FOR REPAIR – while the day and date wheels roll over as they should, the seconds hand will move occasionally when setting the time and the crown can be wound without issue, the movement does not run. Considering that it’s likely that the movement has never been serviced a complete overhaul is required. This Helbros diver has a blue satin “GERMANY” signed dial that has aged naturally and uniquely. The way the dial has aged is not the result of water damage but rather due to a defect in the paint. I’ve had a number of Tudor’s that have aged in a similar fashion. In my humble opinion I think the dial is awesome and looks much better in person than in the pictures. The original lume on the dial and hands, which remains fully intact and emits a short-lived glow after being exposed to bright light, has aged beautifully. The bezel, which rotates smoothly bidirectionally, shows wear. The all stainless steel case with lugholes is in wonderful condition showing minor wear, no visibly noticeable dents or dings and no signs of oxidation. The outside of the case back is stamped “ALL STAINLESS STEEL WEST GERMANY” while the inside of the case back is stamped HELBROS WATCHES. The crystal shows light scratching. The 17 jewels unadjusted “GERMANY” and “HELBROS WATCHES” stamped PUW 1564 automatic movement with quickset date function appears to be in untouched condition. The quickset date function works flawlessly by pressing in on the crown. Given that the movement does not run and considering that it likely has never been serviced (there are no visible watchmaker service markings on the inside of the case back or on the movement), a complete overhaul is required. This watch measures approximately 38 mm excluding the crown, approximately 41 mm including the crown and approximately 19 mm between the lugs. Case thickness, measured from the bottom of the case back to the top of the bezel, is approximately 9 mm. Including the crystal thickness measures approximately 10.5 mm. Given that the movement does not run and considering that it likely has never been serviced a complete overhaul is required. As such there are no warranties, express or implied, attached with the sale of this watch. Vintage means old and while my personal belief is that old-school means better quality and workmanship, things can and do go wrong from time to time. For this watch that time is now. Any servicing costs going forward are your responsibility. And please study the 12 high magnification pictures carefully, which were taken in natural light and from various angles, as they are part of the description and serve as an accurate representation of the condition of this watch.
