HauteHippie Posted April 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 Its ALOT less flashy Chief - mainly all brushed surfaces with matt black dial etc.....But if youre looking for a cool tool watch then this is the way to go...... HOWEVER, before you plunge for a Helson, check out Zenton watches........VERY similar design but I personally like them better...... Hmmm, from what I can see on zentonwatch.com they look very interesting indeed. I don't see anything for sale yet, though. Have you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, sorry Chief, havnt had any contact with Zenton.........They come on a bracelet which is pretty cool, I asked Peter to design a bracelet for the Helson too.....I think he might be working on a 3-link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HauteHippie Posted May 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2010 OK I really dig the Zentons. Michael sent a list of custom hand and dial configurations, and this one has spoken to me: Here's more info from Michael: You can custom configure to your liking: You get a leather strap, a black rubber strap, and the bracelet in a nice box - Some of the options in the flesh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patinga Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 All very nice watches. Was anybody going to comment on the photo of in the first page with the chick/dude with the rack and the shark? Or is it like the 800LB Gorilla in the room; you know its there, but if you ignore it maybe it will go away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronin Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 I love the look of the Helson. Only issue for me is @ 45mm x 18mm high that thing is going to stand off and be a bit top heavy. I fear, minimum wrist size to get away with this is 7.25 and larger. The Zenton reminds me of many of the Seiko "Mods" available. Good stuff either way.

OSRep Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 For Chief! I still prefer the Zenton though....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member X Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 Awesome, I'm seriously into blue and white at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HauteHippie Posted May 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 I keep going back and forth between the Helson and the Zenton. Now I don't like the Zenton that I thought I did!! Back on Helson... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panoris Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 I like the Helson quite a bit. Might be getting a Marathon SAR first though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
