Helvetia History
·I could just add that another way Helvetia has been brought back is by a certain eBay seller who sells copies, and I use the term loosely, of military watches.
They have a copy of the Helvetia German army DH watch. I was quite impressed at how good a copy of the dial it was originally then looked closer and realised why; what they have done is print pictures of original vintage dials and case backs onto their dials and case backs so of course they look the same from a distance.
On looking closer I realised it wasn't just a picture of an original dial, I realised it was a picture of my dial from my watch that they have pinched from my site!
Have a look at the 1 in particular. I managed to find the original case back they copied online though it isn't mine.
I'll have to ask for a cut of the millions they are making!!
