Review: Helson Skindiver
You can't talk about the Helson Skindiver without talking about the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms. This isn't just because it is essentially a replica (aesthetically speaking) of the original Fifty Fathoms, it is because the Fifty Fathoms is amongst the most important watches of the 20th century. Heck, I'd go so far as to say it is one of the great pieces of product design of the 20th century.? Knowing the history the Skindiver is paying tribute to greatly increase ones appreciation for the watch since you will see it as more than a vintage styled diver, you will see it as an icon of watch making.Case: 316L Surgical Stainless SteelMovement: ETA 2824-2 25 Jewel Automatic w/ DateDial: Black w/ White indexesLume: C3 LumeLens: Double Domed AcrylicCase Back: ScrewdownStrap: Rubber Tropical Strap + Nylon NATOWater Res.: 200mDimensions: 41mm, 52.35mm lug-to-lug,Thickness: 14.5mmLug Width: 20mmCrown: 7mm screwdownWarranty: 1 yearThe Fifty Fathoms was designed based on the needs of Captain Robert "Bo

3570.50 or 3573.50?
G morning boys- I'd like to add a manual chrono to my modest collection. Of the two choices, ignoring the price difference, which is the most desired by the Omega aficionados? I've looked at both and can't make up my mind. The domed Chrystal and engraved caseback is cool and retro while the display back is also cool. Thanks in advance!

Panerai's with Sweep Second hands
Panerai's with sweep second hands are quite unusual with the brand. Normally when Panerai's show seconds it is a subdial. I noticed recently that the 63 has sweep seconds that work full time. I've seen some of the chronographs look like they might have sweep seconds but unless you examine them up close it is hard to tell.Other than the 63 and chronographs are there any Panerai's that have sweep second hands? Please respond if you know of any and I would love to see any pictures. Thanks much.

312 vs 233 Service cost
Hi,I've never owned a Panerai but I'm contemplating about purchasing the Panerai 312 vs 233. I've read many of the threads about both of these beautiful pieces and the pro's and con's about both of them. However, I couldn't find information about the cost of servicing them. Like Rolexes and Omega's, does Panerai recommend getting these watches serviced every 5 years?
