路You've been scammed. If you actually had helium in that balloon, your scale would show a negative number. Hopefully you paid with paypal and a credit card so that you can get your money back.
Big problem with helium escape

路Look, I'm getting really sick of all these soft-science answers, a lot of misinformation being disseminated in this thread! I want you all to know, as a lab coat wearing member of the science community, that I've drilled another hole in my watch to let the escaped helium back inside. Helium molecules are like homing pigeons, they return to the roost. You just gotta leave the ol porch light on for them if you know what I mean.
Thanks for the tip Sheldon.

But I have a Mercedes! And won't that run the battery down?

There could/should have been more restraint from high post count members in the beginning. Letting the bait dangle for a bit longer. On the other hand it got the ball rolling and it was fun anyway. And at least some took the bait the way intended (OF-grooming strategy level no 1 - embarrassement). I am now contemplating a piece about the lume patina conspiracy (not the the lunar...) for a broader public. It involves solar storms, Italian Rolex collectors, Illuminati (same as the one before), Donald Trump and some very fine Swiss cheese.

I'm sure everyone knows that they insisted on a hesalite crystal because sapphire might shatter, and they also wanted a manual wound watch because they knew an automatic wouldn't work in space, but there must be much lesser known facts that the speedmaster experts on the forum can shed some light on.

Like NASA originally wanted the watch to be made of Swiss Cheese (like the moon is)?

路Or that Speedmasters don't actually exist - they're a conspiracy between the CIA and Stanley Kubrick to bankrupt Russian watch companies!
Open your eyes, sheeple.

Dude, if you had posted that about pink gold Grand Luxe constellations you could have pulled it off because they're made from unobtainium. Speedmasters, on the other hand, are made from recycled items like newspaper, old eye glass lenses, and cans so therefore are ubiquitous.

路I think for the benefit of the new members on the forum we should have a discussion about the features that NASA specified when they asked Omega to design and manufacture a chronograph capable of being worn on the moon....
it had to be capable to withstand the heat of charcol while astronauts flipped burgers on the moon...

If making a pentagram on the caseback of a Speedmaster you get the letters anhpacdoiotcoheor inside the pentagram points.
Spell that backwards and you get:
roehoctoiodcaphna
Roeh oct o iod caphna
Roeh is the seventeenth letter in the ancient Greek alphabet and means 100.
oct is latin for times
o is latin for and
iod Greek for more
caphna is ancient latin for drop
100 times and more caphna
Caphna means drop as in water drop and the Hebrew word for drop is Nataf.
100 times and more Nataf
And people talk about conspiracy theory
Take theory and say it fast and it sounds like Thierry.
I say no more...

路路schizophrenic pizza orderer and watch collectorReal reason why NASA picked the Speedmaster
The Master Speed ( poem )
No speed of wind or water rushing by
But you have speed far greater. You can climb
Back up a stream of radiance to the sky,
And back through history up the stream of time.
And you were given this swiftness, not for haste
Nor chiefly that you may go where you will,
But in the rush of everything to waste,
That you may have the power of standing still-
Off any still or moving thing you say.
Two such as you with such a master speed
Cannot be parted nor be swept away
From one another once you are agreed
That life is only life forevermore
Together wing to wing and oar to oar
by Robert Frost

You could go on and on like that and write a book and MANY people would buy it !
Then they would craft a religion out of it. Well done !

The dark lord Thierry Nataf already have his own religion and a cult following him. Before finding out the pentagram riddle I just did not know he had his evil eye pointing at Omega. For a long time I have suspected it though as the modern Speedmasters have gotten uglier and uglier - thus bearing his unmistakable mark of antimateria and evil.

At least @Superdoc gets to keep his shirt on at Omega events...馃槜
