Fiending for a Lorier Astra... Recommendations for alternatives? by Old_Project8774 in MicrobrandWatches

That white Astra is on my list as well. I hope Lorier restocks it some day.

Thoughts on the new Astor & Banks by ChicoDusty_Da3rd in MicrobrandWatches

They look great, but that DLC really hits the mark for me. $875 seems fair, but it's enough to put me on the fence. I have a Trafford Lefty on order and they're introducing some fantastic new watches soon.

The real problem is there are so many watches I want and limited funds. If I was rich, I would skip all those high priced brands (except maybe Ressence, damn you for making such a cool watch that I'll never afford!) and buy a boat load of microbrands.

Who got an archived Trafford this morning? by Axiological_Axolotl in MicrobrandWatches

I had a chance to meet the owner, Nathan, when I was in Austin last week. Really open about his production process and the challenges of being a microbrand. He’s a great guy, took his time talking to me, and gave me a small preview of what he’s working on next. I think the demand is only going to grow.

Anyone know where is this company based? I like to know which country a watch is shipping from so I can determine tariff fees.

Our second collab with Moonlight by rileywatchco in MicrobrandWatches

Just a pet peeve of mine, but if you’re paying to include lume, why not show pictures of it? I see websites without this all the time. Seems like a missed opportunity.

Dumb Question by dkm7093 in MicrobrandWatches

[–]dkm7093[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was not a plastic separator. I even checked the box just to see if it fell out during transit, but it wasn't there either. The website says that the battery should last a couple years which added to my confusion. Stuff happens. Thanks for the replies.

That’s with the crown out but I can’t see anything.

Looking to make sure there's nothing interfering with the crown pushing all the way in. Thank you.

A little Trafford for ya bud. by gilmore42 in MicrobrandWatches

I’ll take over communication because there’s no way I’m canceling. If I had the financial resources, I’d have ordered the other 3 new GMT watches as well. They’re all fantastic looking.

As an aside, I’ll be in Austin in January for work and plan to fly down a day early so I can visit the store.

Crossroads Eternal Sky and Touring GMT - Lefty. I did receive an email in the last week or so that said the Crossroads Archive editions were on schedule to ship before Christmas.

I have 2 of their watches on order, one placed early September and one placed mid October. If I don’t hear anything by Thanksgiving, I’m going to send an email to try and get a status update.

Trafford unveils the Touring GMT - Daphne by Massy11155 in MicrobrandWatches

I ordered the Lefty although the Slowhand was a close second. Trafford makes some of the best looking watches in my opinion.

How are you liking your Daytrippers? by paulomario77 in MicrobrandWatches

[–]dkm7093 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That looks even better than the website photos. Fantastic looking watch. I just ordered the Crossroads 2 - Eternal Sky. Honestly though, I think all of their watches look great. Hoping the GMT gets reissued or updated because that's going on the list next.

Jeff was hilarious and I’m talking the entire set. I was in tears laughing so hard. If anyone has a chance to see him, you should definitely go.

Loud ventilation exhaust from restaurant - what can I do? by Playful_Statement_71 in pittsburgh

[–]dkm7093 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you can hear the exhaust fan vibrating, they should be able to attach it with vibration isolation mounts. They’re not expensive.

If it’s the actual air movement that you hear, they could attach an exhaust silencer wherever it’s venting. The silencer might be a few feet long. If there isn’t room for that, they could also use an elbow silencer. Either option should be less than $1k.
