My Helson Buccaneer has just landed, Peter Helson shipped it on Friday from Hong Kong, just been delivered by Fedex!

Much better than I anticipated!!

Image

I was also lucky to grab this Limited Edition number too......................

Image

The obligatory wrist shot

Image

The leather strap is great too, 24mm all the way down!

Image

Nicely brushed buckle with the skull and crossbones logo

Image

Detailing carried through on the case

Image

Nicely finished with space for two watches

Image

The second bezel and additional rubber strap

Image

I'll let you know how it wears in over the next few days.

Stef

I really like that watch, I was thinking of getting one but I'm gonna go with an Oris instead, pretty sweet you got number 100 also. Can you get a wrist shot from a bit further back?

ARRRRRRRRRRR! Stef!

Nice addition to your collection! That must be a large watch knowing your wrist size is approx. 7.6"ish

It wears bigger Al, it's only 45mm I think but with the 24mm strap looks bigger.

Thanks, very cool looking. Have you tried the all steel bezel yet? I personally think it looks better with the blue but it's pretty cool you have the option. Make sure you let us know how you like it after a while.

Oh come on, that's an absolute classic joke! :D

Reminds though of a true story my dad once told me. When he was a teenager he went to the cinema with a few mates to see a pirate movie, and at one point in the film one of the characters on screen (who has just boarded a ship) shouts out, "Where's your buccaneers!?". At which point one of my dads mates shouts out, "They're on your buccin' head!" :lol:

(PS - Sorry for the hijack Stef)
