That waterproof thread is "interesting" but it still wouldn't deter me from buying any of Peter's offerings

Yup.Wannabe,farcical trolls not withstanding, I love and stand by my Helson watches.

I've just placed an order for a black dial C3 lume steel Shark Diver. I'd looked at these for quite a while and the many pictures in this thread swung it for me (despite the 'waterproof' debate very recently).

Looking forward to adding this to my recent Skin Diver purchase.

Big Congrats and don't forget to post your wrist shots...

It has completely put me off - I really wanted a titanium shark diver, but if a dive watch can't even get being waterproff right, where else is the quality going to be poor?

A real shame really.

Peter updated his website with the statement pasted below:

"Because of the recent rumor in some watch forums
we want to assure that each single watch is pressure tested to the water resistance stated on the dial.
Pictures from underwater test will follow at the end of the week.
In case of issues, all watches are covered by a warranty and we stand behind our products."

Well, everything made by man will break or have a few "turkeys" I don't know what else to say... good luck in your search

Well it's really a shame you feel that way. I have 3 Helsons, and I enjoy them tremendously.

I have to agree with Trinity. I have 3 Helsons and have been very happy with the watches and the service from Peter.
He claims to pressure test each watch and I take him at his word.

1 complaint, 5bajillion rabid followers... I think the math here is on Helson's side.

the unfortunate truth is, someone runs into a theater screaming 'fire', most will not stay long enough to smell smoke for themselves...
