Hey Bill, what do you think of the SharkMaster? Is it worth the money??

The watch to me is worth more. I paid a pre-order price of $750. a steal. The build is excellent, it pays homage to the iconic watch, the Omega Seamaster 1000m which it does excellently.

Helson Sharkmaster 1000

The Helson Sharkmaster 1000m is a homage in every respect the Omega 1000m and commonly referred to as the grand.

The pre-order price was offered at below $800. and included:

To my knowledge, this was the first homage of its kind. I do know another 1000m type is to be

Thanks Bill, i thought it was a good deal even at todays prices and it seems most people have excepted it as a great homage to an iconic watch that isnt made anymore, but i always love to get your take on things like this before i pull the trigger on one for myself! Thanks again!

No problem, any time.

Thanks Alan, its his latest with a 2824-2. We met Wing this summer and he was telling us how he bought a lot of ETA 2824 and 7750's from Swatch Group. This is one of his other divers that got one.
