• Is anyone interested in buying my Brass 42 Shark Diver by Helson - it's the version with the green dial and date - this one but not so shiny:

    It's got the box and all gubbins, in very good nick. Not sure what the going rate is on these, say £300?

  • used brass black aging solution

    You really have to give it a go to get it like that!

  • If you were to take it to sea and leave it wet a lot of the time I'm sure it would eventually, but not on its own. It's very early in its journey, and the brass has just dulled slightly. It's a shame, I'd quite like a bit of green patina on it - maybe not quite that much tho.
