Congrats on the new Skindiver. That domed crystal is awesome. What's the lug to lug length? With straight lugs it really seems to sit off the edges of the wrist more than other Helsons.

I agree Oscar, I think this is the best homage to the FF I've seen. Also, I think the quality of the Helson slightly edges out the MKII Stingray. The dial and case quality are about the same, but the lume on the Skindiver is MUCH better, and it's more accurate than the Stingray I used to have. My custom Stingray was +4 sec. out of the box. I've been timing my Skindiver for 21 hours, and it is still spot on with time.gov. Here's mine on an olive green zulu:  Last edited on Sat May 7th, 2011 10:59 am by clouser |

Wow I have to admit regret in not going after one of these. At first look it seemed too similar to the MKII Stingray I had and never bonded with on account of it being too sterile, cold, heartless. This certainly seems to be a warm organic homage to the FF with the double domed acrylic xtal and the psuedo aged ornge lume. Congrats to O and Brice and anyone else who snagged one!
