ..Seems to have the
look which is similar to many dive watches out there, but it
honestly looks to be a quality made watch !..I like the hands
ALOT ! ..A REAL nice one here imho !!!

You have a point Don! I thought that it had a 3 o'clock crown with crown guards...it shows you how much I know...

The way the lugs kind of square off the case reminds me of the Megalodon. The bezel looks the same as on my Wilson WW diver.

Pretty sure that's the same 2000m Asian case that Wilson, Helson, Deep Blue and several others have been using recently.

The case size and the bezel are the same as far as I can tell. The crown guard and lug curvature is different than my Wilson WW diver. Here are a coupl pics.

WWW is a solid piece, great buy Mark!!

My guess (and it's only a guess) is that the manufacturer offers minor design variations such as different crown guards, lug configurations, etc. Just too coincidental that all these 45mm x 2000m divers with the same bezel hit the market all around the same time. Gotta be coming from the same factory, don't you think?

You're probably right. I don't know if there was enough time lapse for anyone to have actually copied another brands case.

Yeah that case is a bit of a dirty whooooooer as mentioned earlier. When these first came out they had a pre-order price under $1000 I believe. I like it but to me it doesn't compare to any of the Frickers like Korsbek or Kremke.
