What a beauty, Oscar. Your pix, as usual, do all the talking. I love it as it is and really confusing whether to go C3 or orange but that there is sheer perfection. Peter has become the horological virtuoso that he really is.

Enjoy it in good health for a long time, amigo

TY Jeff!,this one is the orange no date,my pics don't really show how well the orange plays as patina due to the direct sun today(something we haven't seen for weeks here)...but you can see it glows in C-3 green...so I think regardless of choice they will all look great...the bezel markers are patina'd quite nicely!ThumbsUp02.gif

Very sweet Oscar...my love.gif...and as always your pics have really captured how beautiful these turned out (Peter continues to hit them out of the park!!!).

Just love all the little details that went into this sweet looking homage.  All the vintage elements are there, but the thing clearly has a fantastic modern build with excellent finish and materials that we've come to expect from Peter at Helson.

Congrats and enjoy this newby!!!!thumbsup.gif

Blancpain Fifty Fathoms (the early vintage one, circa late 50's to early 60's I think...the very first FF as far as I know, as the first one had the 3-6-9-12 dial)...

One thing that stands out on this stunning watch is the 002 stamp. I really like that as it makes quite a statement and looks great. That really is a sweet watch and I know nothing about the 50Fathoms I am just judging it on its own...
