Helenarou 5517 feedback

[Deeno11]

I’ve recently been considering buying a 5517 top shelf build from Helenarou and I’m looking for feedback. Old searches on this site from nearly ten years ago say some not so good things, but before I shell out the almost $800 for an elabore’ build, I’m looking for current feedback and if their products are worth the money. Thank you.

It’s a very expensive homage which would never be mistaken for an original.
if you want a good homage get a WMT or OWC
if it needs to say Rolex on it head over to the vintage section and read some more.

These look decent, but I don't have any personal experience with them: https://forum.replica-watch.info/forum/rolex-tudor-replicas/293683-the-helenarou-milsub-5517-5513

Could you replace HR fixed bars with springbars, or is the hole in case side too loose for spring bar end?

I have one of these on my radar as well. Was told by HR it would be several months before theyre restocked.
