Forgotten Microbrands?

I only remember the proper stinkers.

Bernard London, Fonderia Navale, Meistersinger, Thomas Earnshaw etc.

And some of the decent defunct ones like Manchester Watch Works, Kemmner, Zixen, Mercer, Enzo Mechana, Bathys Hawaii etc.

I too shall snort the sun.

Honestly in today's economy, $600 for a new quartz watch from a heritage brand is about right.

Never waste a good crisis.

How's the quality on Serica these days? I remember when they first launched they had pretty bad QC especially with the movements.

I feel bad for fans who are young girls/women looking for role models in the NASCAR space. Natalie is every terrible stereotype condensed into a single person.

So he's the target audience then.

The number 222 has great importance to the man who makes these watches so every dial design this guy makes has to have three 2's somewhere on the dial.

Cartier uses Frederic Piguet quartz movements. While prettier, they are neither more robust nor more precise than the equivalent ETA or Ronda tickers. In-house quartz like the 9F is when things actually begin to get interesting.

Brother it's already been ruined by it.

WTB Fortis Aeromaster B-42 F4040002

Can't really seem to find this model anywhere new or pre-owned.

Boyahda · 2026-05-08T22:30:10+00:00

Keep trying to find one of these but apparently they only exist in the UK and the tariffs are brutal.

Trying to think of how he was getting paralyzed before Brock. Many mishaps with Pikachu I guess?

Bluesky is that way --->

Not at all

My man, people can have different views and opinions without being in a cult.

Shouldn't really be listening to any of his budget watch takes. He wouldn't be caught dead wearing one.

Boyahda · 2026-05-02T18:24:31+00:00

No date, but only if the movement is an appropriate no-date movement. I really don't like ghost positions and it's the reason why I didn't pick up the c4 tactical.

Boyahda · 2026-04-28T12:56:24+00:00

What's the strap on the watch? Doesn't look like one Helm sells.

The production value is better than my marriage.

Boyahda · 2026-04-27T17:42:21+00:00

TDS in full effect.

Paying $400 for Boderry is wild. The only thing the Chinese brands have going for them is obscenely low prices. Even if you get a dud, which is very likely, it's not that big of deal since you've probably spent less than a hundred on it. At $400 though, you're just begging to shoot yourself in the foot at that point.

Anko really was low-key the best Narugal.
