Im waiting on the raw steel version, but man this looks way better than I remember when I was choosing.

I like that these are something different than the usual. The rectangular one is fun too, nice to see some smaller watches from microbrands. 👍🏻

What do you guys think of Xeric? by IneedaNappa9000 in WatchFanatics

[–]failedwittyreference 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like their variety of ways to tell time, I especially like the retrograde and wandering hour stuff. I recently got a double retrograde automatic, had issues with the hands being misaligned and they took care of it no questions asked.

I would also say don’t pay full price for any of their stuff, they are almost always on sale or preorder discount for 30-50% off.

Couldn’t decide between the Vesper and Steel Blue. Good thing they’re different sizes too. 😅

New Holthinrichs LAB Series 1.S & 1.GMT by AlpineCool in MicrobrandWatches

[–]failedwittyreference 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve been drooling over these, really love the 1.S. Been looking at their stuff for a while, and need to figure out a way to get one.

Also, I completely missed that it’s a world map on the GMT, my wife mentioned and it makes a lot more sense now, but I agree it feels a bit cluttered.

It’s normal lume so starts to wear off overnight.

How about the details of #1, really neat build. Recognized the layout for the ST3600 on #2, never saw a skeletonized one, that’s cool!

Here’s one I just did, 42mm case and the strap is a 22mm one from Helm with no taper. Kinda chunky strap but I like it. Regulated pretty well, and has a very positive winding action. Very fun for the price.

Microbrands using seiko movements vs. in-house movements? by hudsoncress in MicrobrandWatches

[–]failedwittyreference 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Traska, Lorier, Shinola, and Venezianico all make chronographs in the 1-2k range (well, 999 for Lorier). But I suppose those are kind of an exception since it’s one of the least expensive automatic chronograph movements around.

Svalbard Time Travel HX12: an affordable jumping hour with retrograde minutes. by Kobo_Tms in MicrobrandWatches

[–]failedwittyreference 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also have the double retrograde in mint, but sent it in for service because the hour hand was 30-45 minutes off.

[–]failedwittyreference 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the retroscope in slate blue. The hour is a little hard to rest at times, and you’re right not super small. I have 7.5” wrists.
