    The best looking bronze diver

    Of course, bronze is the new "It" thing, so which one is the most attractive?

    Anonimo was the first, I think, and one of the better looking. My bezel-less Zenton looks pretty nice too, although it probably has the incorrect chemical formula.

    For some reason, I'm not partial to Aquadive's version. Benarus, Oliver, etc., etc. are all decent too. I really like them all; even Aquadive's. But there has to be "THE best looking bronze diver".

    "THE Best": Helson Sharkdiver. That's why I signed up for a 42mm one.

    Love the look of the Helson myself. Are they available again? Every time I look they are sold out.

    The best...? This one is truly Swiss made, unique German Case, DLC brown coating ect. Pound for pound and dollar for dollar, none come close.

    +1. The Ennebi just looks "right".

    I'm in for the first batch of Olivier, based on price. If that works, I could be in for a larger bronze down the road (secretly hoping for a bronze Meg!)

    I know these are supposed to be the bees knees; I don't get it.

    I would have to agree that the Ennebi looks the best out of all of them. I like that they put some thought into the crown so that it actually matches the rest of the watch. Unique design with vintage Paneri inspiration. It a gorgeously sculpted piece of bronze that also tells time.

    Re: The best looking bronze diver

    i'd personally disagree, The Helson is not even in my top 5 Bronze watch.

    My top are Anonimo, Panerai, Ennebi, Kazimon/Aquadive, Lum-Tec, Armida/Olivier, Benarus, Helson (price or spec being irrelevant, just looks)

    Re: The best looking bronze diver

    That Ennebi looks great; don't see many with a bronze (or at least bronze-shrouded) crown. But those stainless screws on the bezel almost cancel out the great crown... Why??????
    Proba bly not so noticeable in reality. Photographs magnify these things.
