greg_r 81 Posted December 17, 2009 The SMP seems to have the correct He placement...soooooooooo is it asian or ETA/clone and of course Doc, how much? noob question...what is a "He" ?................... The opposite of a "She" HE valve. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The opposite of a "She" HE valve. I must be an idiot....what is a HE valve? and what is it's fuction?..... It's a Helium Valve. When you dive, and fuck mermaid for too long time, you have to go back to surface veeery slowly, otherwise, your blood will boil, same with watch - you have to release helium gas. Here's more correct description: When commercial divers operate at great depths, they often spend prolonged hours in diving bells under pressure breathing a breathing gas mix like trimix or similar, that contain the gases helium or hydrogen. Since helium molecules are the second smallest and hydrogen molecules the smallest found in nature, these gas molecules are able to work their way inside the watch, around any o-rings or other seals the watch may feature. This is not a problem as long as the divers stay under pressure, but when the decompression stops during resurfacing aren't long enough, a pressure difference builds up between the trapped gas(es) inside the watch case and its environment. Depending on the construction of the watch case and crystal, this effect can cause damage to the watch, like making the crystal pop off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

houndoggie 58 Posted December 17, 2009 That bezel cutout is horrendous... and not easy to correct unless you want to go gen bezel insert.. and still not easy to correct. Check out my old UPO: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AllergyDoc 40 Posted December 22, 2009 That bezel cutout is horrendous... and not easy to correct unless you want to go gen bezel insert.. and still not easy to correct. Check out my old UPO: "Bezel cutout"? You mean the bezel is recessed, making the pearl stick out? Yours is one of the dials with the mis-spaced "12". The "1" on the "12" is to the right of the 59 minute tick. It looks like that's been corrected on my dial. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
