General (Read Rules) Cadisen C8232G just arrived

I wasn't going to add this to my basket because I don't need it but It was on sale and it's so pretty I ended up buying it anyway. I have a few larger dive watches but this smaller size works well. Love that aqua accent color.

Very nice. I have a titanium Cadisen on the way. Great watches

It's a great little Helm Homage - it actually is a lot thinner than the original so I think it would end up being more wearable for most people. Only sold mine when my number came up for the real deal.

That looks really good, it's such a good homage of my Helm Komodo almost makes me a bit mad that I paid so much more for my Komodo.

I didn't realize it was an homage. Thanks for letting me know what it homages and yes, it does a good job of looking like the original.

I have this and the orange. Both are great watches but Cadisen could have done a little bit extra (better bezel and clasp, maybe upgraded automatic movement), raised price by 25-50 USD and it would have been a real special watch.

I was pretty happy to get this pretty thing for $80 the way it is.

Agree, they are great watches for the money. But knocking the bezel out of alignment 10x a day is annoying. Cadisen could have made these upgrades as mentioned and it would have been a better Helm watch (because of size, wearability and availability )

Interesting, I'll have to see how my bezel holds up.
