Very cool, O. I like the numeral dial and as I told you I almost wish that was a choice with the orange dial. I think the SS bezel looks sweet on your variant.wowzer.gif

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.
