Hi Russ
Welcome to the forum, nice varied starter collection you have there too.

**Beeks** · 2nd December 2013, 23:48

Thanks for the welcome

May I ask why the thread reads from bottom to top? As in the replies to the OP appear above?

Takes a bit of getting used to!

**Velorum** · 2nd December 2013, 23:50

Welcome!

Interesting selection of watches your have there

**Beeks** · 2nd December 2013, 23:51

Ah it's ok, changed the forum settings and it's fine now :)

Yeah I'm at that stage where I'm trying different watches

I love the Zeros, just for the hand winding and the loud ticking..I find it therapeutic ;-)

The G-Shock I bought purely as a beater for work

The Hamilton I love, it's understated but has a nice wrist presence

As for the Helson, it's as good a FF homage as my budget will allow haha

**clemenry** · 3rd December 2013, 08:24

Welcome!

I am sure you will find all the information you require here, I too only joined yesterday after being a long time lurker and looking forward to getting stuck in.

Nice collection for starters

Welcome neighbour.
Interesting collection - at least two I don't recognise.
Look out for a get-together in Manchester soon. I'll link the post when I have a bit more time.

Welcome to the Forum.

Lots of friendly and useful advice available here for newbies and experienced watch enthusiasts.

I never realised that I was a watch collector till I joined the Forum.

Nice starter collection - enjoy them all.

**markosgr28** · 3rd December 2013, 17:43

Hello and welcome! Hamilton is really interesting! I like the Helson and G (my favorite in your collection), too!

**TakesALickin** · 3rd December 2013, 18:22

Welcome! I have that very same G - love the "flick of the wrist" illumination on that one.

**stan collector** · 3rd December 2013, 20:24

Welcome, I don't think you can go wrong with Helson or two in your collection.

**NenoS** · 3rd December 2013, 20:39

Goodness,you'll have to excuse me. Saw the username Beeks,immediately thought of Trading Places and before you know it had welcomed you to the forum. Apologies and welcome to the club Russ.

**estoban7** · 3rd December 2013, 20:54

Welcome to the forum Russ. Thats a nice collection, I do like that Helson.

That's one of the rarer Raketa Big Zeros

It's called the 'Proletarian' :)

**Beeks** · 3rd December 2013, 21:35

As for the Helson Skindiver..it's my clear fave, an awful lot of watch for the money..the build quality is phenomenal..mine is one of the first run and is numbered, also has the acrylic dome that later models don't have and it looks and feels better for it

The Lume is incredible too..like Seiko good, Lume it up at night and it's still going by morning

Welcome to the forum!
I must say, I also love that Helson! I have been wanting a FF homage for some time now. That Helson, it's a beauty... too bad they are all sold out! Keep yours in good health
