    Anyone familiar with Helgray watches?

    UK designed, Miyota movements. Thinking of buying one, but looking for any feedback.

    I had the Le Mans from them. This was a seikoquartz movement. For the price point they seem really well finished with some nice little design points. Reminded me of the classic twin dial racing chronos. I felt it was a little too dressy for me as i don’t wear smart work suits etc so moved it on. They are Canadian based so the postage and customs will add a little to the price.
    My old watch is on SC now

    I bought a B2 from them via Kickstarter, and while it's a great watch, their original renders failed to convey the actual final appearance of the watch - TBH it's actually both subtler and better than anticipated, just not what I expected! They're quality items, for not much $$$ Put it this way - I've ordered another from them (1960s Gulf oil livery Superfast Chrono), which I'm keen to get my paws on!

    Bought an Orange Bomber secondhand, for the money its a nice watch, they seem very keenly priced. Quartz is good for a grab and go.
    I do like a number of their others and will get another or more.

    Ooh! That does look good, lovely detailing and I like those pushers. It's a shame they are q bit on the big side for me.
