Would you buy one of these Helbergs?

I understand it's a homage to Rolex but really? I dunno, but I can't see it actually being worn comfortably.

Totally see what you mean Steve, your gonna need big wrists for that to fit comfortably.

It's not for me.

Too big and the size serves no real life purpose.

Pretty fugly if you ask me. I wouldn't wear it even if free.

Where did y'all see what the size is? Lug to lug looks awfully long but I didn't see any specs.

Its like a cross between a rusty sub and a Corum bubble! I must admit though its a bit like the character Edith from the hysterical Scottish Comedy show, Still Game. Ugly as sin but you somehow can't help loving her! 

Here is a clip from the show with Edith, wonder if you can guess which one she is!   




At least this watch dares to be different, I like designers who risk it and in an odd way I kind of like it.

I would buy one for $300

Not for me, certainly. It looks more like a submarine, than a submariner...... I am awaiting a very cool homage watch, though. It's on its way from Australia, and will be fairly unique, as it's from a small Australian company. The watchmaker sent me a pic of my actual watch, just this morning.

No - kind of funky, and love the dome, but no. OK, maybe for a couple of hundred bucks, for a gimmick beater.

"a great conversation starter and has a great story behind it" - it has no story behind it, the Rolex one does!
