New version(s)
Gary Perrin
be coming out with more versions, I thought I would throw out a few
sugguestions as a new string.
1. A GMT version. It seems to be a popular choice, though I tend to
prefer the white face with rotating bezel as oppossed to tha standard
fixed bezel Explorer II version. Sort of the best of both worlds. I
also prefer the 300 MoD face, more like the Omega GMT and Planet Ocean
series as oppossed to the standard Roley face. If a standard Mil-Sub
face is used, I would suggest bigger dots and bars (and hands) just to
make it different (and easier for old eyes to see).
2. What would the movement be, I lean towards the ETA 2893-A2 which is
a close cousin of the ETA used in the basic Shark series.
3. Totally different subject... is there an interest in a base
explorer style with either a plain bezel or perhaps a fluted bezel for
the dressier look with date - white on black or black on white (input
please) - something the Big R has never done - or perhaps a change to
somtehing like the ETA-2836 family with day/date as on option.
4. Two words... Date Just?
Having had the opportunity to meet the Evil Kitty, I am sure that any
feedback to make the Shark series a success will be appreciated.

I have been leaning toward something a little more "Hamiltonish" for
the vintage style. I also have to confess that I like Day/Dates better
than Date-Justs. This model will be one of the last to come out -
mostly because we already have really great stuff from Titoni and
Ernest Borel available.
The TigerShark exists because, in my opinion, too many watch companies
are moving away from the classic design built with very high quality
components. I don't plan to have a fancy box, or a lot of "fashion"
features. The TigerShark is going to be a great classic watch built
like a Sherman tank and sold at a fair price.
