After a week long search and being outbid on 2 separate auctions, I was able to snag one from a member. He initially declined to sell one of his, but had a change of heart when a great opportunity came along for him. Thanks for helping me out of my rut Rich.

Looks like the wait was well worth it Tuna ! My first venture into a micro brand  46145 This Megalodon is SCARY GOOD !
From that fantastic finish on the watch, to the uniqie look of the bezel, case, and
dial, this watch is something to behold. Want to say that the whole look of this
couldn't be nicer, and even though you were looking at the other versions earlier,
it's THIS one that REALLY ROCKS. My first venture into a micro brand  933578 You have that extremely classy finish which
covers the entire watch from bracelet, to bezel, and it just captures everything
that is cool about this watch imho. Each angle, as well as turn in the case, bezel,
and bracelet just seems to become more attractive. The bezel for instance seems
to have such a unique style to it. There are those HUGE bites taken out of the
edge, which honestly seems to fit in perfectly with the theme of the watch ! It
grabs your attention, but also blends in with the watch too. Also think the top of
the bezel is exceptional as well Tuna. You have the great markings, along with
numbers that dot the surface, and even seem to be etched into the steel. It's
just TERRIFIC in my opinion. Really enjoying that lume marker at 12 o'clock also
sir. Hey, and how about the case shape on this Benarus ?! When you see it from
the side in your excellent pictures, you can see that there is alot that went into
making this case. It's kind of cut into various segments that genuinely look TOO
GOOD. Almost has a UFO/Submarine thing happening ! ..It's AWESOME ! The many
different shapes, along with craftsmanship of adding them to one another is just
remarkable. Just the whole look, quality, and overall height of it is THE BEST. Wow !
..Have to also mention that the way the case works with the bracelet is very nice
too. It's neat because the bracelet, just like the case, and bezel is extremely unique
in it's look. At the same time the workmanship, materials, and all around quality
really seem to match that uniqueness the whole time which is just great. Many
times a watch might look unique, but you wonder if the quality matches the look.
With your Megalodon, there is NO question that the entire watch surpasses all
expectations, and is exceptional at EVERY turn, no matter where you look ! My first venture into a micro brand  803574
Probably the most noticeable point of the watch has to be the dial though. Again,
you have some especially unique things going on. The markers have that ingenius
shark tooth shape to them which is phenomenal imho. On top of that the lume glows
like the sun in the dark. ..Unbelievable !!! Even the hands keep that shark theme
going strong with their aggressively different shape. To see them move around this
dial must be something to see, and of course enjoy. It's just the perfect blend of
aggressive dive watch styling, along with exceptional quality, and class. There
are the VERY noticeable features like those markers, bezel, and case shape, but
then there are the subtle features that help make this watch complete like the
lighter center part of the dial, and sporty chapter ring. Even the crown with it's
size, along with Benarus emblem on it are exceptional. That seems to be one of
the themes that comes up alot with this unique watch. It's EXCEPTIONAL ! Smile
Congratulations on your new Megalodon, and I hope you really enjoy it Tuna !

Exceptional watch, as well as pictures !

Thanks very much fellas!
Tom, it is definitely an awesome piece. I was looking at other finish variations because I just wanted one and couldn't be picky. Truth is, this is the one that I really wanted when I saw it on another forum. Of course, this won't be the last one that I own. It's definitely unique and I can't take it off!
