Description: For your consideration, Dr4 Watches has on offer a very cool and sold out Helson Skindiver classic automatic diver in the classic black dial and with Helson's own rubber strap and bracelet. This one is exceptionally versatile and striking whether it is on the Helson stainless steel mesh bracelet or the black classic pliable dive rubber strap option. If one is looking for an absolute perfect mechanical dive watch that can handle a variety of work or play situations then look no farther. This is a definitive "one watch" contender for a knowledgeable watch buyer seeking a strong value for less than $1K in an automatic, mechancial timepiece.As the reader probably knows, the Skindiver line by Helson aims to capture that classic retro dive charm with a modern and durable case construction, bezel and moveent. Mix this one with umbrella drinks or any scenic water views and it is in its natural habitat. The reasonably serious black dial and glossy, sharp bezel also works for any casual or corporate casual environment. Of course we are bringing the best value on the internet because we tirelessly source our inventory and inspect very closely upon receipt for quality and authenticity. We are extremely thorough in our listings and we still absolutely encourage questions regarding the timepieces. If you have questions regarding the specifications, provenance, history, etc., no problem. Just ask if you have a question! We only deal in 100% real watches because reputation is critical for us and in this industry in particular. We always have the inventory in our possession. We do not do the broker thing. The condition of this watch is as follows: Pre-owned ingood condition. I would rate this cool timepiece at 95%. Helson is a very interesting and under-appreciated watch maker. They focus primarily on super strong-value sport timepieces and focus most heavily on impressive spec dive watches that are striking and tremendous value. This particular timepiece, the classic Skindiver, is one of their more premium timepieces due to the strong water resistance (300 Meter = >150 Fathoms = Deeper than you will ever dive) and premium bakelite-ish bezel. Because we only want timepiece customers who are delighted with their purchase, we strive to add some additional insight to help you make a great timepiece decision. With that in mind, some additional considerations about this watch include: 1. This watch is medium-to-slightly large sized at 41mm and works well on any wrist except very small wrists. It brings a classic look and I can recommend this watch for most males or females. It is a solid modern classic size look for most men and a spirited, fun and sporting oversized look for most females.2. This is a no-nonsense, versatile classic dive watch with a fine Japanese Miyota 9015 automatic movement, wonderful dive bezel and tremendous visibility under all lighting conditions. The timepiece is currently running about 1 minute 18 seconds fast per 24 hours. This will not be an issue for most people and most applications as it is only 3 seconds per hour. With a power reserve of 42 hours, the wearer will likely be rewinding this a couple of times a week and in so doing resetting the hours, minutes and seconds to a reference time. 3. The watch is comfortable and between the strap options and bracelet it can handle up to an 8 inch wrist and the inclusion of the rather awesome Helson bracelet is a large part of the value proposition. Of course, this is a modern timepiece in all aspects but the design ethos has a cool, slightly vintage appeal --- a nod toward a simpler time in diving when the thought of a "diving computer" seemed as strange as putting a man on the moon. 4. The caseback has some nice engraving and proudly boasts that this is a 150 Fathoms water resistance reference. A diver could and should strap this on if you do some serious deep diving --- perhaps on the black rubber tropic strap. Use it to back up that dive computer and double check your decompression checkpoints just to be sure. 5. Visibility and wrist presence are the twin hallmarks on this one. Bold hands and large indices, with great lume, ensure maximum readability and frankly just looks cool. Check out the lume shots in the pictures provided! 6. A black dial, one of the more premium aspects of this particular Helson, combined with the premium shark and glossy bezel are the most noticeable and valuable features of this fine timepiece. These two features were no doubt key contributors as to why this one sold out so quickly upon release. 7. Rounding our the listing and the package is the full set and all of the elements included can be seen in the "everything picture." (Pic #2) We do not offer a warranty but will work with you to make any post-purchase repairs via advice on where to go and what to do (with no profit for us but paid for by you). Everything we sell is working fine for all functions when it leaves our facility (or more specifically the safe deposit box where our watches reside). In some cases, we can go back to our source and get the watch repaired for free based on our relationship and reputation. We should always be the first port-of-call if there is an issue. 100% delighted customers so far and we aim to keep it that way. Please examine the pictures, what you see is what you get. The only exceptions are the black case that we photoraph on and the English Bull Dog which we put in our group shots because we think it looks great. The Bull Dog is a James Bond tie-in and we kind of really like James Bond. And finally, we are an Atlanta based business but we also operate out of North Florida (some inventory in both places) as I like to include my brother in the business some. Thank you for your consideration, Steve
