Lilienthal Berlin Chronograph LP – Blue SilvervsHelgray Silverstone (Refurbished)

The Lilienthal Berlin Chronograph LP – Blue Silver draws praise for its blue and orange dial design and German manufacturing credentials, with some owners reporting it keeps approximate time and fits the wrist nicely. However, the watch faces significant reliability and quality concerns: multiple owners report the crown detaching during normal use, the chronograph losing accuracy dramatically (about an hour every few days after six months in one case), and the watch failing entirely within one to three years, with SuperLuminova applied only to the hands limiting legibility in low light. Customer service responsiveness is consistently flagged as poor, and the brand is described across the community as a dropship operation with questionable quality control at its $250–$300 price point, though discounted units under 100 euros appear more common.

Owners widely praise the Helgray Silverstone (Refurbished) for its crisp printing, applied indices, legible date wheel, and solid pushers, noting an amazing fit and finish for the price and an attractive aesthetic. Some owners find the metal bracelet squeaks, and the 24-hour subdial is less desirable than sub seconds. One owner criticizes the thick case, downward-angled lugs that can dig into the wrist, and a crystal with noticeable edge effects. Overall, owners rate the Helgray Silverstone (Refurbished) highly for its impressive build quality and aesthetic appeal at its price point.
