I have sold a few of these HELM Vanuatu and this is my personal one that is now coming to sale, I've truly enjoyed my time with it and always astonished by the build quality when I put it on! If you told me this watch was £1000 I could honestly believe it, I suspect you'll feel the same way once you get one on your wrist! Just check the reviews of it online, it's insane!

Currently HELM have none left in stock and they are expecting more in January/February next year! So here is a great chance to buy one here in the UK for less than retail and without import tax, whilst still in AMAZING condition, see the photos! The watch honestly still looks as good as new!

Sicura, a very interesting brand! Based on what I could find the owner of Sicura actually purchased Breitling in the 70s and had to end Sicura to keep Breitling alive. What a great move on his part and it has left us with some incredible vintage watches from Sicura and all at a truly great price!
The one we have here is an all original Sicura dating from the 70s. The watch is definitely showing signs of age but it all adds to the character and charm, it is running very well too. The dial is a nice black with, what I would call, a rally checkered stripe going through the dial, date at 3 o’clock, nicely lumed hands with a sharp arrow second hand which is also lumed. To top it all off is a friction black bezel which is in good condition and just beginning to fade in a few sections. What a gem!
If you’re wanting a vintage Submariner feel but at a fraction of the cost and with its own unique design points… I would say look no further! This one is perfect.

The Watch

LIP was founded in 1867 and has certainly been through a lot, though before those tough times in the 70/80s they made some very innovative and funky watches, this was certainly one of them! LIP has been reborn and is producing some very great re-issues, they even have one of this watch in Automatic, but this being the OG Electronic, worlds 2nd electronic watch, it is a special watch!

Let's not forget that this also has a super compressor case with inner bezel, plus it's original cross-hatched crowns! It doesn't get much better than this, it is also paired on a very fitting vintage bracelet that suits the watch very well!

Points of Mention

The watch is sold as watch only and therefore comes with no box or papers. The luminous material on the dial and hands is aged evenly and missing a small amount on the hour hand. The crowns operate the watch, though are a little tight. The movement can be a little temperamental after changing the time and stop, with a small shake it continues fine, strongly recommend a service!

Personal Note

Granted! This watch is definitely showing some age and would have seen some better days... It's a true watch, honest and incredible. When I get a vintage watch like this in I get very excited! These are the kind of things that get my gears going. Don't hang about on this one!

The Watch

The Seiko Alpinist is a famous watch within the watch collecting community, if anyone even sees part of the dial they could probably name the watch. We have this paired on the Strapcode Jubilee bracelet which fits the watch perfectly and adds a real sense of quality, the original strap is also provided. This model is freshly serviced, a full set and with the high quality bracelet. I think this is as good as it gets for a highly desirable reference from Seiko! Plus the prices of these have gradually been increasing over the past few years and I do not see that being a trend that is slowing down!

Points of Mention

This watch comes with it's box and paperwork, original leather strap and with the Strapcode Jubilee. The watch was serviced in 2019 and is running well and still has the paperwork for that service. 

Personal Note

Green isn't my colour, never been a fan. BUT I can't get enough of this watch, the tone of green and the way it plays in the light is perfect! I have sold 3 Alpinist in the past and have owned many Seiko's with the Strapcode Bracelets... This is amazing on the bracelet and really turns the watch from a cool watch, into an incredible watch! Don't hang about on this one as I suspect it won't stick around long.

I've said it a thousand times and I am certain I will say it many more watches... Hamilton offer INSANE value for money! Whether that be their vintage watches or their modern watches, even at retail I think they are totally justifiable! Thankfully though I can give you all the opportunity to own them for even less than justifiable, I can offer them to you are undeniable prices!!

This is the all black PVD Hamilton Khaki Field! It looks so awesome and stealth on the wrist, the blacked out dial just adds a whole level of mystery to the watch. It wears so well on the wrist and I have to keep checking that asking price to see if it's correct! The PVD is in great condition, as is the whole watch! It was purchased new and owned by the same owner since August 2016, so be reassured you are getting well hell of a watch! Click that buy button quick.

A Meteorite dial for the price I am offering? That is seriously insane! This watch is built incredibly well and powered by the ever famous Seiko NH35 automatic movement, design cues have been borrowed from Rolex but the dial and rubber strap give it that unique look when on the wrist! Not only that but you also get a Sapphire Crystal, Ceramic Bezel and 500M of water resistance with a helium escape value... This is a true tool watch with great aesthetic features! For the price you truly cannot go wrong!

I still cannot get over the price I am able to offer this watch at! You are truly getting so much watch for the money, incredible design, clean gold plating, beautiful white glossy dial, amazing blue hands and numerals... What is not too like? Also it comes with the original leather strap and buckle which looks like it has had barely any wear over the years! At retail you probably would have paid more than the price I am offering it at...

If you are looking for a great dressy watch for an affordable price then look no further, this ticks all the boxes and still has a great brand name on the dial! Treat your wrist to a dressy piece! Oh and being 34mm it's the perfect size for a dress watch with this design and case colour!

The time has come to say good bye to one of my personal watches and one I have probably owned and worn the most beyond my Tudor. It'll definitely be sad to see it go but I know for a fact whoever owns this beautiful watch will not be disappointed! It was freshly serviced this year and is running great, I decided not to have it polished so it definitely has signs of wear to the bracelet but due to the polish and brushed styling it wears them well and you really cannot tell unless you photograph in direct light like I did for the photos above! 

Unfortunately this watch has sold.If you would like to be informed when another watch like this comes in please email. info@KibbleWatches.co.uk

The Watch

Whilst certainly a watch that won't be to everyone's taste the Luminox brand has a very dedicated and serious following amount the watch community. As stated on their website "Luminox has been the watch of choice for the professionals like Navy SEALs, expert counter-terrorism operatives Scott Cassel, the US Coast Guard, Law enforcement divers and many more for the past 25 years".

This model features Tritium tubes which allows for better and longer legibility when diving, it also doesn't require a charge of light, a very fun feature and when in the dark it increases in glow.

Points of Mention

The watch will be fitted with a fresh battery before being shipped. The watch comes with it's original box, papers, guarantee card and even it's original rubber strap and hand tag. The all black coated case is in good condition with very signs of wear. 

Personal Note

Whilst this is a design of watch I would never personally own I did find it was the easiest watch to photograph as did Harry when he was doing the professional store shots. I could imagine using this watch as a runaround watch or a gym watch.

The Watch

The Tissot visodate is most known for their modern dress watch, but the Visodate harps back to the 1950s and refereed to a line of watches with a "Visible Date". This model has a beautiful cushion case which is becoming very popular at the movement, it has nicely angled lugs which slope around the wrist perfectly and provide a very comfortable wearing experience. 

Points of Mention

This is a vintage watch from the 1970s and therefore does have signs of wear. The dial has developed patina which is very visible around the edge of the dial. The watch is running though has no service history. The strap is aging and we would recommend a replacement.

Personal Note

The case shape of this watch is what got me excited, the dial with it's patina and being all original, it's a very affordable gem.
