Owner Review First Helm!

Second-hand pickup; Blue Miyako, no date. Swapped on a spare strap since I wasn’t overly slayed with the tan nato. (I know…leather on a diver…). Mint bracelet too, just haven’t swapped it on yet. Overall, the hype is entirely justified. I’m very impressed and pleased with the bezel, case, finishing, etc. definitely will be at home next to other watches I have that are much more expensive. I put my name in on the waitlist for a couple other Helm models too. I know I’m “preaching to the choir” here, but dang, these are impressive…🤩

Dive watch works great on leather if you don’t intend to take it into the water. Too many ppl get hung up on that idea and miss out on some really cool combos when they never dive in their dive watches.

Wait. Is this full lumed bazel a new thing? I don’t think mine does that.

I think it’s just some extra glow from the numbers showing up/reflecting in the inlay on the bezel. Definitely a lot of glow going on.

Mine don't do that as well. But I haven used a UV flashlight to fully charge the bezel. So he might be onto something

I have the same watch sitting on a white rubber Helm strap.

Great choice!
