WHOA I had no idea they looked so damn similar.if it had Omega on the dial instead of Helson it would be a replica....some are calling it the best homage to date ,ranting and raving over it as if it were the best thing since sliced bread....yet they are the same group of wannabees who are bashing the Magellan on a few forums because it shares the same case as the Doxa...and that is the only similarity...the case... which has been used by many watch companies over the past 40yrs.....yet it is a copy,fake,and rip-off....I think they should be called WISocrites!
That's a nice looking watch though.
What movement are they using? I can't visit the site from work because websense is blocking it.
....regardless the Sharkmaster is what it is and I ordered one up because I like it and the chance of owning a genuine Seamaster 1000 is getting slim as they are getting over-priced imho.
.....with all homages it gives WIS who ordinarily won't spend the big bucks on a name brand an opportunity to try a watch that is very similar for much less....much like the Panny homages that everyone is so fond of...homages have been commonplace for years among enthusiasts but when do we start calling an homage a replica in sheeps clothing?....there are watch companies that do just that....take a known replica and put their name on it and charge double what the rep costs and these are the watches we need to be careful of and not these watches that are being produced by WIS for WIS in order to have the ability to own a popular design/watch without the costs associated...
