    Orange Helson Shardiver opininions sought...

    I am considering purchasing a Sharkdiver SS with the Orange coloring. I tend to stay conservative in my color choices but the Orange is really nice.

    So any input of past and present owners of the color orange in this model or even if you have both/ had both SS with White/black face compared to
    SS with Orange/black face your views would be appreciated!

    Helson's Shark Diver is without question one the best watches, dive or otherwise, to come from any of the boutique companies. I've now had four, and just love them more. I say with confidence, purchase without hesitation :)

    It's not only a great watch, Peter is an absolute pleasure to deal with, one of the best guys in the business.

    As for the Orange, it's great looking! The new sapphire bezel is fantastic. Go for it! And post pictures!

    Take a look at the pics AMES posted in one of his threads of the super awesome orange dial orange sapphire bezel 45mm SD with an orange isofrane rubber strap. It is the nicest orange combo I have ever seen. Kinda wish I got that instead of the white dial 42mm SD I bought.

    Go for it. AS Sheriffd2 said....dont hesitate!

    Thanks for the info and opinions guys. I should have been more clear in my original question, I meant to say Orange font on black dial and black bezel as opposed to the standard white font on black dial/black bezel...sorry for that.

    Orange will be less versatile but bold on a already substantial watch so depends on where you'll be wearing it and the impact you want to make. I'm not a big fan of orange in general and would go for more subtle version.

    Orange/black for sure. It's really cool.

    Yup, orange/black for the win! Received one a couple of weeks ago (although the old one on mesh) and that contrast is killer! You won't be sorry. I always find myself staring at it!

    I love orange on a watch. And the SD is a bad ass watch. Get it!

    Mine's arriving tomorrow (45mm white dial, blue markers, stainless bezel). I'll post some pics when I get it.

    Eventually I'd like to have the black/orange version and the grey dial as well.
