the Helson is awesome,
but my favorit is.........
MEGALODON
Interesting thought...I received my Megalodon late December and my Helson Shark Diver just two days ago. Haven't worn the Mega to work yet; sits a little awkward on my wrist. As far as the Shark Diver, it is MASSIVE! And I wear a 8" slack on my wrist which leaves about 1/4 inch gap on the underside of the bracelet.
THAT being said, the Shark is slightly reminiscent of an Omega Ploprof (I state SLIGHTLY). Nice and chunky, with stylish and functional lines, but a tad TOO much on the weight (little too much sliding throughout the day though), so I slapped a thick rubber strap on it. Looks AWESOME now. Oh, and I have large wrists, so small wrists: CAVEAT!
UNFORTUNATELY, the crown separated from the stem (never seen that with a Miyota before) just minutes ago, after resetting the time (gains about 8 seconds a day). Emailed customer service at Helson based on their website but it returned with that annoying MAILERDAEMON stuff. I imagine Peter will respond to my request with an email sent directly to HIM; but I'm a little impatient with the crown breaking off after only two days of GENTLE use.
