Nice catch Sang, can you tell us more about the watch? I have been in contact with Peter for some info and I really like their SS black dial with orange accents. For once it's a different case. I feel like all the micro companies are using the same cases again and again, Helson has the merit to be a bit more original IMO. The lume seems unreal! When you look at it, it's so nice that it looks fake :shock: That watch has also something I never heard of, a 90 clicks bezel??? I'm I wrong? Could you explain a bit on the bezel operation? Is it good, does it align properly with minute marks?... As for PVD, I like the finish but it' just seems like a none durable finish, I could be wrong but I dont't think so. I'm too maniac with scratches to get one, I would like to get a DLC finished watch though...
Anyway, this is a watch I seriously consider and would like to hear more about it, thanks for sharing and again, nice looking timepiece, I love it!!!
Yes. It's a very stunning piece and I have to said it again it's a damn heavy piece. I worn it to work today it kept remind me I was wearing something on my wrist but the bracelet is comfortable though.
The quality of the watch... OldeCrow sum it up nicely it's as like most of the PVD watches. The case, bezel & LUME are very good. The blemish is on the bracelet - missing coating between links which is a known process issue according to Peter.
90 clicks bezel. Yes, it's true. As far as I can see, the bezel pointer at 12 is spot on but to rest of the markers on the dial it's bit off alignment. In my case position 8 is the worse, for other positions you have to look hard to tell. The bezel "click" is very crisp and responsive but travel is a bit long if you used to 120 clicks.
All in all, I'm happy with the Shark Diver (minus the links coating issue). For the money, the SS version is a good buy for a 2000m diver. If you don't mind the weight..;););) (Just kidding.)
Size comparison on the wrist, Steinhart Ocean 1 vintage & Helson Shark Diver.
