On the last line...."Way to go Fred!" is he the CEO of the company?
BTW, great write up and review as always.

Very nice review in the same style I've appreciated since the beginning, when I found the review about the 8926...  A nicely finished diver in a low price range, and for once not another sub-clone... Also like that different lug design. This one would actually be nice, to base a WTF-branded watch on, and at this price-level, attainable for most One question Sir... Your Rolex, Omega and Invicta reviews are all gathered on their respective site's. However, you have written reviews about others, like this one, but I seem to loose track of them after a while. Are they published on one site in particular somewhere, so it that can be accessed by everyone? Thanks again...  I think that's a great idea!! We've considered doing a WTF special edition watch. We'd need at least 50 folks to order it though. Do bookmark those reviews! |

Good review of what seems to be a very good offering. I like the case back! All in all a handsome timepiece.
I think it's interesting he chose to use a screw bracelet. Prices on these must be plunging since more and more companies at the lower end of the spectrum are opting for screw together bracelets. This is a good thing for watch buyers.
Way to go Fred!

As an owner of two of Freds watches, one the Corsair that uses the same case and bracelet, I can vouch for everything John has said. Fred is also a stand up guy and you can buy with confidence from him. Others may not agree with me but I love the fact that the shark has NO DATE window and the hands are perfect. Love to see a red second hand on the black face version though. I also like the fact that the bezel is dark all the way around and doesnt have a contrasting area from 12 to 3 like the Corsair. May have to buy one from him and replace mine. Can you tell I like things symmetrical ? ;D Johns Picture of the Corsair for comparison:  |

Hey John, Another great review... I'll add to Max's comment, very well built watches, so if the predecessors are anything to go by, it's a great value. I also think a red second hand on the black dial would be a nice touch & make it more legible, but a minor point IMO that wouldn't prevent me from buying one (though if I was getting one the red would the the one I'd get - love that look!)... |

I agree...not enough red dial watches in the world. |

Very well built indeed. And the screwed links make it a snap to size the bracelet. I just got the grey dial one and it makes for a nice match for my Corsair. Nicely done Fred (and great review John)...

Just wondering why the REVIEW heading says "2006". Is that a typo or did I miss something?

Just ordered the red dial watch. I've been looking for a red dial watch for quite a while.
I just couldn't find a red one that I liked and wanted to purchase. This looks like it will fill the ticket.
Now I'm waiting..................
