| That stainless steel version with the white dial, and blue lume is off the charts, and the black one is pretty much perfect also, come to think of it. It's NICE how Helson gives you a choice of ETA, or Miyota models too. They even have an IMPRESSIVE GMT !   http://helson-watch.com/bucc.html____________________________________  | |

No problem. Maybe Luke Skywalker will be calling you.

| Would you pay $150 more for a 25 Jewel Swiss ETA 2824-2 automatic black date wheel - power reserve 40 as compared to a 21 Jewel Miyota 8215 automatic
winding - date indication - power reserve 45
Everything else is the same... ____________________________________ | |

| I have seen some "non-company" shots of this one and wasn't too impressed. But that could just be my taste, so you can disregard.
I would not pay $150 extra for the ETA movement. The Miyota is a reliable workhorse and seems to be working very well for a multitude of microbrand watch companies. I know that my Moray was very accurate. JMHO

| I think this was the one that I didn't care for...there is something about the color of the dial/hands or something.

I like that one... ...but like the JET black better. That light blue is kinda trendy (oh crap, site color...LMAO)! ____________________________________ | |

| Uh-oh...I like the white dial with blue markers as well...especially since I don't care for the name of the watch — Shark Diver — which stands out too strongly on the black dial........

| Just the same old watch case and plongeur hands everyone else is using. I kind of like it but am surprised some of you do. | |
