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! 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! |

Hey Oscar my friend ! Big congrats to your newbie ! Great choice. The numeral dial looks really unique. With the alternate SS bezel my favorite !  Superb wrist shots buddy. Enjoy this sweet timepiece. |

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!  |

I haven't been paying much attention so I just learned about the Tortuga yesterday. The Arabic dial really spoke to me, and Oscar's pictures are the best I've seen yet! It'll be hard to resist getting one of these babies eventually. |

Love the variant with the arabics and black dial and as always your pix are drool worthy. I dare say this a quite a winner from Helson. |

Oscar!! Awesome pics of the fine looking Toruga there buddy. I've been tempted by this baby since you guys started posting pics on the Daily wrist show, this is definitely going to be my purchase for this year since i've set a goal to purchase 1 or 2 watches for this year.. The bad thing is that right now i'm a little tight moneywise and have a lot going on.. I'm going to try and sell some of my watches to fund this baby... In the meantime i'll be enjoying your awesome pics.. |
