I like it. It looks like it is built like a tank.

Great choice you made, Roger. It's nice to see your collection constantly expand with a wide variety of pieces. Any plans to take it diving soon?

Awesome choice! So are you going to keep it clean or allow the patina process to develop?

Something happened that caused me to want to shoot to the surface at about 70 feet (pressure related I assume). Same thing happened to my brother and he quit as well.

Hey Roger what's the weight like? It's 146 grams on the NATO and here are the rest of the specs from Helson...

Wow! That is exciting Roger. I know you were also looking at the Oris Divers 66 bronze. As much as I like the Oris, I think that this Helson is about the best bronze diver to be had. I have often looked at these online. I am really looking forward to seeing pics as the patina develops over time. Congratulations! Carl

Thanks guys. These Helsons are not for anyone who doesn't like a thick watch. They sit high in the wrist but they really nailed the hand/dial combination on these.
