What time is it? Watches and horology

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.

Do you want a bed by the window..........?

Dummy question; why are Tag Heuer quarts watches so expensive? Is it some fancy kind of quarts movement or is it just because of the brand name?

Because generations of Home Counties schoolboys have grown up thinking they’re the pinnacle of style

Arguably, the ridiculousness is not in having two of the same brand, it is in having more than one watch. Fortunately we're all happy to be ridiculous here :)

Happy Helson day and 'grats to you and @CitizenTomatio !

NWD here too... reveal on Friday. 👀

That’s rather nice, don’t think I’ve seen that model before. Is it new?

No. There's a week on the wrist article from 2011 so it's been around a while.

I think the blue dial is fairly recent and it's gone through some updates; better dial markers, in house movement etc.

Nice! I like the date wheel

Isn’t that the home time?
