Guess what watch and what configuration. There is no prize, just glory.


Me too. I just paid for mine this morning.

Just paid for an Orange Komodo this morning, just hit the lucky number lotto totally unexpected since I was way up there on that list. Am now #57 on Miyako so next month to decide Grey or Blue. Guessing you have an Orange Komodo too.

I’d like to extend an early congrats to our members for securing a Helm. I was a lottery winner a few months ago. It’s a GOOD feeling seeing that email. The Khuraburi Ti with a white dial is among my most favorite watches (and I own a few watches Wink).

The Komodo and Vanuatu are also fantastic watches but the Khuraburi looks incredible, feels great and is one of the lightest watches I own. This is interesting because it is nowhere near my smallest or thinnest watch.

Lastly, I adore the almost alien or out of this world dull/satin gunmetal finish that is different from all of my collection.

Helm = the best dive watch you can buy in the sub $500 category. It’s also one that will go toe to toe with watches costing 2-3x as much.

Thanks Stick.

I’m quite excited and I have the white dial Komodo on the way. Per their email last night, they expect to sip on/before 11/21.

Thanks Stick, I agree the Titanium Khuraburi is one of my favs too, Matt from Helm not only turns out a great watch but his customer service is top notch too. He responds to emails super quick and the only issue I ever had a shipping address he fixed it quickly. When I get my Miyako next month I will have the 4 Helms I wanted. Took about a year and a half but well worth it.

The white dial Khuraburi Titanium is my favorite as well. I like my Orange and my Black Komodos also, but the Khuraburi just works.

All 4 models look great, but the Miyako would be the one to get my $.
I prefer the slimmer indices & hands compared to the chunkier look on the other 3.

I got a new one in today!

Timex is really knocking it out of the park lately!

I have been buying any of the Marlins with Woodstock on them.

I got another microbrand coming in and Tabitha's son, who I gave my Phoibos to, now has discovered watches! He just ordered the two tone Phoibos Kracken for his birthday.

She arrived today. My first Helm:



The packaging, bracelet, and the watch are all exquisite. Still have the plastic crystal protector in place as just trying it on for size now.

I also got my Helm today.

It is a good watch at a very good price. Their service was excellent.





h2oys has good taste.

Just swapped out the fabric band for the steel band and it definitely looks different. I think I'm really going to like my new Helm Komodo

Those Komodos are looking great guys, still waiting on my Orange One, delay in shipping is what tracking is saying.


JHE888 is that stainless steel bezel special order, did not see that option, I like it looks really good.

You can buy that bezel as an extra. There are several options. You always get the black one.

The lume is incredible. Here is a quick pic after a short blast with a small flashlight:
