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

In your review you mentioned it utilizes 316 L stainless steel. I’m familiar with 1810 stainless steel, common in many cooking tools. What is the significance of that number? Would it refer to nickel and chromium content? On the back case it has the word sapphire. That would be the crystal material or outside layer of the crystal. Is that the last word in durability? Very cool pics, great review. In your opinion, how does the Myota 8215 movement compare to Seiko’s monster with the 7S26?

You can do a little Googling to read more about the various grades of steel. The entire crystal is made from sapphire - a man-made synthetic which is chemically identical to naturally occuring sapphire, and is, like 316L steel commonly used in higher quality watches for its scratch resistant properties. Much has been written about both the Miyota and Seiko movements - not a simple or quick question to answer. But again, Google is your friend.

316L is serious stainless steel. If I may, I found this link which I found very informative and not overly technical. www.azom.com/details.asp?ArticleID=2382. The watch is stunning! I recall reading about the Myota 8215 in other reviews. Thanks for clarifying my question about the crystal, I’m starting to accumulate a working vocabulary about all the aspects of a watches. I enjoy all the “Reviews”; problem is I can’t stop looking at those super pictures! The Sea Shark just moved to the top of my next purchase list!

Hello John,
Interesting article and I'm intrigued by the thought of a WTF themed watch. Would a red-dialed Sea Shark be the only option? Would something resembling a green -dialed Globemaster Diver be a consideration.
I've seen that the Globemaster movement is currently limiting it's numbers, but am curious as to what possibilities might exist.
Thanks,
Trainer

Received the Sea Shark today. What a nice watch with the Red face.
I have to work on the band tonite for a proper fit.
Nice wooden box with papers also.
Sorry about no pics, but I can't make that work here on the net. I've tried and tried. I wish I could take those pictures some of you guys do.

Thanks, Trainer As to possible variations, I suggest you contest Fred directly.
