That’s a stunner. Think I might be becoming a GS fanboy.
DO IT! they check all the boxes.

Movement
Price point = Very approachable
Finishes
Dials etc…

If your collecting this is a must have in your watch roll.

I’m on to #2 from them. So this may end up going up on the Market soon.

Don't know a lot about the brand. Keeps time well. Love the "lollypop" second hand. Does have small radium "dots" around the dial marking every five minutes/seconds. Do not wear often so do not keep up with the day numerator....

Helbros is a brand I remember growing up. Started in the early 1900s, it was bought by Elgin in the mid 60s. It produced quality watches until the 1970s when accurate and inexpensive quartz watches from Japan forced it out of business. Today its quality pieces are becoming collector's items. The iconic Mickey Mouse watch is one of those, along with Helbros non novelty and quality watches.
