Re: Helium Crown..

In Response To: Re: Helium Crown.. ()

Thanks for comment.
Matter of fact, I do not pretend to use the HRV. (Im just a plain scuba diver).
But, according to Omega (their instruction manual)
the watch will still remain water resistant, when the helium valve is opened. But different recommendations from people suggest vast differences regarding this issue.
Hence, I will certainly not take any risk opening it while having any water near the watch.

Yes, as the instruction manual shows a picture of the inner part of HRV, there is a small spring present. Perhaps the "sratching "sound has its origin here...
