Omega PO He valve

In a gen PO the HE crown release the Helium when you are in deep diving.

Not entirely correct.. the Helium valve is used to release Helium from your watch is ever subjected to deep sea diving atmospheres such as hyperbaric chambers or diving chambers (don't know who said it.. but diving bells are NOT used in modern times) where the atmosphere would be heavily mixed with helium gas because Oxygen at high pressures below sea level is very narcotic....

helium is smaller than oxygen and therefore can seap into most seals of any watch.... the valve is designed to release this helium that seaps into the watch.

The He valve on your replica is for decoration only.

Be glad that your valve is closed. There are some members that lost theirs.

I have a PO From Andrew, I took the watch to my Watchmaster and he fix it, it will fall off and is not seal i can open it and close it.

I have use the watch at the poll and no problems at all.
