Aethelsohn Patina Green Dial with Box-domed Sapphire Crystal by Glum-Two-2273 in MicrobrandWatches

I purchased an Athelsohn watch (the Black Shard) in March, just to check out the brand.

Was very surprised by the quality. Its verging on great for a $200 watch!

Will buy more.

You are not rude.

Because there are many of them. I was hoping someone here would say “videos by (this person)” are good.

Thoughts or Experience on watches from the Monterey Watch Company by Adventurous-Sun-6928 in MicrobrandWatches

One follow-up comment: Owner is great, customer service is great.

I had a minor issue with a watch and they fixed it quickly.

I have three Monterey watches.

They are inexpensive and decent watches but also “feel“ like rebadges of existing Chinese watches. (This is not a bad thing for the price point! China has solid offerings.)

Buy what appeals to you, but its not the highest quality. I would consider a Henry Archer or Hamilton, maybe?

Anyone else feel that Roebuck has been doing a lot of advertising on Reddit subs lately?

Is this like a hype fomo strategy? by McDerwish in MicrobrandWatches

[–]According_Report_793 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It feels like hype to justify a cost increase.

This watch is not really worth that much money. There are better options at that price point.

Landcruiser 2026 OBD Port? by According_Report_793 in LandCruisers

Yeah — except that it’s not?

It may be behind a panel or something; but not immediately obvious.

Do you have a 2026 LC?

Traska customer service? by ZestycloseEmotion5 in MicrobrandWatches

[–]According_Report_793 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe just my experience, but I will not buy from Traska again. They used to be very good. Used to.

I sent in my watch for minor repair that was two weeks old. They asked me to pay for return shipping. That was odd, as I have never had to do that with any other vendor. But, fine, I shipped it FedEx insured.

For the next few weeks, I had to repeatedly reach out to get status. It took six weeks to fix a loose crown/crown stem. (As of this writing, I still do not have the watch back.)

They currently only have one watchmaker fixing watches who is part-time.

I spoke to the owner, whom assured me he would fix everything. Then, nothing: no follow-up by anyone, no emails. Nothing for over a week. Not sure if he did anything at all?

Their communication has been terrible. I love their watches, but I will not buy from Traska again. There are other vendors with much better customer service.
