HauteHippie Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 So I don't know if these have been brought up before (search seems to crap out on me), but a guy I work with has one of these and I was just taking a closer look at it... Very nice! Too bad all are sold out. http://helson-watch.com/shk3.html Screen caps: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxman Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 Nice looking watch, has that classic diver look that I like very much. Remindes me of a SD at first glance. Do you know what theses things go for? Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HauteHippie Posted April 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 I'll ask him what he paid. It's probably not too bad, the movement is Miyota. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HauteHippie Posted April 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 $500 bucks. PVD is/was $550. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ztech Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 A buddy of mine has one of these in both PVD and SS. They're very nice for the money and, from what he tells me, a very accurate time piece. IMHO it's a very good evolution of a classic design. A great bang for the buck!

maxman Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 $500 bucks. PVD is/was $550. Not bad, I'll keep my eye open for this one. I think there should be some more comming soon according to there website, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OSRep Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 Ive had two.........quite nice watches!....Well made, very hefty, lume is amazing, and mesh is very comfy!! At the time only the Miyota was available, but I think Peter has brought out an ETA version.....There are quite a few watch manufacturers with the a similar look and spec>>>>>> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HauteHippie Posted April 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 Nice pics... This watch has as much presence on the wrist as an SA, in a less flashy sort of way. I like it a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krpster Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 That is a very nice design. I like the approach with the mesh bracelet that terminates into links at the clasp. Looks very rugged overall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 This watch is setting off all my little buzzers. Must resist....well when they are back in stock must resist. Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hackR Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 i like the unique look of the brown/brown...would look sharper in ti, but still looks nice in the ss... R- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HauteHippie Posted April 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 Damn.... Looks like I'm getting a Helson tomorrow! It's just money, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hackR Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 It's just money, right? i'd save up for this... but then again, i do like the uniqueness of the Helson brown/brown... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HauteHippie Posted April 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 i'd save up for this... Heh. You do have a point there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSRep Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 Nice pics... This watch has as much presence on the wrist as an SA, in a less flashy sort of way. I like it a lot. Its ALOT less flashy Chief - mainly all brushed surfaces with matt black dial etc.....But if youre looking for a cool tool watch then this is the way to go...... HOWEVER, before you plunge for a Helson, check out Zenton watches........VERY similar design but I personally like them better...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gran Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 Looks great this SHARK DIVER but do you really think she needs the watch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chronos666 Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 similar to benarus watches me thinks, they use crappy jap movements too for around $700 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member X Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 Oooh, blue with blue lume... http://helson-watch.com/shk2.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DemonSlayer Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 These are very nice watches IMO. I love that bracelet design especially, I'm going to look into these for my uncle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 With that bezel design and bracelet, this watch appears to have a lot of Ploprof influence (at least to me it does)... Just more wearable than the Ploprof in my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HauteHippie Posted April 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 You're right, Ubi! I see numerous influences here, and Ploprof is certainly tops among them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
