That is amazing...Helson is just banging these watches out one after another.  Looks just like the Corvus Bradley, admittedly without the hardened steel, but at a price point about $600 less.  Don't get me wrong, I not running down the Corvus at all.

I don't know if I'd buy the Skindiver, but I'm impressed.

Wow...this is really cool and looks so well done. thumbsup.gif bravo.gif

I continue to be amazed at how fast Peter is able to deliver these new Helson pieces into the market, especially given the high quality that he consistently produces in his watches.  It really is incredible.

I also like the fact that he went all the way back to the 'original' 50 Fathoms design for the inspiration on this one...looks great!

I just placed my name on the wait list...orange lume,no date...I owned the MKII Stingray which is almost identical but like most of the 50 fathoms homages missed that vintage feel that this Helson carries with the patina like orange lume and no date option...ThumbsUp02.gif

Love it! Nice play on the vintage FF. A little too small for me or I'd be all over this.

I had the MKII Stingray too and just never bonded with it. The vintage feel with the orange lume and big acrylic crystal tempt me but I'm afraid this too might leave me cold. Definitely a great addition to the Helson stable, though.

+1. Great looking watch but a little too small for me. Reminds me of the Squale in a certain way. ThumbsUp02.gif

That's exactly why I'm going to buy one. I also had a Stingray, but the dial had just too much of a modern twist for me. I really like the thicker dial numbers on the Helson compared to the MKII.

I had no idea there were 100 only of these and was waiting a couple of weeks to get the funds to buy one (have to complete sale of another watch).

So I am gutted to have missed out on one of no date versions. Congrats on the lucky few and I can only hope another batch is released - you live and learn.
