Helson bronze shark diver with bronze bezel... Will Peter make more in February?

[ref3525]

In December I emailed Peter telling him I had money burning up my blue jeans! his reply--We have a few new models in production but maybe you have already a hole in your pocket until relase.

as my dad always told to me "be careful the money has sharp teeth"

am i the only one who thinks that the HELSON BRONZE wears too thick / too high ?
i tired on my Friend's the other day and found it uncomfortable shortly after a few minutes ;0(((

Very comfy to me but then I have a 8" wrist. I wouldnt go much below that with such a long lug to lug. Then again I had a Meg3 now that I did think was to big but it was still comfy just kept knocking it into things.

My old Zenton which uses exact same case.

I have a 7.25 wrist and I do not find the Helson Shark Diver too big. The raised (extended) titanium bottom of the casing tends to keep the lugs and the crown off my wrist and the watch is clearly "hefty" but not bothersome so.

I had a number of shark divers (SS PVD, Ti and Bronze). I have a 7.25 inch wrist. The Ti was perfect - light but not too light (sold it of course...) and the bronze was big but wore well. It does sit high however. SOmething about the SD which I love however. Badass comes to mind..

You have released them all already?! Thats a love/hate sounding relationship. LOL. I will be releasing one, but replacing with bronze.

I'll get my opportunity to try one soon as they will be released in a few days... but which colour to get???

yes me too.

it Sits High & Feels Heavy. i sold mine 2 Days after i received it.!

i think the Thinner Case (500M) would Sit Better on the Wrist. More Proportioned ..

i think what Sasha meat was that the Bronze 45mm sits High .
it has nothing to do with it's Case Diameter neither the Wearer's Wrist Size.

i have a Flat 7 to 7 1/4 Inch Wrist. i only wear Watches from 46, 47 to 48 mms. but still found the HELSON too Thick to wear.

Cheers

Thickness is all relative to what you are used to I guess. There are plenty Panerai's, Omega's, Tag's, or in general dive watches using a Valjoux 7750 that are 17-18mm thick. It is a beast no doubt, but not over the top large IMHO. I like to feel a watch, so all good by me.

I find that dimensions alone cannot accurately portray a watch size. I use an independant source (my lady) to give me honest feedback on my horlogical choices and the results sometimes surprise me.

For the record I have a 7.5in wrist (I think).

She finds the 30mm (yep - you heard me!) calatrava a good size with a suit and not too small or feminine. My Panerai (44m excluding the crown but really you should include it in the dimensions) is a nice size and looks smart yet casual but my Oris Der Meistertaucher (49mm officially, narrowing to about 46mm at the bezel) completely stupid and clown size.

The bronze bezel Helso which is the largest chunkiest watch I own was 'great for a casual watch'. 'Not subtle but perfectly acceptable with jeans and a t-shirt'.

So there you go - that is the "Official Opinion" or at least the only one that matters.
