I still dont see it but oh well it looks GREAT

This Zenith has same case form and same bezel mounting Will...With the screwed inner-bezel

The Zenith wrist shot is deceptive. If you look at my original post on the Zenith (http://timetechtalk.com/forum2/22551.html), you can see they have a very similar case shape. Obviously, there are some small differences (angle of lugs, lug width, dimension of inner bezel lug, etc), and the Helson seems closer to the 2002 Squale re-issue than the original 1960s divers, but certainly fits as an "homage."

I took a bunch of comparison shots last night, but didn't get a chance to upload them yet. If work doesn't keep me here all night, I'll throw them up in a new arrival post.

I see it now I looked up your original new arrival thread, pretty cool, Peter's throwin' out some SICK Shyt lately, kudos to him

Hey Brother Will BloMe

These Tortugas are very tempting. I was checking out one used on WUS. I also like his three hand Bucaneer. Great products!!
