    Enough of the damn Helson/Peter threads - sorry, rant content enclosed

    What is going on here lately? It seems like 1 in 5 new threads here are from someone saying thanks to Peter Helson for his superb products. WUS might as well just rename the dive watch forum to the Peter Helson love-fest forum. I realize there are a ton of people that love the brand and the service provided by Peter, but can you guys please limit the new Helson threads to content related to new designs, recent arrivals, reviews etc? If you're happy with the service he provides or you're gracious he gave you a free watch because you bought 20 others from him, then how about leaving feedback in the seller feedback forum where it belongs? If you're happy to be in the Helson club, then there is no need to create another thread..do a search as there is pretty much a club thread dedicated to to every Helson model under the sun.
    Sorry for ranting. I am just kind of sick of the lovefest going on here given there are tons of other terrific brands out there that are getting drowned out by the redundant Helson threads that seem to be multiplying exponentially.
    Rant over and no I'm not trolling..just expressing my humble opinion

    Bad day ?, need coffee ?

    There are many threads of other micros, for excellent CS & products. For buyers to see happy customers, leads to confidence in their new purchase Peter is a great guy, and CS is a main priority...something the "big boys" should learn.

    I don't own a Helson anymore, so I just don't click on the thread

    And, I'm just expressing my humble opinion.

    Lol...to be honest, when I first saw the "unofficial Helson watches supporters club" thread, I thought maybe they were shutting down the business or maybe there was a bad batch and a lot of people were complaining.

    Not hating...just thought it was a bit unusual to have a thread dedicated to sharing your experience.

    No, I am having a good day actually..just kind of tired of filtering through redundant content. It's annoying when I look in this forum and 10-15% of the new posts/threads are related to Helson content. I realize most think Peter makes a great product and has great support. I have owned a few and never thought the kool-aid was so sweet. But, it is annoying to have to sift through numerous similar posts to get to the meat of other more interesting posts.
    Maybe I am just jealous because I don't get the fascination with the brand. However, I am pretty confident that I am not the only one feeling like WUS is inundated with too much Helson content.

    Is it that unusual to have a thread dedicated to an experience or feeling? Isn't that what reviews, arrival threads, and opinion threads are?

    it is ironic that you posted a stop Helson post thread by posting a Helson thread. Aww, the power of Helson compels you!

    And now we have one more thread about Helson. Job well done sir.

    Helson makes a lot of watches I like and Peter is really responsive, but one poster has been annoying with the all caps crazy posts.

    It is kind of ironic now that I think about it
    Yes, I didn't want to call anyone out, but there have been some very annoying posts lately...hence my venting.
