What time is it? Watches and horology

Great, will have a look at both and see what I fancy, thanks!

Pics of the Shark Diver?

I'm probably going to buy a 42mm.
Debating what dial to get
(black no date or green sunburst, I have a Lordmatic Seiko with a green reflective face already, but it is my favourite)

The green looks good. Dont worry about it. If it does, keep it and buy another one!

It is super light! Amazing really.

so did you buy it?

FINALLY @Stonehedge's desire for the Henson Sharkdiver to take traction is working!

Finally people are getting into them

hey @Stonehedge? ;-)

What do you mean finally? Everybody had them 10 years ago! This is a second wave!

Still waiting on delivery, just ordered a couple of days ago. Hopefully from HK to Tokyo should be next-day though.

I went 40mm, black no-date, but I had the same debate as you whether to go green or not, but wanted a simple black diver. I may just buy more. At 300 usd a pop they are a steal!

A Helson for $300?

yeah, 15% off ATM, SharkDivers are $350, down to under $300 with the code (for the brass)
steel and bronze are more expensive.

$349 (less discount). They're a bargain at that price I'd say

(you may get hit with some import fees when it comes into the UK, I think I had to pay another £20 or so).

I know, I was expecting them to be more expensive but for that price, they are a bargain. I would love the steel to be honest but just having bought a house I couldn't justify the cost. Brass will have to do to scratch the itch for now.

Love mine 42mm bronze my first “proper” watch. Seriously tempted to get a steel 40mm though. Ideally I’d like the ti version but they only do that in a 38 and even then they’re all sold out

42mm brass with green sunburst on order.

If you're going for a ti Helson surely it's go big or go home

That is lovely.

Great size too...

I love the patina and I love the signs of wear.

Always feel like this look very much at home in Rapture (Bioshock).

What model is that? don't see it in their site.

possibly?

The Gauge Steel is where its at. Bloody lovely. Massive but not as masive as you'd think due to the short lugs

Was it you I sent a spring bar to?

The photo of the Turning Bezel version being used as an example in their Gauge watches threw me off.

fair.
its only that i've looked at all their watches recently and remembered some looked different when you delve into the models

Yes, and thanks again.

Um.. no thanks. I’m going smaller
And more wearable rather than bigger!

Cheers. Yeah I’m not exactly gentle with my watches.
