What time is it? Watches and horology

Sold

It's a beautiful watch but I suspect it'd be a little small. What do you want for it?

um hello - its on my shortlist of dream watches, price though?

@Dammit @apc PM'd you guys.

New watch day! Arrived via FedEx don’t appear to have been charged anything by customs but imagine I might get some less welcome post soon.

Was worried the 38 might be a bit small compared to the 42 but in think it’s spot on. Still a hefty lump even in Ti very glad I didn’t go for the steel version.

Came in a nice little watch roll. They seem to have done away with the plastic tube they used to use.

That's banging!

Looks good!
Do you have a 42 too?
If yes, care to do a side by side?

I think it’s spot on too, looks nice and beefy! Enjoy.

That is nice. Helston do make some good chunky boi watches.

Thought the 38mm look big when you first post it, until that behemoth!

Nice! Mine arrived a few days ago and I didn't have to pay any tax either.
38mm looks perfect👍

Cheers!
I'm with Ed on this, on its own it looks like a brute, but next the the fatboi, it's positively svelt!

Very nice, did nothing the quell my want of the Ti one.

Early dibs if you decide t move it on in the future!

Mine also arrived on Monday.
I went for the steel and was also worried the 38mm would be too small, I really wanted the 40mm but wasn't in stock. I'm really enjoying it though. I don't have any other watches on a bracelet so it could be that but I'm liking it more and more.

I realised the dial is actually bigger on the bigger sizes so it still look in proportion.

Now I want a 38mm seeing how your and @magpie look, I like the ti look for an understated look, but now your steel look equally as good.

That looks really good

I'll post a side by side of my 40 and 45.

Helson Sharknasters are awesome watches.

Sharknasters is definitely a better name!

I really am getting old. Getting my words muddled.

I do feel ridiculous having two when I only have a few other watches. At least I’m not the only one.

I just love the style of them though. Not derivative well made and good value.

I wish now I could’ve got the bronze in the smaller size but they weren’t making them in 2013.

When you found a brand you like, its easy to buy more of them. Thats the point. Also its good to support them as a brand. Win win.

I have numerous Steinharts because i like the styling (even if they are close homages), and theyre well made.

When I bought my first one in 2013 I'm pretty sure people on this thread ripped on it for being a sub copy. Seems crazy now!

Just make sure that if you have to send a watch back to Helson for warranty, they fill in the customs form correctly when returning it. Last summer I had to pay import duties twice on one watch! Helson apologised for their mistake but didn't reimburse me. Bastards.

I've wanted to buy one of these for about 7 years and just haven't done it. Stupid watches but its getting to the point that I can't ignore the voice in my head.
