This is obviously a ton of bang-for-the-buck from Clemens at Helberg!

The discounted Isofrane for preorders and the free Maddog strap for the first 300 preorders really seems to make this a no-brainer and completely irresistable!crap.gif

I don't really need another watch right now, but....well...subtlelaugh.gif

This seems awfully inexpensive for bronze. Do we think it is legit? I'm tempted, but I remember some prior cautions on this forum about pre-orders and low price bronze projects.

While true that Clemens has not advertised CuSn8 Bronze on the order page...(the order page simply says "bronze").

Clemens has stated on another forum that the CH-6 will indeed use CuSn8 bronze.thumbsup.gif

Quote from Clemens:
"Re: HELBERG CH6 - PRE-ORDER - MADDOG + ISOFRANE SPECIAL
We will use CuSn8. If I remember correctly, I have added an image of the raw material in the "old" CH6 thread."

His reputation to deliver makes all the difference IMO.bravo.gif

So, how is he selling CuSn8 bronze for under $500? I have read here a number of times that it is not possible.

You are right Timbo,and to date I believe we were correct in our assumptions with upstart companies,same goes here, based on the reputation of the brands owner.I was however told by a well known watch manufacturer that with the impact of CuSn8 bronze within the watch industry,the once German sourced CuSn8 bronze is now also being produced in China.I am not sure if this is what Clemens is using,but it would make sense that this is why the cost has come down.The Helberg Ch-1 is advertised as using "German Made CuSn8" where as the Ch-6 is not,as I said above,perhaps Clemens will come on and clarify.ThumbsUp02.gif

That would make sense to me, as everything from China is cheaper! I really don't care where the material is sourced, as long as the quality and appearance is good. Depending on the response, I may jump in on this one. I like the bronze/brown dial/black bezel combination. ThumbsUp02.gif
