What am wearing today? My Seiko Turtle "Blue Lagoon" with a Strapcode Jubilee bracelet. I love the color, and the very subtle sunray dial.

Those Vaer watches are sharp!

JHE888 that’s one of the best dials for the turtle. Fantastic bracelet choice!! I have the samurai version and have been QUITE tempted to put the date only samurai dial into a turtle.

Anyone else get the email from Helm? An orange Komodo is in my future!!

My order is complete! Now the waiting begins....

Personally I'm still waiting for an email and I was #2179 on 8/13. Do you mind sharing what number you were?

What number were you? As I recall, I am 30XX or so. I figured it would be sometime in mid 2022 for me.

I will order a white Komodo.

I filled it out in December of 2020 but they mention on the website that they also do a lottery so I believe my name was drawn from the lottery since I was probably way back in line. I went back on my email and can’t find a number.

I got an email from Helm that said within 7 days I would get another email and that I had an opportunity to buy a Komodo. Once I got the 2nd email and put in a password I would have 48 hours to make the decision to buy.

I decided to get this one.

I don't recall my number and their check system had been down lately, but I thought I'd get an email.

Congrats Stick.

ALL ABOARD!

1910 Ball Official Railroad, Model 1899-19j

This matches with my Hamilton Railroad Grade.

Whoa....that is a super cool watch!

Congrats Marzy!

^^Looks like a Marathon JDD. Nice.

The Quartz version is my next acquisition.

In anticipation of a new arrival from Helm, my Vanuatu got some love today. It’s such a cool watch. With elements from Sinn & Marathon it’s one of my favorites and really gets pampered considering it’s an absolute tank of a watch.


I found a neat Tudor that has inspired me to build a Seiko with a similar color combo. I’m going to use the new Seiko 5 Sport golden SRPD dial/complete movement (since it’s a 4R36 movement) and swap it into a Turtle or SKX with the gilt (black & gold) bezel insert along with a sweet laser etched chapter ring. I think it will look cool. I might even use a samurai case or 62mas case.

This is the inspiration.

Loving the markers and hands on that Helm, stickman.

Hey, did you get a message from our favorite watch lady about Watchtoberfest?

Nah. I’m not enough of a high rolling VIP to get invited apparently.

Anyone here do business with Long Island Watch Company? Would you recommend them?

Yes! Long Island Watch is legit. I’ve done business with them many times. Buy with confidence. Marc is a good dude & true watch enthusiast.

A big YES on Long Island Watch

What are you looking at?

I've been looking at the Marathon GSAR anthracite version. I asked because I thought bonuses were dropping today. I was wrong. Going to have to wait some more.
