In my opinion the HELM Vanuatu punches well above its weight. What other dive watches are their that offers so much value for their pricepoint? I would like to hear your thoughts. All the best, Dick
I'm on the waiting list for the Ti and I've been watching some reviews over the past couple of years. This is the best Helm Vanuatu Ti review on UA-cam so far. Keep up the good work!
Since i got it has be almost daily wear, and on helm paratrooper strap. Didnt even notice but this brings even more similarity to Pelagos, great comparison.
Thank you for watching Kenan! Sorry, don't understand it entirely, but are you a paratrooper? Sorry if i misunderstooth, but the HELM would be a good and tough compagnion for the mission. Stay safe and wear it in good health. All the best, Dick
Thank you for watching! The tolerances on my Vanuatu Ti were solid. No play or whatsoever. But this can vary from one watch to another. Maybe one series is slightly different than another series that was produced in another year. Hope this helps. Did you also try to wear it on the black nato? For me the design really came alive with the black stealthy look.
Well, it is cheap - and it certainly looks cheap. Yet again: Affordable Tudor alternative? No, affordable Tudor copy. Compare it to some other cheap junk in the same price range
Sorry, can't agree on the fact that a Vanuatu is cheap junk or a copy and find your observation quite harsh to be honest. Just to clarify, the Pelagos and the Vanuatu are very different dive wathes with different designs, specifications and pricepoint. But for the watch enthousiasts that doesn't have a Tudor budget or are not willing to pay that much for a dive watch, then the Vanuatu could be a great alternative in my opinion. But let me know what you would suggest as a great dive watch with awesome specifications and/or original looks for just under $300,- Would love to hear your thoughts. All the best, Dick
I have two HELM watches in my own personal collection and both align perfectly with great bezel action. These are overbuild and everything is aligned perfectly, also the date. But sorry to hear that your experience is different. Have a great weekend 🌞 Dick
Really? That leads me to believe you don't actually own one. If your date wheel was misaligned their customer service would have handled it. And the bezel misaligned is a stupid simple fix considering how easy it is to remove the bezel and tweak. Definitely overbuilt. Definitely quality. In 20+years of collecting I haven't found anything better at 300$

Very well done video! Subscribed!
Thank you! And thank you for your support 😊
Not my glass of wine, but I agree it's quite impossible to find a better deal than this.
Nice channel. Have subbed. The HELM Vanuatu is one of my all-time favourites. Nice review :)
Thank you! Appreciate it 😊
285 is for the stainless steel, 350 for the ti. But still great value

@@DutchWatchChannel It was typo, I wear it with helm paratrooper strap, similar to how pelagos FXD is worn
@@kenanpopovcevic1075 Ah gotcha 😅 Sounds like an awesome match 😎
Have you noticed any looseness where the end links fit the lugs? Not sure if it's a titanium issue in general for all Vanuatus or just my watch.

@@DutchWatchChannel I did, I loved it on the NATO too! I might also buy the oyster titanium bracelet for it, that looks good too.
Mooie review, ik heb net de mail gekregen dat ik "mag" bestellen en twijfel een beetje!
Hey Frank, bedankt voor het kijken. Wat is je twijfel? Wellicht kan ik helpen? Groet, Dick

It´s a cheap and not very well made watch. Date wheel and bezel insert not aligned, the overall look is poor. The great value of this watch is a myth.

Probably why the waitlist is probably rivaled by only rolex 😂

Thank you watchfriend ⌚️📸🤘 Appreciate it 😊
Great watch! I am on the wait list for exactly this one. Currently number 4369 😂🥲
It is special to see that the waitinglist is still this long after many year after the introduction of the Vanuatu. But it will be worth the wait 😎⌚️📸
HaHa! Sucker! 😂😂
