  • If you love watches and you watch RUclips, you already know what this watch is. It’s not too often that one watch is praised by so many knowledgeable people, and honestly, it was kind of a red flag for me. Sounded like a lot of hype. So let’s take a detailed look at it and I’ll give you my honest feedback while we’re at it.
    Helm is still taking orders for all of their models, but expect around a two year wait at this point. Helmwatches.com

    Happy to hear that I am not alone in researching a watch for 18.9 billion hours of review videos

    Helm is a great watch and very underrated, in my opinion. Great video!!!

    I have three Helms. Vanuatu and two khuraburi. I gave one Khuraburi to my son and he doesn't take it off. My biggest problem is which one to wear, so I wear both every day. One in the morning, the other in the evening, and only the replacement of the leather fabric belt... everything suits them. It would be easier for me if they had one model. And waiting... Every second is worth it.

    Are you talking about the Seiko SRP313 at the end?

    I will get mine (titanium version) soon. Can’t wait. :D Wow. I was considering buying a Sinn U50. I thought the bad lume on my Sinn 556 A was because it is not a dive watch. But if the lume on their dive watches is also so bad, I should consider not buying it. O_o 🕐⚙️🍸

    Subbed! We at Harris watches from Germany have also just started. We are different though, one needs some sense of humor to come up with and appreciate a theme like we just did. But we had to.🙂Regards.

    This watch look amazing, thank you for the review, I have heard about the waitlist, I checked their website the owners claim that they are relocated directly in china to be near their suppliers.
    So, how the chinese can be so long to assembly watches?
    Something is not clear.
    Could be intentional to make people wait, I hope that I am wrong, but really it's will hurt to finance guys that use this kind of marketing trick

    Just got the Titanium version. I don't think I'm taking it off for the next few months (and I own like 50 other watches that I love).

    The spring bars are actually really easy to break. I broke 2 by pushing a tool into the filled lugs to remove. If you push too far the one spring breaks

    • @trailrunnermike

      One of the few brands that includes extra spring bars with the watch. You forgot too mention that. Nothing like being positive

    I got one. I waited so long on the list my taste in watches had gone way up in the two years or so that it was a bit of a let down by then. Nice and well made but...still a Seiko hearted microbrand. I sold it on straight away. No regrets other than I should not have bought it when my number came up but I was curious after so long.

    It's just average. Very average. Of course there are comparable watches at that price. I'm wearing one from San Martin. Had enough of this endless simping. Bye

      Just bought my wife the Pelegos San Martin and had to immediately ship it back for replacement as the movem didn’t wind. Overall I’m not impressed, it doesn’t even come close to my two Heimdllrr’s so I’ll take a chance since my number just came up on the waitlist, if I don’t like it I’ll sell it off

      What does any of that even mean? Endless simping by whom and for what?
