Tortuga #18 black dial/numerals checking in...absolutely awesome imho...Mark covered it all in his impressions and I couldn't agree more...another winner from Helson.
...a few pics with the black lumed bezel and faux Isophrane ...I have it on the  alternate SS bezel(bidirectional/ratcheting) and optional leather strap which I like quite a bit...love the skull & crossbones on the caseback,packaging,buckle and strap...sweet lume!

The best looker in this Helson serial after my meanings: So you have good taste Oscar!toon1.gif
Wasn't hooked by the orange/sub-markers but like better this one...Didn't checked all models previously in fact.
Now, looking side by side those bezels, I can't decide wich is best...
The orange markers on the steel bezel fits well with the minute hand.
Congrats!

I was sitting on the fence with orange dial or black numbered dial ... I think your pictures says it all. 

I might have to pick me up this version of the Tortuga too

Well *#$@ !!!!...that is freakin' HOT looking Oscar!!!26.gif

I have really been trying my best to not jump on one of these Tortuga's from Helson...trying to be "good" on the acquisition front, and take a little break you know...and shots like this are not helping me say no at all!!!subtlelaugh.gifhammer.gif

Absolutely incredible...looks great on both the rubber and Helson leather straps...both bezels look sweet too!thumbsup.gif

Enjoy this sweet "vintage" looker!!!

Hey Oscar,
I think that's part of the issue...your 'wrist shots' are so good, that they make me want the other model. Had you taken the pictures with the orange dial, I'd want that one! Face it, I'm an addict...I just want the next cool item, and it's easier to get in watches, than women!wowzer.gif
