Agreed, that's why I bought the Skindiver the morning the shopping cart on the Helson site became live.

A lot of the watches have original parts, but the entire piece is not original
Example
http://cgi.ebay.ca/Jaeger-LeCoultre-...-/230617793885

Original Jaeger movement, but it's housed in a new custom case to convert the pocket watch into a wrist watch.
Also, the blue hands are new and custom.
The (seemingly) original dial was refurbished.


So you'll have to just read carefully and you'll find what you like

Great shot of the SubC

Here is a new p/u for me. Had the silver but couldn't bond. The gray dial is more me.
