Adding extra holes to a Helson seems like a bad idea.... :P

Your right about the extra holes more chances for it to leak.Pusher's on dive chronograph's are all ways the weak link.

Image ..... Image ..... You guys are a tough bunch let me tell you. As for me, if I had the cash I would have bought the origional (non-chrono), just because!

Then move me and the dogs back to the Islands, find a isolated beach front house on the Big Island so I could use the watch!

Now let me catch my breath.....LOL

I wish I'd grabbed the original. Don't know about a chrono, though.

I like the concept.

Pretty.


Useless.


Anchor.



A nice bobble that, considering the Helson history, is basically boat ballast.

Pat never gets soft around the lads.

Helson are good, just as long as you don't dive in Evian or Perrier.
