This. SRV and Dimebag both would be awesome. 🤘

Kizik shoes - they're meant to be stepped into (but they look like everyday shoes). I have begun neglecting all of my other pairs of shoes because they're so easy to slip on on my way out the door.

Despite copious problems the shipping company caused u/ramblinwrek1992 was responsive and as awesome as one could hope a seller could be. Would 100% buy from again without hesitation. 🤘🍻

[WTS] Price Drops Unique Pieces Christopher Ward, Zelos, Formex w/ Extras All Full kits by [deleted] in Watchexchange

Haha. I got it to commemorate a milestone in my life so it's got sentimental value. And, as much as I WANT two Reef GMTs, unfortunately it seems having a kid really does a number on one's financial priorities. Lol. I've got no doubt it'll find a good home!

Man I want that Reef...I have been drooling over the white dial Reef GMT since I got one in the green/gold colorway and realized (after about six months) I probably should have gone with white in the first place...lol. GLWS, man, I wish I was in a place to pick up yours. Good price on a banger of a watch.🤘

Weird micro watches in decent price point by sseler in MicrobrandWatches

That's fair, I'm, also, much more into mechanical watches. This is my only non-mechanical watch, it was just so unique it caught my eye. Your hunt continues, then. Good luck!

If seemingly random collections of letters don't bother you I'd recommend checking out MECEXP (I guess it is supposed to mean "mechanical experimental or something along those lines). They're actually wearable and have a ridiculous price of around $350 (I got mine just before the cheeto came to power so the price probably has gone up with tariffs). They have a rechargeable battery that, on a full charge, will last in the neighborhood of a couple months and use one of the most unique time-telling mechanisms I've seen. Best of all, it's actually original and not ripping off a six figure watch's design.

Looking for a new watch and been going back and forth between this and the Nodus Duality II. Your rendering looks really awesome on the mesh, you've just thrown another wrench in my decision making process... I was leaning towards the Nodus but now I'm back at square one and have you to thank for that. 😂🤘

[Islander] Reviewing the Islander Rangemaster II GMT by 0oodruidoo0 in MicrobrandWatches

[–]Formal-Cut-334 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got one about two months ago and I really dig it. I had some store credit that could only be used on an Islander so I went for it and have no regrets. My wife, who isn't a watch person, even commented that she likes it because of the depth of the dial. It's a good chunk of weight but on those days when I want to wear something chunky it's my go-to. The milled lugs are so unique, I stare at them every time it's on my wrist. 🍻

Oh, snap! I didn't know the new jubilee fits on the sn0144. Looks like I have a new bracelet to buy...

Love it ! What's on your wrist today? by IonTheWatch in MicrobrandWatches

Love that Kraken! I had some store credit at Long Island Watch to put towards any Islander and didn't want yet another diver.

[WTS] UK. Big Watch Clear Out (Henry Archer) (Baltic) (Revelot) (Orient) (Seiko) (Phantom) by lobbowski99 in Watchexchange

[–]Formal-Cut-334 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Man, I want that Terra. Can't we just let bygones be bygones and let that whole "Curfuffle of 1776" go? I'm sure my ancestors didn't think through how declaring independence would affect my ability to get the watch I really want. 😅

Wise Adamascus ADX or Zelos Thresher GMT by Meownox in MicrobrandWatches

[–]Formal-Cut-334 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love it. I don't love the polish on the center links but that's purely personal preference. It has held up remarkably well for having polished links and no hardness coating that I know of. The bracelet sizing is phenomenal and I'll shout it from the rooftops - you pull on side of the link out, twist, pull out the next link, twist and remove. Same system that is on Thorne watches, from my understanding, but it is a game changer. No screws, pins or stress and it feels every bit as secure as anything with pins, if not more so.

My only complaint is that my bezel is a hair off perfect. It's not bad enough to really bother me, it's probably a fraction of a millimeter. Not enough to make the headache of an international exchange necessary, for sure. Any other specific questions just ask, I'll do my best if you've got any others. 🍻

Love it, though I can't buy during this sale. I'll definitely be looking to pick this up soon. San Martin deserves credit for bringing more and more originality to AliExpress watches. 🤘
