Omega's He Valve...
Omega's He Valve...
... I hate it. It ruins such classy case lines. At least hide it like on the PloProf! Or get rid of it... Damn marketing.... pisses me off just as much as Rolex and 20 line scripts on the dial.

Re: Omega's He Valve...
Agree. A passive one would be OK, but don't like having the extra crown on the PO.

I could do without the big helium fart valve. I never hated it per se, but after owning the GMT (without it) I realized that I kinda do prefer it sans extra crown.

I'm with the Aussie and the smallish Asian guy. Sets off the Seamaster in its own right. I've always liked the valve. Took me a year to figure out what it was, but that's cool.matt.wu wrote:I'm with the Aussie.GGD wrote:I'm the opposite mate, I really like it..... makes it look cooler to my eye

I must say... damn well said. I don't have much Helium here, either. But when I get some, it can and will escape. I guess it needs to for some odd reason.

Re: Omega's He Valve...
I don't care for it or the novela on the dial of rolie's.
I totally dig the new SM PO Chrono (blue version of ref. 232.30.46.51.01.001) but would get the Aqua Terra Chrono (ref.231.10.44.52.04.001) long before the SM on account of the the dive watch making world's 'vestigial tail', the manual He valve, seriously Big 'O...this is not 'the lever protecting the crown'...let it go the way of the Beta and VHS already...put in a passive valve if you feel desk divers require saturation diving capability.

I couldn’t tell you exactly where the inspiration came from, though.

For the case, which I don't recognize! I mentioned manual HEV further on . . .hks3sgte wrote:I couldn’t tell you exactly where the inspiration came from, though.
''There’s even a Seamaster style manual Helium escape valve."

OT: Lex, Thx for the write-ups, I swing frequently.
Re: Omega's He Valve...
Just recalled a few other to use them: Blancpain's 500 fathoms, Germano & Walter...reckon Omega's just the most widely known for it.
