I appreciate the styling won't be for everyone, what do you think of the quality of their pieces though please?

I've never owned one but have always been attracted to their products. I was speaking to the owner of the Phillipines distributor a few days ago (I had sold him a used Panerai some time before) and he said they've great watches and always sold out which is a measure of the brand.

I bought one, and was thoroughly impressed with the quality of the watch. It kept great accurate time, the lume was super, and it was solid as a bank vault. But its not a small watch. Here it is next to a Sea Dweller:



Dont hestitate as far as fit and finish, but be prepared for a biggish watch!

Hi, I bought a Helson off this forum and am very impressed with it, especially so considering cost.

I've had a couple and can't fault the quality v price, not quite up there with Precista/Smiths but close...





Peter Helson is a nice friendly chap to deal with too...
