Helson sent a prepaid Fedex to take it back, however when it was returned to me,they filled out the customs form incorrectly. It wasn't marked up as a warranty return and so I was left with having to pay import duties and VAT for a second time! Helson wouldn't entertain refunding me for their error.
The watch was sorted and I like it but having to effectively pay for a warranty left a bad taste and I would not recommend Helson to anyone.
Got through to Helson on email and can confirm they are being dicks about the accuracy issue. The watch is brand new and they respond to my emails like the problem has nothing to do with them.
I could have a couple of wrongs here, along with route one wouldn't want to go down, but isn't the movement one of the cheapest? ~£30 so what's the cost of whole movement replacement
