Here's a nice example of the bronze Shark Diver, new September 2012. I am the second owner. The natural patina is coming along nicely and looks fantastic against the green dial. Helson really hit a home run with these bronze Shark Divers, with details like: matching the date wheel colour to that of the dial; including a tool for the screwed lugs; a titanium case back and crown; and a bronze buckle for the Helsofrane rubber strap.
This 42mm version wears more like a 43 – very comfortable on the wrist, several mm lower than their first bronze SD release that was 45mm. Keeping COSC time, zero issues, excellent condition.
Note: the previous owner cut the strap for his smaller wrist. It just fits my 7.25" wrist (see following pic) with one keeper catching the strap excess. This exact strap can be replaced for $55 from Peter, but I decided to wait as he is releasing an improved version in a couple weeks for the same price of $55.

Screwed crown w. side protection
length, lug to lug 51.5 mm,**** *
