Hello George! Greetings from Brazil. I need to give you a watch tip. Very cheep one from Cadisen, with a Myiota 8215 series on it. It's another Cadisen model C8225 a homage (I think so) to a Hamilton Jazzmaster Slim. For about 40 US dolars. You just need to change the awful bracelet for a nice leather strap. It has a 38mm diameter, with sapphire (no AR) and a 22mm lugs (a bit strange, but it looks very cool). I have the blue one (all steel) I change the bracelet to a brown leather strap. I love this cheap watch.

Thanks George I have the Helm Komodo (2.5 years) and I covet it as much as my Oris Aquis. So I bought this Cadisen in the last sale with a fitted end tropical strap, as a beater, so my true beater does not get beaten🤣

[@WatcheswithGeorge]

:)))) I think that's the definition of a true enthusiast . I can see why people like them, but I, unfortunately do not have the wrist or the patience for one. I have friends with two and the adore them!

Received my Helm Vanuatu 2 weeks ago. Have to say, it is even better than expected.

[@WatcheswithGeorge]

I do agree on the value for money aspect. But 2 years ?!

[@WatcheswithGeorge]

How long did you have to wait?

[@Crackity_Jones.]

@@WatcheswithGeorge Just short of 2 years, 22 months

[@lew9223]

Fine looking Cadisen, I like them & have 4 of their watches, great value for money.
Thanks for the review

[@kentuckygreg4725]

Have the Cadisen, like the colors, but to me it wears small. I'm a fan of bigger watches.

[@iron883cd]

i got the orange, and trust me, that wait list is non sense, the cadisen is just the same

[@thegorn]

I don't mind two holes, but three holes is better 🤭

A replica of a micro brand? That`s a bit sad... Just pay a bit more and wait for the real one. I`d also much prefer an NH35 to Miyota 8000, and the lume. Its more important to support micro brands than the likes of Rolex and Omega etc.

[@WatcheswithGeorge]

Agree on all the above. But Helm has a long wait-list for a watch that you might not like. So 86 euros can save you in the long run!

[@daleyfamily2179]

If a Helm has a wafting list that should tell you about why people are willing to wait. Its called "QUALITY". Pass on a clomage/fake of a microbrand. A MICROBRAND LOL.

san martin not san martan

[@WatcheswithGeorge]

There's a bit of sarcasm there 😅 in case you missed it!

[@daleyfamily2179]

Yeah don't wait for the real thing, Have to have it now so buy a clomage and know its still not the real thing, and everyone else who knows watches knows too. LOL. Pass if I cant wait for the real deal then I didn't really want it.

[@WatcheswithGeorge]

Wait for two years to buy a watch that you might not like or buy this now , see if you like it and then buy the real deal? Basically that's what I said at the end of the video. Thanks again for the comment.
