Crazy amount of blues here with the dial/ bezel/ lake and sky. iPhone doesn’t do it justice

I just put the titanium bracelet on the Helm Khuraburi Titanium, and absolutely love it. It’s so light that I forget I’m even wearing a watch. And this one isn’t at all subtle either; it makes a statement. The lume is top-notch and super bright, which I was expecting. It’s one of the main reasons that I looked at Helms from the start, and wow, does it deliver!

Having just received my first Helm watches - I was lucky enough to land three within weeks of each other - I am in awe of the quality of the lume and value of the brand. I’m a little concerned with changing out bezels after seeing a few posts of dinged Ti watch cases, but I’ll figure it out soon enough. Glad to be a member of the Helm fan club!

Share your favorite lume shots! I’d love to see others.

If anybody have them already, can you please share some pictures of them together? I am particularly interested in how the end link fits.

Thank you very much in advance!

I just saw this message on Helm's website. Does this mean that they're basically closing shop for a month, and therefore the wait lists will not be moving at all until the end of July?

Is this something that they do every year?

Love the color! Need to try the bracelet next.

I had a lot of trouble getting a proper all day fit with the Miyako, so I replaced the clasp with this ratcheting one. The end links on the Miyako are 18mm and 20mm, so I ordered some new links from Helm to make them both 20mm. The clasp and its mismatched end links are the only thing I don't really like about this watch, but it was a relatively cheap and easy issue to resolve.

glad i went white over teal

New arrival: Helm Komodo.

Bold. Purpose-built. Ready for adventure. 💛⌚

It was worth the 5 month wait for the watch.

But what really won me over is the team behind Helm watches, great customer service!

What I love the most about Helm watches is that you can completely change the look by swapping the bezel and the bracelet/strap. All steel look is my favourite and most of the watches has the option to buy the steel bezel. I regularly change the bezel on my steel vanuatu, komodo and khuraburi. I’m using a case opener knife, just like in their tutorial. But then this titanium beauty entered the picture this summer.

Helm claims the bezel removal and insert is challenging for this model, compared to the easy others. I can’t agree more. I managed to do 2 swaps, but I noticed it needed more force. I assume I had bent the Ti bezel the last time I removed, because when I tried to install it today, it was really tight and eventually stopped turning. It got stuck super hard. I could only remove it by basically butchering the watch and my hand with the tools. Luckily, the blue bezel still turning perfectly, but I lost my willingness to try with another Ti bezel in the near future.

Now, the watch is in fully functional condition with cosmetic damages. I keep the Ti bezel as a keychain. Both of these will remind me to trust the instructions and have tools matching the level of the challange.

Which one are you picking? I love them both.

Hi all. Just got my Komodo today. LOVE IT, BUT, I’ll be damned if I’m not gonna bust my fingernails off training to open the clasp on the metal bracelet. Is there a trick to this I’m missing?

My very first helm and I’m hooked. Waiting for some fortunate souls to bequest their miyako code to me so I’m not waiting for another year 🤣
