Helson Shark Diver 42mm
Readers of worn&wound should be pretty familiar with Helson, a relatively young watch brand that we've had the chance of reviewing in the past��specifically the Sharkmaster 1000 and Skindiver. Both were handsome and able-bodied timepieces and our newest model in for review is no exception. The Helson Shark Diver comes in 42mm and 45 mm case sizes with bronze, titanium, stainless steel, and PVD coated stainless steel build options. In addition to the case designs, a bevy of color options and a choice of movements make this series of Helson watches accessible quality at different price ranges. These timepieces are built tough, easily readable, and combine tool functions with handsome aesthetics to make for a seriously nice piece of wrist candy.The model in for review today is the Helson Shark Diver 42 mm Stainless Steel 2824-2, a watch that sits nicely in the middle of the Shark Diver family of watches at both price point and spec design��with more expensive models being those with bro

IN THE SHOP: Twelve New Vintage Watches For Sale, Including An Amazing Tudor 7032 With Box & Papers, Tiffany-Signed Datejust, A Mono-Rattrapante Bovet, And More
It's that time of the week again, everyone! Yes, the HODINKEE Shop has been re-stocked with a dozen new vintage finds curated by the team here at HODINKEE. And as we said when we launched this initiative a few weeks back, what we've found for you are nothing if not honest, original examples of some truly special watches. Let's get into it. A 1940s Mono-Rattrapante Bovet Chronograph 1 OF 15 We'll start with one of the most fascinating watches of the lot – this Bovet Mono-Rattrapante. First of all, Bovet of the 1940s has very little, if anything, to do with the Bovet of today. Back then they were making elegant watches with classic designs and in the case of this wonderful Mono-Rattrapante, downright fascinating concepts. We all know what a rattrapante, or split-seconds, is, and all also know it is one of the holy grails of horology – a complication reserved for highest echelons of watchmaking, in particular back then!

Some questions about a rose gold speedster
I recently was given my fathers rose gold omega speedster broad arrow. I have absolutely no interest in selling it, as I am in love with it and it was a gift from my father. It is in incredible condition, on the original leather omega strap with 18k deployment clasp. I was just curious how much a watch like this would be worth, and where a good place to get it serviced in the future would be. Thanks!

The long wait begins
It's only June and I've already spent way too much money on watches this year...They are currently living comfortably in my AD's vault in a distant land, and I won't be able to see them until the end of the year when I finally have some time to visit. For now, I can only ask for pictures of my babies every once in a while...IMG-20140530-WA0003.jpgIMG-20140530-WA0000.jpgIMG_0026.JPGIMG_0017.JPG
