Derek my friend, I have a bone to pic!

Hi Derek,
Sorry to sound pedantic, but in your 'New Models Gallery' you have listed the new regata racing edition of the new style SMP America's Cup chronograph (a lovely looking watch, may I add!) Next to the picture you have listed the functions of the watch, and among these is listed a helium release valve. However, if one looks at the pictures of this model (and I have) it is apparent that there is no HRV. Now, I could be mistaken as Omega may have changed the design to one more like the Rolex Seadweller's intergrated release valve (It doesn't stand proud of the watch case) and if this is the situation then I stand corrected. Sorry again to sound picky, just thought I'd mention it.
Thanks for all the help that you have provided, and continue to provide through your wonderful site.
Best wishess,
Duncan Casey.
