The Gauge #2/25 LE surfaced and it is awesome imo!...light and comfortable,very legible,and most of all very unique!...lume is remarkable!...the red tipped second hand is a very nice addition to a very cool dial,saph crystal amazing!...and the overall fit & finish is what has become expected of Helson...flawless!....adjusting the time and winding may be a challenge for guys with sausage fingers but by following Peters instruction was quite easy imo...and strap changes are a breeze with the single threaded lug screw.  ...this may be a watch for my Orbita as I see myself wearing it often...like Peter said "not a watch for everyone" but for this WIS it is just what the Dr. ordered to break up the monotony this hobby sometimes brings...

First of all, VERY nice pics, as always! Really cool to finally see some actual wrist shots of this TANK. And though I still think it´s a bit tall, it´s definitely unique looking, and cool. (much awaiting its smaller brother) Can actually feel my self warming up just a bit towards this one, at least after seeing your pictures Oscar. Will be interesting to see how that raised crystal will hold up over time, scratch-wise I mean. Rolf

TY Guys...The Gauge is like a hot tub(looks like 1 too)... looks inviting enough to try it and feels even better once your in! ...the huge sapphire crystal is top shelf..those who are getting a Gauge will agree that it is a superior sapphire..I have no worries in that dept. as far as scratches...the bronze bezel ring appears to carry on through the watch and looks very wide under the magnification of the beveled edge of the crystal...very cool imo!  ..the monobloc case can only be described as "smooth"...simply simple yet highly functional!

Pretty amazing looking, your actual photos do it far more justice than the earlier renderings. The dial is very unique and easy to read. That is an amazing cyrstal on it. I would love to own one, just bad timing for me. Congrats Oscar, truely a unique timepiece!!

I would've thought this sucker was going to be just ridiculous, but it actually looks pretty darn wearable. No doubt a unique timepiece. Looks to be solid as a rock! Enjoy buddy!

TY Guys...it's very wearable and in my pics the crown is out...when it is in it is flush with the case and the Gauge takes on a different look...I had 2 people ask me today "how do you set the time and wind it"...it has that "instrument" look,which the dial and hands convey as much as the case with it's bronze bezel,crown and He valve..well done Peter!
