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

    Does anyone know 100% for sure whether Peter will be releasing more Helson bronze shark diver with bronze bezel in February? Has anyone been able to reserve one? What's the MSRP of these? How do they wear on the wrist?

    Thanks all,
    Ren

    He seems to hint that he will on his site. I am hoping he does! The SD wears great, it is a serious and heavy watch. I like heavy.

    Well I can answer at least part of your question..I can tell you Peter IS in the process of having more made but I did NOT get any details on exactly what style will be coming or any other info your looking for,sorry...As the previous reply suggested give Peter a shout.. Be aware however he's on holiday for the next few days so it might take him a little while to get back to you...

    I asked him and he said he will produce them as long as there is a demand.

    I know for a fact that Helson are producing more solid bezel bronze Shark Diver watches in February.

    Yes, some people have preordered them.

    Price is in the region of $1,300.

    I emailed Peter just before Chinese New Year and asked if he was making any more bronze Shark Divers. He informed me that they're just finishing production and that I could get one if I paid in full before the holidays.

    They are big but don't look clownish. Very heavy and built like a tank. Worth noting that the finish on these is very industrial, which is not a bad thing but there ar ea few sharp edges and the bronze buckle eats rubber straps.

    My only gripe is that the titanium crown is quite sharp and can irritate the back of my hand sometimes. I think this is a watch that would benefit from being 'destro' and having the crown on the left. I might do the conversion....
    Here's mine...

    Thank you gentlemen! I emailed Peter about a week ago asking whether he will be releasing more Bronze shark divers (not realizing he's on vacation) but he responded to me just a Few minutes ago that more bronze will be released February 3 but he didn't mention the bronze bezel models specifically which is what I asked him about. It sounds like several members have already confirmed he is.

    Navitimer: thanks for the excellent pics and your impressions of the sharkmaster very helpful :)

    I'd love to see a scaled down version of this, maybe in a different case too. Too big for me but I love the overall look.

    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.
