This is what the "shark" looks like so SS Sub with the blue WG bezel.....

Photo taken from the internet.......

And I actually quite like it ....... but to go the extra mile and source the dial and bezel and polish the centre links would to me be a bit like having a forgery on my wrist and I'd be extremely embarrassed if a friend or anyone with some watch knowledge ever asked me about it......... I also think it would cost a lot more than $1,000........but each to their own.......
