Re: Helium Crown..

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

Since none of us seem to hear what you are hearing, I wonder if its possible that your helium release valve could have a problem? Of course its also possible that you have very acute hearing and listened in more appropriate conditions than we did.

: 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...
