Great to see some 3T'ers receiving their Helberg CH1 watches!

Loving mine right out of the gate...amazing case and sapphire bubble crystal, with great fit/finish overall! A completely unique piece that is going to be hard to fly under the radar with, unless you are wearing it under your sweater sleeve!

The lume performance is my only nit given BG W9 Superluminova on the spec sheet...I expected it to be brighter overall and the application is not completely uniform showing dim spots in the center of the circular markers. It does appear to be fairly long lasting, however, so that is a plus.

The piece is still truly amazing though...love the gutsy move from Clemens at Helberg in producing the CH1 inspired by the Rolex Deep Sea Special from 1960! Bravo! bravo.gif

Trust me, you don't own anything remotely like this one, especially if you went with the spherical bubble crystal!

Please post up pics of yours as they arrive!

Here's mine (this thing is a bugger to photograph due to that spherical bubble crystal...which I love!)
