A revival of the Watch thread
With all this talk about Helms, she’s due to have her pic reposted



BTW, that’s Ollie sleeping in the background.

When I die, I want to figure out how much money I spent because of this forum.
Cool

^^^ so true, after all, I had never heard of Helm watches until this thread. Must admit though, the forum doesn’t steer you wrong!

More about Helm...

I just checked my place in line for the Miyako and I'm at #69. Shouldn't be too much longer before I get the email. I'll be selecting the blue dial.

Then checked status of the Vanuatu Titanium and I'm way down at #3328. That'll take a while...

Regarding their leather straps, they mention a tobacco and whisky color. I assume the tobacco is the lighter (tan) of the two? Anyone ever purchased one?

Goodness, y'all, Stickman has put another Samurai in front of me -- SRPL15.



Evidently this is a "mini-Sam," measuring in as a 42mm instead of the 44mm I'm used to. Same 4R35 movement, but with the date window moved to "4:30."

SRPL15 is one of three configurations (11, 13, and 15). Fratello has an article about them here. Oddly (for me), I almost like the red one (SRPL13).

I surely don't need another Samurai, but I'm very eager to see these new models in person.



Politicians seem to have forgotten that they work for us, not the other way around.

^^^ Nice addition. I also like the red one...though I see it as SRLP11. I've never owned a red dialed watch, but it is appealing.

The SRPL15 gets the nod from me, but would prefer it on a matching black bracelet
The red isn't bad, but not my favorite. Would love to see a blue of green option. Maybe an orange version of the 15...

Rogue: That's a nice looking watch! I really like the clarity and simplicity of the dial. Well done!
