That looks cool Mike, so does it need to be serviced or anything like that?

That is a really really clean watch. The case looks perfectly sharp and the dial is great as well. Nice pickup for sure!

Nice Helbros.

Although I have a large wrist, I like 38mm vintage divers. I have a few and find that they wear well, especially on Tropics and NATOS.

I like that one. I don't think I have seen anything like it with the numbers in the lume plots. Very cool.

there are a number of vintage dive watches from that era with the triangular lume plots with numbers inside. along with this one, in particular, you could look at zodiac or some of the eterna kon tikis.

Miss it dearly and still check with the buyer periodically across seas if it's for sale.
