Really nice case, bezel and crown.ThumbsUp02.gif


But hand set and hour markers are don't look good for me.

The watch looks a little like the SEIKO 6105-8000.

I don't think Helson been trying to reinvent the wheel there: It's just a watch for those who like those old Seikos and the vintage cushion cases...
Also a watch of moderated size: 41mm will fit many smaller wrists who certainly are tired of all the big divers around.
It don't take much place and it's ready for the beating.
I like that it's a 9015 Miyota powering this new model: It gives a change from the classical 2824-2 eta who's met nearly everywhere.
Personally, the whole dial and it's fat hands are a good fit.
But it's a matter of taste. I guess this watch will find fast it's new owners...
