Express Review:  OceanX Sharkmaster 1000 SMS1017

Another big somewhat chunky diver that works well.  Nicely executed overall look.  Superb ceramic bezel.  Deep water resistance at 1000 meters.  Wears well for a 44mm piece.

Plus:  Beautiful navy blue ceramic bezel and white waffle-style dial.  Perfectly sized applied markers.  Screwed links on brushed bracelet.  Ubiquitous NH35 Seiko automatic.

Minus:  Almost too much printing on the dial.  Can we please have some different handset designs?  Helium escape valve printing on chapter ring looks a bit hokey. 21mm lugs limit strap choices.

Sum:  Solid workman-like diver that delivers quality with style.  Decent price point if bought right.  Take the plunge with the Sharkmaster and enjoy the cool blue lume.
